JLPT-Notify

A small Go program that checks the JLPT Leiden website periodically and notifies me by SMS whenever the source code changes.

Why?

I missed out on registrations for the JLPT exam this year because I couldn't register in time. I want to avoid a similar situation next year by getting a notification the moment registrations open up.

Installation

To install and use this program yourself, you may refer to the following steps:

git clone https://github.com/bjvanbemmel/jlpt-notify
cd jlpt-notify

cp .env.example .env # Copy the example environment file so that Docker can make use of it
# Don't forget to update the environment file. It contains your Twilio credentials and the crawling interval.

docker compose up -d

It's possible to run this program without Docker as well, but be aware that my implementation of Twilio uses environment variables to fetch the credentials. You'd have to export the variables yourself, or include some way for the program to load an environment file by itself.
