# Schnupons

A puppeteer script that handles tedium around online coupons at my local grocer.

## Background

Our grocer offers online coupons. To use them, you present a barcode at checkout, and it applies all relevant coupons from towards whatever you're buying. On any given day, there's 150+ coupons available, and most of them aren't relevant. I don't want to scroll through them all to figure out if there's anything I need.

This little script logs in, "clips" every single coupon available, then exits.

## Requirements

- Node 10.15.1 or later.

- A [Schnucks](https://nourish.schnucks.com/) account

## Install

From the project directory, install and symlink the binary:

```

npm ci && npm link

```

For updates:

```

git pull && npm ci

```

## Usage

```

Usage: schnupons [options]

Options:

  -V, --version                  output the version number

  -u, --username       Your account username

  -p, --password       Your account password

  -t, --timeout         amount of time to wait for completion account password. Defaults to 3600 (5 minutes)

  -k, --iftttKey       IFTTT.com webhook key. Used with the 'iftttEvent' option to dispatch notifications

                                 and errors.

  -e, --iftttEvent   IFTTT.com webhook event name. Used to dispatch notifications and errors.

                                 https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/YOUR-EVENT/with/key/YOUR-KEY

  -h, --help                     output usage information

```

## Example

```

# in cron sourcing current user profile

0 8 * * * bash -lc "schnupons --username $SCHNUPONS_USERNAME --password $SCHNUPONS_PASSWORD  --timeout 3600  --iftttKey $IFTTT_WEBHOOK_KEY"

```

## Troubleshooting

On failure, there's an option to dispatch alerts to IFTTT, which you can send anywhere.

Otherwise, the last 14 days of logs are kept in `./logs`

## Tip

If you're running locally on osx - use pmset to ensure cron jobs wake your machine:

```bash

# cron job runs at 8:00am, so let's wake a little early

pmset repeat wakeorpoweron MTWRFSU 7:58:00

```
