LMS HCMUT Notification

Overview

This Python script is designed to monitor changes in your LMS courses and send notifications to a Discord channel when new content is detected. It utilizes web scraping techniques to compare the current course content with the previous state and notifies users of any updates.

Features

• Automatic Monitoring: The script periodically checks for updates in your LMS courses.
• Discord Notifications: Notifications are sent to a Discord channel with details about the new content.

Prerequisites

Before running the script, make sure you have the following:

• Python installed
• Required Python packages installed (requests, beautifulsoup4, Flask)

Setup on Vercel

After deploying this script, make sure you do this:

• https://your-domain.vercel.app/get: Come to browser and enter this url until it returns : Crawl Successfully

Keeping the Script Running 24/7 with UptimeRobot

To ensure the script runs continuously, follow these steps:

1. Go to UptimeRobot and create a free account.

2. After logging in, click on + Add New Monitor.

3. Choose HTTP(s) as the monitor type.

4. In the Monitor Name field, give your monitor a name (e.g., LMS Notification).

5. In the URL (or IP) field, paste the Vercel project URL and add https://your-domain.vercel.app/recheck. Example: your-domain.vercel.app/recheck

6. Set the Check Interval to 5 minutes.

7. Click Create a Monitor.

8. For example, if you have 21 course, create 3 monitors. Because each run it will check 10 links, so it need 3 monitors. Ex: https://your-domain.vercel.app/recheck?1, https://your-domain.vercel.app/recheck?2, https://your-domain.vercel.app/recheck?3

9. Remember to add https://your-domain.vercel.app/get so if the program get interrupt, it will crawl the data again.
