This setup allows to trigger an IFTTT event whenever a web page changes. It uses the urlwatch utility and the IFTTT Maker Channel.

Instructions:

• Sign up to IFTTT.
• Connect IFTTT's Maker Channel, and take note of your Maker key.
• Create a new Recipe that takes the Maker Channel as input and outputs wherever you want. I used IF Notifications with the IF Android app, so that I get a notification on my phone whenever the trigger runs. The script passes the updated URL to IFTTT as value1, and my notification contains URL updated: {{Value1}}, so that I know which of the web pages has been updated.
• On the machine that will check the website for changes install urlwatch and python2-requests.
• Echo the URLs to check to ~/.urlwatch/urls.txt, one per line.
• Then, copy over my hooks.py to ~/.urlwatch/libs/hooks.py adding the URLs to the ifttt_urls tuple and substituting YOUR_TRIGGER_NAME and YOUR_MAKER_KEY.

A quick and dirty syntax translation / conversion reference guide to ease the transition between Python and Julia. This is not meant as a reference to the language. For that you should read the manual.

Some important differences

• Arrays in Julia are indexed starting from 1.
• In Julia classes (i.e. types) don't own methods. Methods are implementations of generic functions and are invoked in a "static style", i.e. instead of Python's str1.rstrip(), we will have rstrip( str1 ), instead of file1.close(), close( file1 ).

Some important similarities.
