Data Parser

A ready-made script that periodically visits a given page (URL) and pulls data from it (via requests + BeautifulSoup) — e.g. tracking a product price or new posts.

    Get the values you'll need

    This template needs 2 variables: URL, SCHEDULE. Here's exactly how to get each one.

    URL
    1. The address of the page your script should periodically check — e.g. https://example.com/products.
    2. Paste the full address, starting with https://.
    SCHEDULE
    1. Enter a 5-field cron schedule: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week. Times use UTC.
    2. Examples: */15 * * * * — every 15 minutes; 0 9 * * * — every day at 9:00 UTC; 0 * * * * — every hour.
    3. The job runs once immediately on startup, then on its schedule. The container must stay running between executions.
    4. Not sure how to write your own? Open crontab.guru — it builds a schedule visually and explains what it means.
  3. 3

    Deploy it

    Click the button below — it opens the templates page with this template already selected. If it needs variables, paste the values from the step above and click Deploy.

    Deploy "Data Parser"

    Deploy usually takes 20–40 seconds. The project status appears in your dashboard and switches to "running" once it's ready.

  4. 4

    Check that it works

    Like Cron, there's no web address here. The script fetches the URL at startup and then follows SCHEDULE (UTC). Results and errors appear in the project Logs.

    This type of project has no web address of its own — that's expected, not an error.

    Something not working?

    Open the project page in your dashboard → Logs tab — it shows the exact reason (wrong token, code error, missing variable). Still stuck? Contact support right from your dashboard, or via the Telegram bot with /support.
