PerlGtk Adsense Checker

I'm an adsense publisher, and was checking too often how much I was earning from adsense (almost nothing :-( ).

I know Firefox Adsense Notifier, but I don't use Firefox, but Galeon, so that was not an option to me... so I wrote a small script in Perl using PerlGtk.

PerlGtk Adsense Checker checks your adsense account every 30 minuts, show a small popup in the center of your screen for 5 seconds and updates the the tip for the systray icon.

It is intented to run forever, in your systray. When you put your (mouse) pointer over the icon it will show you a tooltip with the last fectched information.

Dependencies

PerlGtk Adsense Checker depends on the perl modules:

• Crypt::SSLeay
• Getopt::Long
• Gtk2::TrayIcon
• LWP::UserAgent

Download and Using

To use the PerlGtk Adsense Checker you need to download it, untar the file, that will extract two files, names adchecker.pl and adcheck.ico. Then all you have to do (if you have the dependencies installed) is run the script:

$ ./adchecker.pl --username your-adsense@email-acount.com --password yourpassword

Changelog

• v0.1.1
• Support to the new Google Account login.

To Do

This is a running version, that already satisfy my needs (for the moment), but is very uncomplete.

I want to do this improvements in in:

• Options Dialog:
• ask email and password (asked in the first run)
• (maybe, just maybe) the refresh period
• select channels to the the report by channel
• More information:
• Month Average
• Report by day
• Report by channel

Notes

I would need to say you this, but I'm a nice guy.

It is your responsability to ensure that this script don't send information to me or anyone else, and that it doesn't violate anyother rule from the Adsense Terms and Conditions.

Google Adsense also don't endorse the use of third part script as this one, but (at the moment I write this) they don't forbid them. If this change it's our responsability to notice that and stop using it.

I don't take any responsability in problems from using this script, including Adsense account suspension or any other.
