qd-today/qd

QD is a self-hosted Python tool that lets you record HTTP requests and schedule them to run automatically on a timer. The core idea is built around the HAR format (HTTP Archive), which is a standard way browsers save a snapshot of network traffic from a web session. You capture the requests you want to automate, import them into QD's editor, and set them to run on a schedule. The most common use case, reflected in the topics "checkin" and "qiandao" (the Chinese term for signing in), is automating daily sign-in tasks on websites that reward users for visiting each day. Many Chinese platforms and forums give points, coupons, or other benefits to users who check in daily, and QD handles that automatically without you needing to remember. QD runs as a web application built on a Python server framework called Tornado. It has a browser-based interface for managing tasks, viewing logs, and editing the HTTP request templates. The project can be deployed using Docker, which simplifies setup, or installed directly as a Python application. The tool is written for Python 3, actively maintained with regular monthly commits, and available through Docker Hub as a published image. It is open-source under the MIT license and has 24 contributors listed in the repository. The README is written in Chinese and points to a separate documentation site for detailed usage instructions. The project is primarily aimed at users familiar with Chinese web platforms, though the underlying task automation concept applies to any site that requires scheduled HTTP requests.
