## Create your [Slack Webhook](https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks)

Create a new webhook for a channel named #pokealerts  

https://my.slack.com/services/new/incoming-webhook/  

And use the web hook url as the SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL in your .env / Heroku config.

## Configuration

Create an .env file at the project root with the following content filled out. Do not use your main PokemonGo account information.

    AUTH_SERVICE=google/ptc

    [email protected]

    PASSWORD=password

    LOCATION_NAME=Some location, USA

    RARITY_LIMIT=3

    SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX

    DISTANCE_UNIT=meters/miles

### Pokemon Data

This project contains a file `pokedata.csv` where you can customize the assigned rarity to each Pokemon.

Receive notifications for any Pokemon with rarity at `RARITY_LIMIT` or higher and at a distance walkable before the expiration time.
