#Filtered Victorian Covid-19 exposure site alerts

ARCHIVED JANUARY 2022 as the Victorian government is no longer updating this list publicly.

Query the Victorian Government Covid-19 exposure site data for chosen suburbs and sends an alert for each new exposure site added via Pushcut for iOS.

This package provides a command exposure-alert that can be run the query once or schedule the query to run at regular intervals until a specified ending time. Alternatively, you can schedule the query to repeat indefinitely by calling exposure-alert once from cron.

#Configuration

config.json (example) is a JSON file with the following data.

• Suburbs and (optional) public transport to be queried
  • alert_suburbs is a list of suburbs
  • alert_buses is a list of bus route numbers
  • alert_trains is a list of train lines
  • alert_trams is a list of tram route numbers
• Pushcut settings
  • pushcut_url is a string containing the Pushcut Webhook URL
  • pushcut_devices is an optional list of device names to receive alerts; if this is missing or blank, all devices on your account will receive alerts

#Pushcut

Create a notification and copy the Webhook URL to pushcut_url in config.json. The title and text of the notification will be replaced by details of exposure sites. Add whatever actions you want to the notification -- I have one to open the table of exposure sites.
