Welcome to Fishie's Schwack Listner!

its a bot coded to let you know as soon as tickets are up for sale on Schwack website so you can buy it asap.

Getting started

to use this bot you will need to have a telegram account and also create a telegram bot token. for starters you can download a built version of this bot on the release section or build from source yourself rename the example.appsettings.json to appsettings.json and open the file in notepad set the MovieName when setting the movie name you dont need to enter the full movies name. you can just write one or 2 words that you are sure will be in the movie's title the bot will just check to see if the name you put is contained in the websites movie name list before notifying you

after this you will have to create a telegram bot and add it to a group chat and give the bot admin rights to the group chat then obtain the group chat id put the groupchat id and bot token in the settings file

now you are ready to launch the bot on launch the bot will send a test msg to your group to make sure notifications work. if you didn't get it then check troubleshoot section

how to customize the delay

line 59

await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30));

edit this line currently it checks every 30 mins you can change the 30 to 15 to make it every 15 mins but then you will need to rebuild from source. i didnt add a delay feature to settings cause i knew 90% of you will have it be 1 sec and end up ddosing the site and ruin this for everyone

can this auto book?

yes but i have disabled the code for it. the code is there but its not called at any point in the public version. im sure i dont need to explain why it would be a dumb idea to make such a feature so accessible.

if you wish to enable the feature and abuse it thats on you. i take no responsibility since you will have to manually go through the code and enable it.

Troubleshoot

cant get test notification

mention your bot in the groupchat and then open the following link api.telegram.org/bot{YOUR_BOT_TOKEN}/getUpdates remember to replace YOUR_BOT_TOKEN with your actual bot token as you wrote it in the appsettings.json file

when the link opens look for something like this

   "chat": {
               "id": -469696969,
               "title": "Gamer",
               "type": "group",
               "all_members_are_administrators": true
           },

make sure the title matches your group chat name. if it does take the id and put it in the ChatId section in your appsettings.json file

yes you have to include the minus sign or it wont work

It didnt detect the movie

if (movie.Title.ToLower().Contains(settings.MovieName.ToLower()))

here is the code for detecting movie name so as long as your spelling is correct and the name you gave is in the title on the website it should detect.

it would be a good idea to first test the bot on an already available movie to see its working as expected.

I cant run it

you prolly need to install .net 7.0 runtime

i cant build from source

download prebuilt from release section if you have trouble building then it means you are too dumb to build it cause it works on my machine so no reason for it to not work on yours

I found a bug

it works for me so you must have confused a feature with a bug

Auto Buy Tickets?

i disabled the code for it. if you want to you can enable it yourself. i take no responsibiliy for your actions!

linux or mac verion wen?
