Scrape the energy prices of the following day (tomorrow) and remove the container:

docker run --rm mwinterer/awattar-scraper:latest --start tomorrow

Scrape the energy prices of the current day (today) and remove the container:

docker run --rm mwinterer/awattar-scraper:latest --start today

Scrape the energy prices of a specific time range and remove the container:

docker run --rm mwinterer/awattar-scraper:latest --start 2024-01-01 --end 2024-01-31

Scrape the energy prices of the following day (tomorrow) and keep the container for future usage:

docker run --name awattar-scraper mwinterer/awattar-scraper:latest --start tomorrow

... so it can be started again, e.g., via a cron job every day:

docker start awattar-scraper
