Requirements for building and running

• Java 8 or higher
• Gradle 2.8 or higher
• An account in vk.com that is not a pity to lose (admins are struggling with fake accounts and it can be banned)

How to build, configure and run

For building the project use Gradle. Go to the root project directory and run gradle dist command. It will generate zip archive in build\dist directory. Extract it somewhere and script is almost ready for running (just need to link it with your VK account and setup some properties).

Now about the configuration. First, you need to have an account in vk.com, which you'll use for running the script. I would recommend to use an account that is not a pity to lose, because it can be banned for "strange activity". The next thing you need to do - to configure some script properties. Go to conf directory and find there vkb.properties file. Here is an example of configured properties - vkb.properties. There are five required properties:

• current.user.id - identification number of your account.
• application.id - identification number of application (it's used for API requests to vk.com).
• access.token - the key that is used for access your application to vk.com API.
• communities.search.words - comma-separated list of key words, which will be used for searching of competition communities (e.g. competition,gifts,prizes).
• post.classification.model - the model that allow identify competition posts.

Full list of properties, descriptions and example values you can find here.

Also there is Dockerfile for VKB.
