Hot Alert

Introduction

Hotalert is a command line tool that for task execution and configuration. Tasks and alerts are defined in yaml files and the program parses the files, executes the tasks and emits alerts when the tasks conditions are met.

For example if you want to send a notification to your mobile phone when a keyword is found on a website you can use the webhook_discord alerter and the scrape_web task.

Example:

tasks:
  - options:
      url: [...]
      keywords: ["Episode 10", "Episode 11"]
    timeout: 10
    alerter: "webhook_discord"
    task: "scrape_web"
alerts:
  webhook_discord:
    webhook: https://discord.com/api/webhooks/[...]
    # $keywords can be used as a placeholder in the message, and it will be replaced with the actual keywords.
    message: "Hi, the keyword(s) `$keywords` was found on [...]"

GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 go build

If you're using Windows use:

$env:GOOS = "linux"
$env:GOARCH = "arm"
$env:GOARM = 5 

go build -o hotalert .
