Zero-capital automation: running a business from Termux

Описание и применение

Автор демонстрирует, как вести бизнес по сбору и анализу данных, полностью используя Android‑телефон и Termux, без вложений в серверы.

Задача

Start a business with minimal upfront cost and validate ideas before investing.

Результат

The author successfully runs a lean, automated data‑scraping business from a single Android phone, achieving zero capital server costs and full portability.

Рабочий процесс

• Install Termux from F‑Droid or Play Store
• Set up Python 3 and required packages (requests, BeautifulSoup4, schedule, smtplib, email.mime, tqdm, sqlite3, Termux:API)
• Write a Python script to scrape data, parse HTML, and store results in SQLite
• Create a Bash script that runs the Python script daily using a while‑true loop and sleep 86400
• Run the Bash script in the background with nohup to keep it alive after Termux exits
