With a modern architecture, Fredy provides a **clean Web UI**, removes duplicates across platforms, and stores results so you never see the same listing twice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## ✨ Key Features - 🏠 Scrapes **ImmoScout24, Immowelt, Immonet, eBay Kleinanzeigen, WG-Gesucht** - ⚡ Instant notifications: Slack, Telegram, Email (SendGrid, Mailjet), ntfy - 🔎 Uses the **ImmoScout Mobile API** (reverse engineered) - 🌍 Runs anywhere: Docker, Node.js, self-hosted - 🖥️ Intuitive **Web UI** to manage searches - 🎯 Easy to use thanks to a user-friendly Web UI - 🔄 Deduplication across platforms - ⏱️ Customizable search intervals ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## 🤝 Sponsorship [](https://github.com/sponsors/orangecoding) I maintain Fredy and other open-source projects in my free time.\ If you find it useful, consider supporting the project 💙 Fredy is proudly backed by the **JetBrains Open Source Support Program**. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## 👨‍🏫 Demo You can try out Fredy here: [Fredy Demo](https://fredy-demo.orange-coding.net/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## 🚀 Quick Start ### With Docker > [!NOTE] > In order to start Fredy, you must provide a config.json. As a start, use the one in this repo: https://github.com/orangecoding/fredy/blob/master/conf/config.json ``` bash docker run -d --name fredy \ -v fredy_conf:/conf \ -v fredy_db:/db \ -p 9998:9998 \ ghcr.io/orangecoding/fredy:master ``` Logs: ``` bash docker logs fredy -f ``` ### Manual (Node.js) - Requirement: **Node.js 22 or higher** - Install dependencies and start: ``` bash yarn yarn run start:backend # in one terminal yarn run start:frontend # in another terminal ``` 👉 Open **Default Login:** - Username: `admin` - Password: `admin` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## 📸 Screenshots | Job Configuration | Job Analytics | Job Overview | |-------------------|--------------|--------------| |  |  |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## 🧩 Core Concepts Fredy is built around three simple concepts: ### Provider 🌐 A **provider** is a real-estate platform (e.g. ImmoScout24, Immowelt, Immonet, eBay Kleinanzeigen, WG-Gesucht).\ When you create a job, you paste the search URL from the platform into Fredy.\ ⚠️ Always make sure the search results are sorted by **date**, so Fredy picks up the newest listings first. ### Adapter 📡 An **adapter** is the channel through which Fredy notifies you (Slack, Telegram, Email, ntfy, ...).\ Each adapter has its own configuration (e.g. API keys, webhook URLs).\ You can use multiple adapters at once --- Fredy will send new listings through all of them. ### Job 📅 A **job** combines providers and adapters.\ Example: "Search apartments on ImmoScout24 + Immowelt and send results to Slack + Telegram."\ Jobs run automatically at the interval you configure (see `/conf/config.json`). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Immoscout Immoscout has implemented advanced bot detection. In order to work around this, we are using a reversed engineered version of their mobile api. See [Immoscout Reverse Engineering Documentation](https://github.com/orangecoding/fredy/blob/master/reverse-engineered-immoscout.md) ## Analytics Fredy is completely free (and will always remain free). However, it would be a huge help if you’d allow me to collect some analytical data. Before you freak out, let me explain... If you agree, Fredy will send a ping once every 6 hours to my internal tracking project (Will be open sourced soon). The data includes: names of active adapters/providers, OS, architecture, Node version, and language. The information is entirely anonymous and helps me understand which adapters/providers are most frequently used.

**Thanks**🤘 ## 🛠️ Development ### Development Mode ``` bash yarn run start:backend:dev yarn run start:frontend:dev ``` You should now be able to access _Fredy_ from your browser. Check your Terminal to see what port the frontend is running on. ### Run Tests ``` bash yarn run test ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## 📐 Architecture ``` mermaid flowchart TD subgraph Jobs["Jobs"] A1["Job 1"] A2["Job 2"] A3["Job 3"] end subgraph Providers["Providers"] C1["Provider 1"] C2["Provider 2"] C3["Provider 3"] end subgraph NotificationAdapters["Notification Adapters"] F1["Adapter 1"] F2["Adapter 2"] end A1 --> B["FredyRuntime"] A2 --> B A3 --> B B --> C1 & C2 & C3 C1 --> D["Similarity Check"] C2 --> D C3 --> D D --> E{"Duplicate?"} E -- No --> F1 F1 --> F2 ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## 👐 Contributing Thanks to everyone who has contributed!
