Run single-time crawling using ./run_spider.sh script
Run in background using ./daemon_process.py script. It crawles one time per 30 min (1800 sec) and updates file date.json. If there is a change, the email notification is sent to address from send_to file
Files username, password, email_login, email_password and send_to are empty not to exploit personal info and should be filled locally

What are those files?

email_login is your login in GMAIL. From this address the notification will be sent
email_password is password from that GMAIL account
