js-store-scraper-bot

JavaScript (Node.js) port of store-scraper-bot.

⚠️ Preview / unstable — use at your own risk. This port was produced largely with AI assistance and has not been tested end-to-end against a live Telegram bot or the upstream Java implementation. Behavior parity is intended but unverified. Do not run against a production database.

The Java version remains the reference implementation.

Status

• Mongo schema matches Java/Go (collections: common, group, apple_app, google_app; string _id; class discriminator).
• Telegram command identifiers match Java exactly: /info, /addgroup, /delgroup, /listgroup, /addapple, /delapple, /addgoogle, /delgoogle, /listapp, /checkapp, /checkappscore, /rawappleapp, /rawgoogleapp.
• HTML parse mode; weekend-silent daily report; configurable API cache (default 10 min).

Requirements

• Node.js 20+ (uses built-in fetch)
• MongoDB 4.4+

Configuration

See .env.example:

Name	Notes
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN	Telegram bot token (required)
TELEGRAM_BOT_USERNAME	Bot username (required)
MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING	Preferred (Java parity); falls back to MONGO_URI
MONGO_DATABASE	Optional; inferred from URI path if omitted
ADMIN_IDS	Comma-separated Telegram user IDs (required)
ENV	DEVELOPMENT or PRODUCTION
SOURCE_COMMIT	Optional; shown on startup
APP_CACHE_SECONDS	Cache TTL for upstream API responses (default 600)
NUM_DAYS_WARNING_NOT_UPDATED	Threshold for daily warning (default 30)
SCHEDULE_CHECK_APP_TIME	Cron expression in Vietnam timezone (default 0 7 * * *)

Run

npm install
cp .env.example .env   # then edit credentials
npm start

Or via Docker Compose:

docker compose up --build

Differences vs Go / Java

• Group / admin / chat IDs are JS numbers. Telegram chat IDs fit in safe-int range, so this is intentional and matches Telegram's documented limits.
• Pino logging instead of Java/Go's structured loggers; semantics equivalent.
• HTTP via Node 20's built-in fetch (no extra dependency).
