This web app allows you to trigger Travis CI builds periodically

The Travis CI cron trigger

This project permits to have Travis CI builds triggered periodically, for example to test scrapers.

At Travis they will eventually implement cron (ref: travis-ci/travis-ci#582), meanwhile, I hope this helps :)

Technically

This project is made of two parts:

• A Django web app (running at http://traviscron.pythonanywhere.com) that lets users add new triggers to the queue.
• A Python module, travis_ping, that given a GH project name and a Travis OAuth token, triggers a rebuild.

The actual work is done by a continuously running process, crontab-like: python manage.py runworker.

Probably the first 3rd party app made using the new Travis API!
