This script can automatically enter tips into Kicktipp based on the quotes of the bookmakers. It is written in Python and uses Playwright to interact with the website.
The main difference between this approach and kicktipp-bot is that this tool is...
- intended to be run as a job not as a service. So it will stop immediately after checking the games and requires an external scheduling tool such as Cron, GCP Cloud Run Code Triggers or AWS EventBridge.
- using Playwright instead of Selenium.
Copy the contents of the .env.example file into a new file called .env and fill in the values or deploy with Kubernetes.
Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the dependencies.

If you want to receive a notification when the script tips for a match, you can use the Zapier or NTFY integration.
Please create a Zapier Account and set up the following Trigger: Custom Webhook. Please also make sure you set the ENV Variable ZAPIER_URL to the URL of your custom webhook. Then you can set up actions like sending an email or a push notification.
Set up your ntfy server and set the ENV Variables NTFY_URL, NTFY_USERNAME and NTFY_PASSWORD to the values of your server. Create the topic kicktipp-bot and subscribe to it. Then you will receive a notification when the script tips for a match.
Thank you to Anton Engelhadt for his kicktipp-bot which inspired me to write this script.
