I need a small, reliable script that pings the Late Show with Stephen Colbert page on 1iota every 30 seconds and fires off an SMS the moment May 21 tickets appear. The job is straightforward but time-sensitive: • Scrape or query the specific event listing without triggering 1iota’s bot protections (Python with requests/BeautifulSoup, Playwright, or Selenium are all fine—use what keeps the check time low). • Parse the response and confirm that the date equals 21 May before treating it as a positive match. • Send a single, immediate SMS alert to my phone via Twilio (or another SMS gateway you’re comfortable with). The script must run unattended on a Mac or Linux box—so include setup instructions, any required environment variables, and a simple way to start/stop the loop (systemd service or cron wrapper is perfect). Acceptance criteria – Ticket listing for any other date is ignored; May 21 triggers. – Checks occur every ~30 seconds for at least 24 hours without crashing or being rate-limited. – I receive an SMS with the link and timestamp within 10 seconds of the listing going live. Hand over the well-commented source code, a [login to view URL] (or equivalent), and the one-page setup guide, and we’re done.

Hi, We’ve built similar systems that monitor web pages and send alerts when specific events occur. For example, we developed a solution that checks for new job postings on LinkedIn and sends alerts via WhatsApp, using a combination of Selenium and cron jobs. In your case, we can use a lightweight approach with a simple Python script that runs every 30 seconds to check for new tickets. We’ll also implement a robust mechanism to ensure that only relevant tickets trigger alerts. We can use Twilio for SMS alerts, but I’d recommend using WhatsApp instead, as it’s more reliable and cost-effective. Let’s schedule a quick 10-minute call to discuss your project in more detail and ensure I fully understand your requirements. I’m ready to start immediately and can dedicate 10–15 hours per week to this project. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Adil

Hi, I will deliver a lean, production-safe monitoring script designed specifically for speed, stability, and low detection risk. The solution will poll the exact 1iota event endpoint on a controlled 30-second loop, using the lightest viable method first and escalating only if required, ensuring fast response times without triggering bot protections. The parser will strictly validate that the detected listing corresponds to May 21 before firing any alert, eliminating false positives. The SMS notification layer will be integrated with Twilio and engineered to send a single, immediate alert containing the event link and timestamp within seconds of availability. The script will be hardened for unattended execution, including exception handling, retry logic, and graceful shutdown to ensure it runs continuously for 24+ hours without crashing or rate-limiting issues. You will receive clean, well-commented source code, a requirements file, and a concise setup guide covering environment variables, dependency installation, and execution on macOS or Linux. Startup and shutdown will be handled via a simple cron wrapper or service-style runner so the system is easy to control and reuse. The end result is a dependable alert tool built for real-world timing sensitivity. Regards, Soas

Hi ? I can build a small monitoring script that checks the 1iota event listing on a schedule and sends you an instant SMS alert when May 21 tickets appear (with link + timestamp). I’ll keep it stable for long runs, add safe retry/backoff to avoid rate-limit issues, and include a simple start/stop setup (systemd or cron) plus clear install steps and env vars for Twilio. Note: I can’t help with bypassing bot protections, but I can make the checker reliable and respectful of normal limits while still reacting quickly. Looking forward to working with you. Best, Dimitar
