### Running the Application

30-
This project was stopped when it was found to involve unauthorized data retrieval, including user addresses and gender information, which isn't allowed by default.
27+
```bash
28+
# Start Frontend (Development)
29+
cd frontend
30+
npm run dev
31+
# OR for Production
32+
npm run build
33+
npm run preview # Access at http://localhost:4173/

There are tools that simulate clicking actions on behalf of a user (they are all illegal). By the way, all Discord bot scrapers for ads are also illegal.
35+
# Start Backend (in another terminal)
36+
cd backend
37+
fastapi dev main.py
38+
```

This is where I began initially. Then, I discovered that Vinted had an API. Initially unsuccessful, I revisited the project a couple of weeks/months later, using Man-in-the-Middle software. I spent two months comprehensively understanding everything, especially the authentication process.

> **Note**: A Docker version might be released in the future to simplify setup for non-developers.

# This code and engineering could potentially be used to create a business that Vinties might consider paying for, as it offers significant time-saving benefits

## Features Status

I chose not to proceed further because I don't want to earn money in that manner, even though it could generate passive income and create job opportunities. I reached out to developers from the Vinted team, and my goal for the upcoming years is to get a job at Vinted, as it's one of my dream companies. I wish I could implement some features into the official app.

Vinted stores the access token in a cookie. This is why the app operates for a limited time, requiring the user to copy their access token again, as the refresh token isn't stored on the client side due to security reasons.

This project improved my skills. If I did it again, I'd aim to use more powerful tools like Git, Django, and a JS framework for the frontend to work faster. I'd focus on creating a secure online service. Now, I have a better understanding of API authentication.
