Has anybody seen this Oyster Alerts site?

Hi Guys,

I came across the service recently. I am sick of logging in to check my TFL account for incomplete journeys. This site says they will alert you about these journeys so no more manually logging in.

I am thinking about signing up but does it work?

I was wondering why people might not have commented... I guess a link would be handy (slightly embarrassed face)

Any firm has operating costs, there must be something for them even if no direct charges for doing this work

It looks like this is built by a techie as a hobby project. Loads of people do stuff like this for free and find a way to make money later. Usually by ads or donations.. some people even just run for free. full stop, which I find weird.

Small sites like this can be run using the free offerings of web hosting companies. I think i'll give it a go and report back.

To link your account at registration just enter your TFL account username and password

What could possibly go wrong?

Yea true that. That was my main concern. But i've already given my banking credentials to apps like Emma to scrape my various accountss
