Budget: 12000 UAH Deadline: 7 days
Hello.
I am implementing a service for automatic bid management through the Hotline Auctions API with a secure architecture and risk control.
Here’s how I propose to do it:
• Python service with modular logic (core + API client + rule engine).
• Configuration via YAML/JSON (min_bid, max_bid, step, budgets, working hours, change limits).
• Scheduler (cron/apscheduler) with customizable frequency.
• Protection against "bid ramping": limit on changes per hour and daily cap on growth.
• Complete logging in the database (PostgreSQL) + CSV export.
• Telegram notifications for errors, hitting max_bid, exceeding budget.
• Retries with backoff + safe stop during API instability.
• Docker for deployment on any VPS.
MVP (1 offer_id) — I will create it as a separate stable module, which can then be scaled to a list or the entire store.
Documentation, README, config, demo day with logs — included.
I am ready to start with the MVP and then expand to a full set of rules.
