How I Automated My Side Project to Earn While I Sleep Using Claude

说明与用途

使用Claude自动化技术新闻通讯和代码审核服务，实现无人工干预的被动收入。

问题

The side project—a niche technical newsletter and automated code‑auditing service—required manual weekend work for content creation, code analysis, and payment processing.

结果

The automation reduced weekend maintenance to a fully autonomous nightly job, enabling passive income through automated newsletters and code‑audit payments.

工作流

• Pull latest trending GitHub repositories and tech discussions via a script.
• Send data to Claude‑opus‑5 with adaptive thinking and high effort to generate concise security audit and summary.
• Stream response and extract text content.
• Use Claude‑sonnet‑5 with output_config JSON schema to produce structured audit data (severity, summary, actionable_fix).
• Store JSON payload in database.
• Send newsletter to subscribers.
• Trigger Stripe invoices for premium audits.
• Schedule the entire pipeline on a cron job for nightly execution.

证据

Then I decided to completely automate the pipeline using Python and the Anthropic API.

The system runs autonomously on a cron job, delivering value to subscribers and processing micro‑payments without my intervention.

Here is the core script that powers the automated analysis. Notice how we use claude-opus-5, enable adaptive thinking, and omit parameters like temperature which have been removed in the current API version.
