Self-hosted Marktplaats notifications for Telegram:
- Allows authorized users to add and remove search queries
- Periodically performs a search on Marktplaats
- Sends out notifications for new search results to the subscribed user
Caution
This is an unofficial bot that uses unofficial APIs, so you take all the responsibility for any consequences of running the bot, for example, account or IP bans.
Note
I realize the documentation is not complete – this is not a deliberate choice, but rather the best I could do given the limited resources. I strive to maintain and improve it over time.
