My most pathetic script yet. Checks local Culver's for the Flavor of the Day ice cream and sends a message to Slack when it is Bonfire S'mores.

culvers_fotd.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Script to check Culver's and alert when it's bonfire smores
import requests
import os
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

# Set environment variables for the following items
slackToken = os.environ['SLACK_TOKEN']
culversLogo = os.environ['CULVERS_LOGO']
city = os.environ['CULVERS_CITY']

# Pull the local Culver's page and use BeautifulSoup to parse
page = requests.get(f'https://www.culvers.com/restaurants/{city}')
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.text, 'html.parser')

fotdSection = soup.find("div", {"class": "ModuleRestaurantDetail-fotd"})
fotdString = fotdSection.text
fotd = fotdString.split('Day: ')[1]

# Using rstrip to remove the extra line break so I can compare the strings
if fotd.rstrip() == 'Bonfire S\'mores': 
    slackData = {
        'channel': '#general',
        'text': 'The flavor of the day is Bonfire S\'mores',
        'username': 'culvers',
        'icon_url': culversLogo,
        'token': slackToken
    }
    response = requests.post('https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage', slackData)

Hi friend, I was curious if Culver's had an API for flavors of the day and found this -- I just want to let you know that there is nothing pathetic about this script. 🍨
