A little python script to refresh a given URL every 10 seconds

refreshUrl.py

#! /usr/bin/env python3

import webbrowser
from time import sleep

url = input('Input the URL to reload, including "http://: ')

while True:
    print("refreshing...")
    webbrowser.open(url, new=0)
    sleep(10)

This code is five years old and has never really worked properly - if you’re looking for this functionality, my suggestion (provided with no warranty or assumption of liability) is https://gitlab.com/alanramsey/auto-reload-tab

I found that just using the auto GUI (pyautogui) and using it to automatically press f5 is better. First pip install pyautogui then use the following:

import pyautogui
import time

for i in range(number of times you want to refresh):
    time.sleep(refreshrate in seconds)
    pyautogui.hotkey('f5')
