Hi,

I’m looking for a feature in Skript that detects new things that have happened in a website. For example, I have a command on my server that gives you the link to the server’s blogspot. How can I check if there’s a new post on the blog and warn the player through Skript? Is it even possible? Would it really require Skript to be compatible with blogspot’s API?

Thanks in advance.

So the only time I used http requests was with JS, and it was just to get/put data into a .json file, so I'm kinda new on the topic and wanted to know how I can get certain data from an actual website, in this case how can I get the title of the latest article of the blog.

Well you will have to send a get request to the page with the title on it, then you find the part with the title (most websites use classes, e.g. `<h1 class="title">` or id, e.g. `<h1 id="title">`). You can make your script search for that part in the body of the html response, and that's where the data is. If you have skript-mirror, String#indexOf(str) will be useful.

Okay, I will take a deeper look at this. I might need help later. Thank you.
