Pokemon Go Notification System

This is a fork of jxmorris12/PokemonGo-Finder, a fork of the popular PokemonGo-Map repository, with the purpose of notifying users where to find nearby Pokemon. All API and map functionality was left untouched.

This fork is focused on Slack integration, with the possibility of other integrations in the future.

Config File

Instead of from the command-line, all arguments are read from a config.json file.

See config.json.sample.

Optional arguments:

• step_limit: Determines how far the "player" will search. A value of 1 is the same as a stationary player. A value of 2 means the player searches in 4 locations. And etcetera.
• notify_distance: Distance in meters within which to send notifications. if set to None will notify on everything.
• notify_ignore: Comma-separated list of Pokemon to not send notifications for.
• notify_far_ignore: If set along with notify_distance, will notify outside of the notify_distance if the Pokemon does not exist in notify_far_ignore. Useful for rarer pokemon.
• notify_schedule: If set, only notifies on specified weekdays and/or hours of the day. See config.json.sample for an example. Weekday of 0 is Monday, and hour of 0 is midnight to before 1am.

It is also recommended to use your own Google Maps API key, set it in credentials.json.

See credentials.json.sample.
