Zero-capital automation: running a business from Termux

Description and use

Automated data‑scraping and reporting business running entirely on an Android phone via Termux.

Running an automated data‑scraping and reporting business without a dedicated server or expensive hardware.

The author reports a consistent income stream from a fully automated scraping and reporting service running entirely on an Android phone.

Install Termux and required packages (python, requests, beautifulsoup4, schedule, smtplib, email.mime.text, nano/vim).
Create scraping.py to fetch and parse target webpage using requests and BeautifulSoup.
Create report_generator.py to call scrape_data, format data into a report string, and optionally add charts.
Create email_sender.py to generate the report and send it via SMTP_SSL to a recipient.
Schedule the email_sender script with Termux schedule or cron‑like functionality to run daily.
Monitor execution via Termux logs or notifications (optional Termux‑API).
