Hi.

I am sorry to contact you here but I am new and I did not find a better way to reach you.

I am looking for a tool that allow me to automatically monitor webpages. Examples of use: track the price of an item and/or check item availability.

Features that I would like to have:

• Option to track just a portion of a page, instead of the whole page
• Notifications directly on my phone
• Option to customize the frequency of the checks

Does your tool allow this?

My intention would be to use this stuff in a raspberry, as it is cheap solution and it has a low power consumption. Is it in your opinion suitable for this?

Thanks

diffengine doesn't really let you do this, since it only monitors content referenced in RSS feeds. However if you write a scraper that creates an RSS feed of URLS that are to be monitored then you can point diffengine at it.

I do this for https://www.whitehouse.gov/ since the Trump administration killed their RSS feed. I scrape the contents of the White House home page every hour and generate an RSS feed of recent content at my own location:

https://inkdroid.org/rss/whitehouse.xml

Then I point diffengine at that RSS URL. It's been working nicely for a few years now.
