# Checks every minute to see if a Roblox user is online, and pings a discord webhook if that status has changed.

import requests

while True:

    print(textToSend)

    if previouslyOnline != online:  # only if it is different to last time
        print(previouslyOnline)
        print(online)

        requests.post("*", data={"content": textToSend})
        previouslyOnline = online

    sleep(60)
