Further Info/Tips

There are two "tricks" that can be extremely beneficial as there is a common trend experienced by 7-Eleven App users: 1) If you receive an error processing your credit/debit card, you can purchase a 7-Eleven Gift Card in-store and apply the credits instantly onto the App. 2) You do not need to use the funds on your App to pay for the fuel, you can lock-in the price and pay via Cash or Card at the checkout saving the hassle of constantly topping up, gift cards, etc.

Master131 spends a lot of time creating and maintaining the script at Project Zero Three that we all know and love.

    Badda bing, badda boom!

    I've updated the Github repo this morning with a few changes. One fixes that stupid bug that when you locked in it would error. It was caused by getting rid of the session variables too early, so now they are removed just before it redirects to the index page after locking in.

    Second one was something I've wanted to do for a while (it turned out easier than expected actually). Now the first time you run the script it should download a file called "stores.json" into the folder you are running the script from. Now when you do a manual lock in it will search the stores.json file for the postcode you entered (i.e. 3106 for Templestowe this morning) and then it will use the coordinates from that store and with a few minor alterations (so you are still in proximity to it) and then show you the confirmation page.
    Also, someone wanted a Dockerfile. Here's a stupidly simple one that seems to run fine on my NAS. I'm sure it can be easily modified and probably needs to be but it works.

    As always you can view a live version minus a semi-average CSS styling sheet at Schema's site —> link to online lock in.

    Any other feedback let me know.

    • mmjjbb on 17/03/2019 - 11:42

        That would have to somehow simulate the message sent from the 7/11 store to the 7/11 server telling them the voucher has been used..
        Not sure if even possible :O

        Not from the app. There was at one stage an API call that said the code was used but it seems to be invalid now

      Thanks Freighter, you're a legend!

      Managed to get the Dockerfile to work on my Synology. Note the linked Dockerfile on your repo is missing a closing parathesis ] at the end of line 11. Once I fixed this I was able to compile and run the image.

      Brief howto for anyone interested: Copied the app zip file to a folder called fuelapp, added in my api details to app.py, compiled using docker via ssh - change into fuelapp directory, and then run 'docker build -t fuelapp .' without '
      Used Synology docker GUI to launch the image created and mapped external port of my choice to internal port 5000. Browsed to nas-ip:PORT and app is running!

      • Freighter on 20/03/2019 - 15:44

        Ah, thanks! I'll update it now. Is that the reason why the Diskstation Manager doesn't install it and I had to SSH into my box to install it manually?

        • L45er on 21/03/2019 - 06:29

          I don’t think there is a way to compile a docker image using a Dockerfile in DiskStation manager. Once I’d compiled it from command line ( docker build -t fuelapp . ) it then showed up in DiskStation manager’s Docker app as an image, I then clicked Launch on the fuelapp image under the Images tab of the Docker app and set my port mapping. After that it started as a container and has been running fine since.
          Note you need to have root access via ssh to use the docker command which is achieved by sudo -i and also have cd into the directory where the dockerfile and app files are located to compile the image. In my instance it was cd /volume1/docker/fuelapp

        I assume so. If it can run the 3 extra requirements and send requests to external websites I don't see why it won't work.

    • OZBMate8911 on 19/03/2019 - 20:45

      As always, love your work.

      Feedback wise, and I'm not sure if this has already been suggested - after screwing myself out of the 120.9 U98 tonight I was thinking about running a local version that automatically locks a price in if it falls below a preset price/certain %ge below the local 7-11.

      Would this be hard to implement?

        Thanks!

        running a local version that automatically locks a price in if it falls below a preset price/certain %ge below the local 7-11.

        That would be easy enough. You only need to login once I think as long as your access token and device secret are active then you shouldn't have any issues. If you want to try and hack a script up by yourself then you pretty much just follow this pseudo code:

        -> login to your account
        -> while(True) <—- (so we are in an infinite loop)
        -> Either search the script in the OP for the cheapest price or query your 'favourite' stores every hour or so (I think a maximum or 10-15 stores run out of unleaded quite often).
        -> if price <= your maximum (say $1.20)
        -> lock in the price, otherwise sleep(30 minutes)

        Otherwise hopefully tomorrow afternoon I can write you something up. I'll upload all of the API calls that I have bothered to convert to Python on my Github page hopefully tonight or tomorrow after I clean the code up a bit.

        • tarken on 20/03/2019 - 16:22

          @freighter how do we do auto login?

    • sd679560 on 19/03/2019 - 21:11

      Does this work on mac osx/iphone?

      • Freighter on 20/03/2019 - 15:47

        Yes. It's browser based so it is OS/mobile platform independent. That's a reason why I made it.

        It should run natively on OSX too if Python is installed by default (I think it is)

    Fuel prices have shot to $1.50 in Brisbane and I can still lock in 91 for < $1.20. This app really shines in times like this.

