A simple script to check a website for a particular string and notify if the occurances change.
Notify via pushover.net notification service, osascript and say
This was set up as a cron to check every 10 minutes.
*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/env bash /path/to/script/check.sh| function pushover { | |
| curl -s \ | |
| --form-string "token=qweryty..." \ | |
| --form-string "user=asdfg..." \ | |
| --form-string "message=Changes Found" \ | |
| https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json | |
| } | |
| function mac_notify { | |
| osascript -e "display notification \"Changes Found!\" with title \"Site Checker\"" | |
| } | |
| available=`curl <insert your url here> | grep -o 'search string' | wc -l` | |
| if [ $available -ne 1 ]; | |
| then | |
| pushover; | |
| mac_notify; | |
| say changes found; | |
| fi |
This actually worked. It helped me get booked into a course that was selling out all the time.
