Fantasy Football Email Service

This project is a simple Java project that uses the Web Crawling library JSoup to gather Fantasy Football data and email it.

For my purposes I set up a Cron Job that runs every Tuesday at 8am. This Cron job runs the main application which gets the Fantasy Draft Player Rankings and emails it to myself.

Future Features

• Email Weekly Fantasy Stats from the best players organized by position.

• Build server to automate the email process so more people can use the service.

Getting your Send Grid API Key

1. Go to Send Grid
2. Set up a new account
3. On the dashboard page, find Settings and click on API Keys
4. Click on Create API Key
5. Copy this key and save it somewhere since you won't be able to see it again

Setting up the cron job

In your terminal of choice, open up your crobtab editor using the following command:

crontab -e

Enter your cron command, for example:

0 8 * * 2 cd ${PROJECT_DIR}/build/libs && java -DSENDGRID_API_KEY=${API_KEY} -DSENDER_EMAIL=${VERIFIED_SENDGRID_EMAIL} -DRECIPIENT_EMAIL=${EMAIL_TO} -DPROXY_HOST_NAME=${PROXY_HOST_NAME} -DPROXY_PORT=${PROXY_PORT} -jar fantasy-football-email-service-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar  >/dev/null 2>&1

Replace ${PROJECT_DIR} with the location of this repo.

Replace ${API_KEY} with your Send Grid API key.

Replace email properties with your desired sender and receiver.

If using a proxy provide the proxy host and port.

To make your own cronjob I recommend using Cron Generator
