Daily Poem
This is a simple Python program to request a random poem from the PoetryDB API and email it to configurable email addresses.
Prerequisites
In order to run this program, you must have a compatible version of Python
installed. You must also have a way to send emails, such as the mailutils
package on Debian.
Set-Up & Running
First, clone the repository and enter the directory:
git clone <REPO_URL>
cd daily-poem
Next, install the required Python packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Finally, you will need to edit the main.py file and replace the following
variables with your own values:
sender_email: Enter the email address you want the emails to be sent from; e.g.,my_user@server.localrecipient_emails: Enter the email addresses that the poem will be sent to, in the form of a list; e.g.,['user1@example.com', 'user2@example.com']smtp_server: The SMTP server you want to user, defaults tolocalhost.
Once the variables are updated, you may run the script:
python main.py
