Example Python code to monitor changes on website.
import requests
import hashlib
import time

Define the URL of the webpage you want to monitor

url_to_monitor = “https://example.com”

Define your API endpoint and headers

api_url = "https://api.rapidapi.com/fetch-simple"
headers = {
“Content-Type”: “application/json”,
“X-RapidAPI-Host”: “<your-api-host>”,
“X-RapidAPI-Key”: “<your-api-key>”
}

Function to fetch webpage content using our API

def fetch_content(url):
payload = {“url”: url}
response = requests.post(api_url, json=payload, headers=headers)
return response.json()[“content”]

Function to generate a hash of the webpage content

def get_content_hash(content):
return hashlib.sha256(content.encode()).hexdigest()

Monitor the webpage for changes

def monitor_webpage(url):
print(f"Starting to monitor {url}")
last_hash = get_content_hash(fetch_content(url))

while True:
    time.sleep(60)  # wait for 60 seconds
    current_content = fetch_content(url)
    current_hash = get_content_hash(current_content)
    if current_hash != last_hash:
        print(f"Change detected on {url}")
        last_hash = current_hash

Start monitoring

monitor_webpage(url_to_monitor)
