CryptoBot 0 Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hey guys, I built a bot that scrapes values off a real estate site and every couple of months or so the page's url changes. Is it possible to implement a patch to my bot or bots that I've already sold that reflects the new url of the page I want it to scrape? Like an update which automatically downloads when the bot starts. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HelloInsomnia 1103 Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 You could either have an update to the bot where the user downloads a new version. Either by implementing a licensing system that checks for updates or by checking yourself. If you want to check yourself all you do is create a page on your site with the current version number. If the bots version is less it can download a new version. Another way is to keep a version of just the url(s), the bot could check the version of that and download a new url file to store locally and use that in the bot.
