Automate RSS feed and JSON API monitoring by running Python scripts scheduled with cron to poll endpoints. The scripts fetch new items, deduplicate them against previous runs, and provide only new content updates for your notifications.

Track new GitHub commits and pull requests automatically by configuring Python scripts to poll repository endpoints. The scripts detect new items, deduplicate them, and output the latest changes for your automated update workflow.

You need cron or a similar scheduling tool to trigger the Python scripts at regular intervals. The scripts handle the actual polling of RSS feeds, GitHub repositories, and JSON APIs, while cron ensures continuous automated monitoring.

Deduplicating updates from multiple RSS feeds is handled internally by the Python monitoring scripts. They track previously seen items and filter out duplicates, ensuring you only receive notifications for genuinely new content.

Real-time notifications on external JSON endpoints are achieved through frequent cron scheduling of the Python scripts. While not strictly real-time, short polling intervals closely approximate immediate updates for new JSON API content.

Receiving duplicate notifications when polling external data sources indicates the deduplication logic is not persisting previous state correctly. Ensure the Python scripts maintain a record of processed items between scheduled cron runs.
