It consists of a web scraper which scrapes data of the College website's placement notice every 24 hours, and if it finds a new notice up, it sends it as an email to all its subscribers.\n\nYou can subscribe to the service \u003ca href=\"https://placement-alerts.herokuapp.com/\"\u003ehere\u003c/a\u003e\n\n## Technology Stack\n\n1. Flask - Core framework used to build the App\n2. PostgreSQL - Serves as the database\n3. BeautifulSoup - Used to scrape data off the college website\n4. Sendinblue API - To send emails to the subscribers\n5. Bootstrap CDN - For styling purpose\n\n## Local Development Setup\n\nFollow these steps to get the project running on your local machine.\n\n**1. Fork and clone the repository.**\n\n**2. Open terminal in the project directory.**\n\n**3. Create a virtual environment using the following command**\n\n```\nvirtualenv venv\n```\n\n**4. Activate the newly created virtual environment by using the following command**\n\nFor Linux/Mac\n```\nsource venv/bin/activate\n```\n\nFor Windows (Using Git Bash)\n```\nsource venv/Scripts/activate\n```\n\n**5. Create a .env file and add the following values to it**\n\n```\nDATABASE_URL=\u003cpostgresql-database-uri\u003e\nMAIL_PORT=587\nMAIL_SERVER=smtp-relay.sendinblue.com\nMAIL_USERNAME=\u003cyour-sendinblue-email\u003e\nMAIL_PASSWORD=\u003cyour-sendinblue-account-api-password\u003e\nMAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER=\u003cyou-email-address\u003e\nADMIN_PASSWORD=\u003cpassword-of-your-choice\u003e\n```\n\nNote - Instead of PostgreSQL, you can also use Flask's inbuilt SQLite database. In that case, set Database URI to\n\n```\nDATABASE_URL=sqlite:///db.sqlite3\n```\n\n**6. Create the tables by running this command**\n\n```\npython create_database.py\n```\n\n**7. Run the Application**\n\n```\nflask run\n```\n\n## Screenshots\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/45410599/111032686-79682900-8433-11eb-8460-aee1ba710039.png\" \u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex-direction: row margin-top: 10px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/45410599/111032200-0f4e8480-8431-11eb-9e93-b3e50eb255a3.png\" width=\"250px\" style=\"margin-right: 10px;\" alt=\"\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/45410599/111032205-107fb180-8431-11eb-92aa-e7d88ced1ba2.png\" width=\"250px\" style=\"margin-right: 10px;\" alt=\"\"\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Famlannandy%2Fplacement-alerts","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Famlannandy%2Fplacement-alerts","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Famlannandy%2Fplacement-alerts/lists"}
