Monitor a section of a webpage for changes - yeto - Dec-05-2017
Is it possible to code a script with Python that would be able to monitor a section of a webpage for changes? It would need to be able to refresh the page every 30 seconds, check for changes and then activate an audible alert if changes are found.
Thank you in advance for any help,
yeto

Yep :)
Look into
requests for getting the page, and beautifulsoup for skipping to the bits you're interested in.
