A script which notifies me when I have a canvas conference (made this because canvas doesn't have one??? and corona means there are way more conferences)

conference_notifier.py

import requests, json, time

notify_url = 'my notify url'
url = 'my canvas api (including /api/v1)'
token = 'my canvas token'
headers = {
	"Authorization": "Bearer {}".format(token)
}

def notify(message):
        requests.post(notify_url, data=message)

notify('Started conference notifier')

print('Getting all courses')
r_courses = requests.get(url + 'courses', headers=headers)
courses = json.loads(r_courses.text)
print('Got {} courses'.format(len(courses)))

def notify_conferences():
        for course in courses:
            id = course['id']
            r_conferences = requests.get(url + 'courses/' + str(id) + '/conferences', headers=headers)
            conferences = json.loads(r_conferences.text).get('conferences', [])

            for conference in conferences:
                    if conference.get('join_url', None):
                            notify('You have an active conference: "{}"'.format(conference['title']))
                    else:
                            print('No conferences in {}'.format(course.get('name', None)))
	
while True:
    notify_conferences()
    time.sleep(60)
