Introduction

Function

Periodically run the crawler.py to check weather there is update in the ntce website.

If the "考试动态" is updated, a notification e-mail will be sent to your mail box.

Usage

Run it by yourself

1. Install Python 3 + .

2. Install requests，BeautifulSoup4.

3. Download the code files. Make sure the crawler.py, receivers.json, ReportIDIssueTime.json are in the same folder..

4. Add a periodical tast to run the crawler.py.

5. Add your e-mail address in the receivers.json and it will work, hopefully.

File layout

Let me run it for you

There are 2 ways to do it:

1. Add your e-mail address in the receivers.json and open a Pull Request.

2. Contact me to inform your e-mail address.

Warnning

The program should work well theoretically. But don't rely on it 100 %. You should also check the exam news manually.

If you miss a exam or a piece of news, you could blame the program as well as me, but I would not take the responsibility for it.

Asking for help

• I have tried to use pyinstaller to pack a .exe file. Unfortunately it doesn't work.

• I have also tried to use scrapy. The program work well in my PC and on the zyte.com . Unfortunately, it costs quite a lot to add a periodical task on the zyte.com.

If there are free ways to deploy this crawler, I will appreciate it if you could tell me. (This crawler only generate tiny flow and to be honest, I sincerely don't want to pay for it as it's not necessary.)

Fun

That's me who missed the exam in March, 2022¹!
