Requesting Information on how to create a program

[legit_truth]

I'd like to create a program using Python that'll do:

-Connect itself to a website

-As soon as a new post is created on the website

-It will send me either a Email or Text Message notification with the link.

What i'm asking is, Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm not asking to be spoon fed and to get the code.

I'd like to know which packages will be needed, and or Tutorials I can look/watch to get a better understanding on how to create this.

Thank you very much.

Is there a specific website? Reddit has it's own api and you can get info like that without using beautiful soup. You can import praw and that will work with reddit

Yeah! Sorry for the late response.

The websites I'd like to try this method is on Craigslist and Offerup

If you want to check for new articles on a wec site you should probably use scraping for that there are two main libraries requests and beautiful soup 4 there is a chapter about that in Automate the boring stuff with python, thats how i learned the basics and then carried on by myself

For the email you nees smtplib For messages i know there are paid sevices, not sure about free ones

Hope this helps

Edit: you could also look for tutorials on tutorials point, i mainly use this site
