canvasapi-monitor

This script monitors the Canvas API documentation and then posts any detected changes to a Slack channel.

Configuration

Copy settings.template.py into settings.py and then fill out the SLACK_URL field with the URL of your Slack webhook. For more information about Slack webhooks, see their API documentation.

I personally run this script as a cronjob:

$ crontab -e

0 9 * * * python /path/to/monitor.py
