I want to share a useful project with all fellow CodeForces enthusiasts: a Python script that automatically fetches upcoming Codeforces contests and sends SMS reminders to your mobile phone using Twilio!

What does it do?
Automatically fetches upcoming Codeforces contests.
— Sends SMS reminders to your phone on the contest day using Twilio.

How to Get Started:
— Sign up for a Free Twilio account
— Obtain your Twilio credentials and phone numbers.
Customize the message body in the script as per your convenience.
— Set up automation on PythonAnywhere to run the script daily.
— Detailed Guide is Available on the Repository's Readme file.

Check out the code and setup guide on GitHub: GitHub Repository

It's easy to set up and customize, and it runs on a schedule so you don't have to worry about it after the initial setup, which takes 5-7 minutes.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or feedback!
Happy coding!

Nice work!!

But instead of this work, you should have used telegram API, because of following

1)you don't need to have an external account 2)you can make universal bot and host it it,on your pythonanywhere account for everyone 3)use a sqlite3 db to store user and making their text message customize
