Show HN: InstaRoom SF – Automated Shared-Room Finding
- suyash 12y agoI haven't looked at the script yet but the post fails to mention what service does it uses for looking available rooms? Is this for airbnb or craigslist or what?
- gouggoug 12y agoIt seems to be craigslist in the source code.
- ValG 12y agoCorrect, the readme [1] states that it was built for CL posts. The OP was tired of having to email all of the rooms on CL that met his criteria so he tried to make it a little easier.

- gouggoug 12y agoIFTTT (https://ifttt.com/wtf https://ifttt.com/wtf) is great for that kind of grunt tasks. Create a recipes with a trigger (new Craigslist listings between $800 and $1000 has been posted), link an action (send an email, add the listing to a google doc, etc...) to the trigger, and in a matter of minutes you'll get a google doc filled with rooms to visit!
- Brushfire 12y agoI'm surprised that sending the same message didn't get picked up by CL email-proxy spam filters. Maybe they found a room fast enough.
- _sy_ 12y agoI ran it for about 2 weeks. No issues. The frequency is low too.
