etags

Checks urls for etags and reports back any changed urls. Requires DynamoDb, or something like it. For a lightweight, self-hosted version, you can try DynamoDb Bolt.

Usage: etags.py <url> ...

Environment variables

• ETAGS_BUS_NAME: If set, this will notify on an EventBridge bus
• ETAGS_TABLE: Table name for DynamoDB
• DDB_ENDPOINT: By default, the application will use DynamoDb's standard endpoint Set this variable if using a non-standard endpoint or DynamoDb Bolt

This uses boto3, so all AWS Environment Variables will control authentication. If using DynamoDb Bolt, the following must be set, but can be dummy values:

• AWS_DEFAULT_REGION
• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
