Example repository to scrape a webpage and send a notification. CityStrides does this automatically now, but this is a useful template.

csupdate

This repository and Python script watches for changes on a CityStrides city of one's choosing.

Setup

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install --upgrade pip

Configure

vi config.py
# add your Pushbullet key, if notifications are desired
# add the url for your CityStrides city
# we shouldn't have to change the target_class unless the website changes

Test at the Terminal

# make sure you activate venv first
python scrape.py
python scrape.py

Add repeating script run to Crontab

crontab -e
