Environment Requirements

This plugin requires two runtimes:

Python 3.12+ with uv for:

• Instagram scraping (ScrapeCreators API)
• Event deduplication (rapidfuzz)
• Newsletter generation (Jinja2)
• Config validation (Pydantic)

Node.js 18+ with bun for:

• Facebook event scraping (facebook-event-scraper npm)

Why Two Runtimes?

The facebook-event-scraper library is JavaScript-only with no Python equivalent. Rather than reimplement it, we use a subprocess bridge with strict JSON contracts.

Package Managers

• uv: Fast Python package manager with lockfile support
• bun: Fast JavaScript runtime and package manager

Both ensure reproducible environments via lockfiles (uv.lock, bun.lockb). </essential_principles>

1. Full setup - Install all dependencies from scratch
2. Check environment - Verify everything is configured correctly
3. Update dependencies - Update to latest compatible versions
4. Troubleshoot - Debug environment issues

Wait for response before proceeding.
