Simple keep alive python3 script that makes a HTTP request every 2 minutes.

http-keepalive.py

import time
import urllib.request

# Sleep for 2 minutes before sending the next keep alive
# This value is in seconds
DELAY = 120

# Url that we will be requesting.
URL = "https://example.com"

# NOTE: I dont know if caching will become a problem, if it does, trying mixing up the URL...


# Send the keep alive request to Google
def doKeepAlive():
    global URL
    contents = urllib.request.urlopen(URL).read()
    print("PING")

while True:
    doKeepAlive()
    time.sleep(DELAY)
