doc_scraper

Tiny util, intended to be run once a day, in order to detect any changes in api documentation.

Installation

Need to build the application, then move the hashes file to a convenient location, then run doc_scraper init to rehash the defined there endpoints. For example:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/Valera6/doc_scraper /tmp/doc_scraper && \
cd /tmp/doc_scraper && \
sudo go build -o /usr/local/bin/doc_scraper ./cmd/main.go && \
cd - &>/dev/null && \
mkdir -p ~/tmp && cp /tmp/doc_scraper/starting_hashes.json ~/tmp/doc_scraper_hashes.json && \
doc_scraper init

Usage

After having had built and initialized, schedule it to be run once a day or so. Command to run is:

doc_scraper check # optionally provide --path argument, if the hashes file is not in ~/tmp/doc_scraper_hashes.json

If any changes are detected:

• prints them to stderr
• sends message to a tg channel, if flag with (token,chatID) provided
• exits with 1

Limitations

• Made with Linux in mind.
• Currently working with Binance only. (easy to add others if needed - open an issue)
• Sends messages to a telegram channel only. (easy to add others - open an issue)
