Tathyanka Tracker

Nobody has to refresh a webpage at 6am any more — it emails you when the number changes.

The problem

Tracking whether a specific section of a webpage had changed meant a person opening the page, reading it, and remembering what it said yesterday. Slow, easy to forget, and changes were noticed late.

What I did

  1. Built a scraping engine that captures a chosen region of a page on a schedule
  2. Stored snapshots and diffed each run against the previous one
  3. Ran the whole thing on Celery background workers so checks continue without anyone logged in
  4. Sent email alerts the moment a watched section actually changed

The outcome

Page monitoring became continuous and hands-off. Changes surface as alerts instead of being discovered on the next manual check.

Data automation & web scraping

If someone on your team checks a website, copies numbers into a spreadsheet, or re-runs the same report every morning, that job can be done by a script that never forgets and never takes a day off.
