Receive FurAffinity notifications via email, Discord, Telegram, and more!
This tool reaches out to FurAffinity, gets your current notifications, and then sends you a message on your preferred platform when there are new things to check out!
We send the message using the Apprise library, which supports a wide range of platforms and services.
This tool is designed to poll for notifications, so ideally it should be setup on a system that is always on, such as a Raspberry Pi. You'll also need:
- Your FurAffinity login cookies in a
cookies.txtfile (you can use browser extensions like Ganbo for Firefox or GetCookies.txt for Chrome to get this file for you.) - The Apprise URL for notifications - you can check out their wiki for the list of services and how to write the URLs.
- Python 3.6 or higher
Rename the included config_example.toml to config.toml, and
change:
cookieFile- this should be the path to yourcookies.txtfilenotificationUrl- set this to the Apprise URL
You may also want to adjust other options, such as notifyOn, to specify
what sort of FurAffinity notifications trigger an alert - by default you'll
get notifications for everything (including new submissions), which might
not be what you want.
Once you've set the configuration to your liking, install python dependencies
with pip install -r requirements.txt, and then run the program with python faNotify.py
The program will then periodically check for notifications, and alert you when it sees new ones.
If you have trouble getting notifications, you can set the logLevel in
the config file to DEBUG. This will output a lot more information on the
console, including what notifications the tool currently sees, what it
saw on the last check, and the output from the notification attempt.
