The project site and handbook describe notifications through email, terminal output, and many third-party services, with jobs configured in YAML and filters used to normalize the content being watched. ### Historique du projet The project is presented on Thomas Perl's site under a 2008 URL path, and the current site lists version 2.29 as a 2024 source distribution. Its public GitHub repository was created in 2014, while the current handbook documents the modern 2.x architecture: YAML job files, a separate urlwatch.yaml configuration file, reporters, filters, shell jobs, browser jobs, and an SQLite cache database for stored history. The migration documentation explains the importance of the 2.0 line: URLs moved into YAML, the cache directory became an SQLite database, hooks were replaced by extensible jobs, filters, and reporters, and a configuration file was added for user preferences. Those changes turned a simple URL checker into a broader change-monitoring framework while keeping the command-line workflow. ### Historique d'adoption The official project page links to PyPI, GitHub, and Repology packaging status; the input package-manager matrix lists Alpine, Homebrew, Debian, Fedora/dnf, Nix, Arch/pacman, Ubuntu, and openSUSE/zypper. That combination shows urlwatch as a widely packaged Unix-style automation utility rather than a one-platform script. ### Modes d'utilisation A common setup is to install urlwatch, run it once, edit urls.yaml with urlwatch --edit, edit settings and reporters with urlwatch --edit-config, and schedule periodic runs with cron. Each run retrieves a job, applies filters, compares the result against the previous version, and invokes reporters if differences are found. The handbook's job model covers ordinary URL fetches, headless-browser navigation for JavaScript-rendered pages, and shell commands. Its filter system supports selectors, HTML-to-text conversion, PDF and JSON handling, grep-like filtering, sorting, checksums, and chained transformations, making it useful for monitoring release pages, package indexes, documents, APIs, or local command output. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent urlwatch is especially relevant to package-manager culture because package maintainers and power users often need to notice upstream tarballs, changelogs, documentation, security advisories, or formula metadata changing before those changes appear in a feed. It is also itself a well-packaged Python CLI with an official website, PyPI releases, Read the Docs documentation, and broad distro availability. ### Chronologie - 2008: Project website is published under thp.io/2008/urlwatch. - 2014-01-29: Public GitHub repository metadata records repository creation. - 2.0: Migration docs describe the move to YAML jobs, SQLite cache history, extensible jobs, filters, reporters, and urlwatch.yaml. - 2024-10-28: Project site lists urlwatch 2.29 source distribution. ### Related projects - urlwatch belongs to the same practical family as cron, diff, web-checking scripts, feed monitors, and package-update watchers, but wraps those patterns in a reusable CLI with filters, reporters, and persistent change history. ### Sources - GitHub repository metadata: https://api.github.com/repos/thp/urlwatch - Input source_facts.package-manager lists cross-distribution packaging. - Official README: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thp/urlwatch/master/README.md - Official handbook: https://urlwatch.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ - Official introduction: https://urlwatch.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html - Official migration guide: https://urlwatch.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migration.html - Official project site: https://thp.io/2008/urlwatch/ ## Notes de sécurité Aucun manifest local de gestion des secrets correspondant n'a été trouvé pour urlwatch.
