Blocket Watcher - Sweden

Poll Swedish Blocket.se via the blocket CLI on a schedule, dedupe listings by ad id, and send new matches to Telegram with openclaw message send — no LLM on each poll. Use for classified alerts, Blocket search monitoring, or systemd-based OpenClaw notifications.

Blocket Watch

OS-scheduled watcher for Blocket.se (Sweden). It runs blocket with your search argv, tracks seen ad IDs in seen.json, and notifies only via openclaw message send (Telegram by default). No hosted model is invoked during polling.

When to use this skill

• You run OpenClaw with the Telegram channel configured.
• You have the blocket CLI installed (blocket --help).
• You want periodic checks (e.g. systemd user timer), not OpenClaw Gateway cron alone.

Install (end user)

1. Install OpenClaw and authenticate openclaw so openclaw message send works.
2. Install blocket (see upstream docs for your OS).
3. Copy this skill folder to a fixed path, e.g. ~/.openclaw/scripts/blocket-watch/.
4. cp config.example.json config.json and edit:
   • telegram_target: your Telegram chat id (DM with the bot).
   • queries: one object per search; argv is passed to blocket after the binary name.
5. cp seen.example.json seen.json (or start with {"ids":[]}).
6. chmod +x poll.sh onboard.sh
7. Optional: install systemd/blocket-watch.service and blocket-watch.timer — edit WorkingDirectory and ExecStart in the service file to match step 3.
8. systemctl --user enable --now blocket-watch.timer

Operations

Action	Command
Poll (normal)	./poll.sh
Poll without Telegram / without updating seen	BLOCKET_WATCH_DRY_RUN=1 ./poll.sh
Post current config to Telegram	./onboard.sh
Preview onboard text locally	./onboard.sh --dry-run

Config shape

• enabled: set true when ready.
• telegram_target: recipient for openclaw message send.
• queries: list of { "label", "argv", optional "max_price", "max_price_currency" }. If max_price is set, only listings ≤ max_price in that currency are notified (default currency SEK).

See README.md for argv examples (general search, cars, boats).

Security and etiquette

• Do not commit real config.json or seen.json with personal chat IDs to public repos.
• Respect Blocket’s terms of use and rate limits; this tool is for personal monitoring.
• Telegram targets and search terms are your data — keep them private.
