🍵 smith-tea-calendar

This program creates an iCal file containing upcoming Smith Tea subscription renewals by scraping your account details. I wrote this program because I wanted a better way to track when my orders would renew by tracking that information in my calendar.

Usage

All arguments can be specified as environment variables with the SMITH_TEA_ prefix. It's generally safer to specify credentials this way as environmment variables aren't generally visible to other programs and users.

If at any point the website is updated and the built-in CSS selectors used to navigate the site break, you can use any of the --selector-* flags to change them. For a full listing of options, including all selector flags, use the --help flag.

With uv

This program uses Playwright to scrape you orders. You will need to first run Playwright to install a headless Chromium browser before using the tool the first time.

$ uvx playwright install chromium

Once chromium has been installed, you can run the program as follows:

$ uvx smith-tea-calendar --email "..." --password "..."

With docker

Alternatively, you can run the tool inside a Docker image. This may be useful if you want to run this as periodic job in a container-native environment.

# Or clone the repository and use that copy of the script.
$ mkdir -p scripts/; curl -o scripts/entrypoint.sh \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mrflynn/smith-tea-calendar/refs/heads/main/scripts/entrypoint.sh

$ docker run --entrypoint /entrypoint.sh \
    -v ./scripts/entrypoint.sh:/entrypoint.sh:ro \
    -v $(pwd):/data \
    -e SMITH_TEA_EMAIL="..." -e SMITH_TEA_PASSWORD="..." \
    --ipc host \
    mcr.microsoft.com/playwright/python:v1.57.0 /data/orders.ics

Microsoft has some additional recommendations for running Playwright in a Docker container, the docs for which can be found here.
