A simple program to notify you whenever the 'results' are uploaded online - or for that matter if any website updates over a period of time.

Web Results Checker

Web Results Checker is a simple tool made out of a necessity for when my girlfriend had to check her online PhD results. Indian websites have a history of going down during peak result checking hours and also unannounced delays - as was the case this time. This tool allowed us to keep a check on the status of the results being out or not without having to manually refreshing the website a thousand times.

Usage

Simply, download the latest package from Releases. Run and enter your 'results page' URL. Click on submit. Let it run - it will notify you as soon as there is even a character modified on the website - do something else with your time.

Download the source code and run it using Python.

How It Works

It's a simple program which calculates the hash of the website and compares it every 20 seconds with the latest to see if there has been an update to the content of the webpage.
