- the username of a gmail account to be used to send emails

Once the three files are in place, run python3 scraper.py in the root directory to generate the scraped ads. Then, run python3 send_unsent.py to send a summary email for each unsent file.
If anything goes wrong in send_unsent, the file will remain in the unsent directory. Requires Python 3.7 or later.
