How can I set up alerts for changes on a website I don’t own?

Asked By CuriousCat99 On

Hey everyone! I'm looking to apply for a government lottery that opens periodically, but their website doesn't notify users about openings. I want to set up a tool that will alert me either via email or WhatsApp when it becomes available. Can anyone recommend an easy no-code (preferably free but I'm open to paid options) method to track changes on their site? Thanks a ton!

Unfortunately, I don't think there’s a straightforward no-code solution for this. You might need to set up a web scraper that can check the page regularly and notify you. It’s not overly complicated, but a bit of coding is involved.

You can check out this open source project called [changedetection.io](https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io) for monitoring website changes. I've also previously used [visualping.io](https://visualping.io) to keep tabs on stock availability—might be worth looking into for your needs!

So, with Visualping, can I set it up to notify me about specific keywords? Are there any limits, or can I just get alerts when the lottery opens? If that's possible, what are the benefits of using the open-source option you mentioned instead of paying for Visualping?
