Python Uptime Watcher

Monitor websites for a 200 status. Get a text from Twilio when a non-200 status code is reported.

Installation

pipenv shell

Rename the .env.example file to .env.

Then put one website URL per line on websites.txt. You can see mine as an example.

Twilio

• You need a Twilio account. It's free to sign up. Make sure you verify your phone number and email address.
• You need a Twilio phone number. They'll say you need to pay $1.00 but you can use their free trial for a while.
• You need your Twilio SID, Auth token, and to set the TO and FROM variables in your .env file.

Running the script

• Make sure you have one website per line in websites.txt
• Run python watcher.py
