Installation

Prerequisites

Requirement	Notes
Rust 1.80+	Edition 2024
`curl`	Required for fetching DTEK pages
`curl-impersonate`	Recommended — greatly improves bypass reliability
SQLite	Bundled via `libsqlite3-sys` (no system install needed)

curl-impersonate (recommended)

The parser uses curl-impersonate to spoof a real browser TLS fingerprint, bypassing Incapsula/Reese84 protection on the DTEK website.

# Debian / Ubuntu
wget https://github.com/lwthiker/curl-impersonate/releases/latest/download/curl-impersonate-chrome.x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
tar xf curl-impersonate-chrome.x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz -C /usr/local/bin/

The library auto-detects the following paths, in order:

/usr/local/bin/curl_chrome116
/usr/local/bin/curl_chrome120
/usr/bin/curl-impersonate-chrome
curl (standard, fallback)

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/AlexMelanFromRingo/dtek-parse
cd dtek-parse

# All binaries
cargo build --release

# Specific binary
cargo build --release --bin dtek-telegram-bot

Built binaries land in target/release/.

Optional: headless Chrome fallback

cargo build --release --features browser

With the browser feature, the parser falls back to a real headless Chrome session when curl fails. This requires Chrome/Chromium to be installed.