  • meatgasm on 18/03/2019 - 17:37

    For people who use the website to lock, occasionally you get an "500 server error". After that, the 7-11 app refuses to update the lock or even find cheap fuel nearby. What fixed it for me (android), was to clear the app data from the settings, reboot the phone( probably not necessary) then log in again to the app. The locked price should load in a few seconds.

    I suspect this happens because the 7-11 app is in the background when the website tries to fuel lock. In order to avoid this in the future, I'd clear it from the recent apps list whilst getting a lock from a web based service.

    • Freighter on 18/03/2019 - 18:24
      +3

      For people who use the website to lock, occasionally you get an "500 server error".

      Interesting. Does it come up with an "oh no! 500 error" message or something? I should try and add proper error handling so you guys can tell me what the error(s) actually are!

      With the 7-11 app not updating the lock, the app itself polls their servers for a fuel lock when you first open the app if you are already logged in, and if you aren't then when you do login. And then every 3600000 milliseconds (so once an hour) after that.

      I usually just logout and relogin to get my fuel lock to show up.

      • georgev on 18/03/2019 - 18:28

        @Freighter just curious, do our passwords saved on any database ?

        • Freighter on 18/03/2019 - 18:53
          +2

          Nope. The only log that shows up is when the script was started. We/I don't log any usernames or passwords or IP addresses. The only metric we have of tracking how many lock ins were made was through Google Maps API but now I edited how the coordinates for lock ins are made that metric is next to useless

      • cwongtech on 18/03/2019 - 18:29

        I usually just logout and relogin to get my fuel lock to show up.

        Force close via opening in multi task view a couple of times in android and iOS usually works too

      Just logging in and out of the app fixes this. Correct in assuming it's because the app was running in the background.

    Hi All.

    For some reason, Microsoft has closed my Azure account (The account that https://fuel.ethergroup.com.au is being run on)
    It seems to still be running at this time, aswell as my other services i'm hosting with Azure.

    So depending on the cost of the VM, i may or may not run it up again if it goes down. (I don't want to be out of pocket)

    But this is all dependent if it goes down (hopefully it doesn't) and I'm trying to speak to Microsoft to get it re-instated and figure out what has happened.

    • sharka on 19/03/2019 - 11:04

      What is the cost of a VM?
      Maybe we can all chip in considering we are all benefiting from it?

      • Schema on 19/03/2019 - 11:20
        +1

        Still looking into options at the moment, I don't like what Microsoft has done and just made it vanish without any notification, was going to do some maintenance on it and had come across it.

        1) I'd be looking at a cheaper one to start out ($5-10ish), and if it becomes a pain in the ass / slow etc i'd be looking to scale it up to a better VM ($15-20)

        2) To be honest, i'd also be looking to host my personal domain on it (low resources), and possibly redirecting the url of the fuel locker to a subdomain on it, as i don't want to renew the ethergroup domain to reduce costs.

        • Schema on 19/03/2019 - 11:21
          +1

          My azure VM was hitting the $200/month in resources which was super overkill, but was making it flow nicely.

          Currently on the phone to Microsoft as they called me back to investigate further, will keep updated on what i'll be looking at doing.

      use your 7/11 app login details on the website.

      select which fuel you would like, and press lock it in.

      It will automatically lock in the max Litres based on your 7/11 app account balance.

      The reason isn't so much the $au or the price of (tapis) crude oil, but mostly the refineries are increasing profit margins.

      Have a squiz at this graph.

      https://www.aip.com.au/pricing/international-prices/internat…

      In the first graph, The blue is the price of oil, the green is the price of (refinery) ULP. You can see in late Feb, the refineries were selling 95 for less then the price of crude oil. Then you can see in March they're decided to make some money (not that they were losing money, because they had bought the fuel under contract at a lower price).

    Hey Guys,

    When i was having issues the other day with my Azure Hosting for the https://fuel.ethergroup.com.au site, a few mentioned that they'd be happy to possibly chip-in for a new server for when Azure closes it properly (They did the same thing to me AGAIN a few days ago, and spent a couple hours getting it back) - So i'd say the end is near for my Azure service and i will need to start looking into an alternative, possibly running one side-by-side as a "backup" site for when the Azure one goes down, which i think will possibly be soon, as two times now i've had to have "paid" incident requests to have my service restored (2 out of 3 have been activated (Free) )

    I'm assuming i've setup this Patreon correctly and whilst the service to use is free, and always will be - It would be appreciated (You're not obliged) to chip in for a hosting service for this site to run without any downtime.

    Thank you for supporting the web portal & Freighter along this journey.

    Just as a FYI - Over the last few months, every time 98 drops to a decent price (15c) or lower, it seems 1k+ People lock in that same night, so i believe we've hit over 7-10k+ Lock-Ins in just a few small months.

    Thanks again all,
    Schema.

      I just came across this thread. I know it's not much, but I put $1 a month. Someone shared the website with me and it was down so I had a dig around to see why and here I am. Keep up the good work!
