Scrape the Web for Updates and Send SMS Alerts with Ruby
Blog post from Vonage
We've built an application that sends daily SMS updates to subscribers based on whether it's the weekend or not, using web scraping from `isittheweekend.com`. The application uses Ruby on Rails and leverages the Nexmo SMS API. We created a Rake task to run the application once a day and configured the `whenever` gem to execute the Rake task at 24-hour intervals. To deploy the application, we can use Heroku or other external hosting providers. For local development, we need to make the Rails event webhook accessible to the outside world using tools like ngrok.
