I run the marketing for a website and don’t have a direct connection with the web team, and we run into the problem where the web team does a website change and removes certain scripts we implemented - without notification. Is there a way to run a “script monitor” that checks external webpages to see if a specific script is loaded? And if not, to send an email?

We will always know the script names and webpage URLs. Most pages will have between 3-5 scripts. the scripts may either load directly from page source, or from a secondary js file that references it. It would be best to run the script hourly.

I’m happy to use some javascript or bash scripts with a cron job, but am also tinkering with Scrappy.

Does anyone have experience on this and some ideas on which path to start with?
