iphone5s-alerter

================

Sends you a text when an iPhone 5s is available in a local Apple store.

Requirements

------------

* Heroku toolbelt and a Heroku account

* Twilio account and outbound number ($1)

* Git

Set it up

---------

```shell

git clone [email protected]:crcastle/iphone5s-alerter.git

cd iphone5s-alerter

heroku apps:create

git push heroku master

heroku config:add ACCOUNT_SID= AUTH_TOKEN= TO_NUMBER= FROM_NUMBER= ZIP_CODE=

```

Now test it out

---------------

```shell

heroku run "ruby alerter.rb"

```

You should see output saying whether a specific model iPhone 5s is available at a store near you.

Schedule that command to run every 10 minutes

---------------------------------------------

```shell

heroku addons:add scheduler:standard

heroku addons:open scheduler

```

In the Heroku scheduler web interface, add the command `ruby alerter.rb` to run every 10 minutes.

A text message will be sent to `TO_NUMBER` from `FROM_NUMBER` using Twilio when an iPhone 5s in black or silver is available near `ZIP_CODE`.
