Website Monitor
A zero-dependency Python tool for checking website availability, measuring response times, and detecting content changes. Uses only Python's standard library (urllib) — no requests, no aiohttp, no external packages.
Features
- Uptime checking: Verify any URL returns the expected HTTP status code
- Response time measurement: Precise millisecond timing for each request
- Content change detection: SHA-256 based hashing to detect when page content changes between checks
- Text verification: Confirm that specific text appears in the response body
- Multi-URL support: Check multiple sites in a single command
- JSON output: Machine-readable output for integration with other tools and dashboards
- Exit codes: Returns exit code 1 if any site is down, making it perfect for shell scripts and cron jobs
Usage Examples
Simple uptime check:
python main.py https://example.com
