Simple python function for triggering IFTTT.com maker event. Need to import requests to use and setup event_name and token on the IFTTT.com

triggerIFTTT.py

import requests

def triggerIFTTT(triggerName, token):
    ''' Function for triggering events on IFTTT.com
        Users must provide a name of the event and a token.
    '''
    assert isinstance(triggerName, str), "var triggerName should be a string"
    assert isinstance(token, str), "var token should be a string"

    # Generate url to trigger event
    urlToReqt = "https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/" + \
        triggerName + "/with/key/" + token

    # Make request that will trigger IFTTT.com
    requests.post(urlToReqt)
    
# To use: setup your trigger event key on IFTTT.com, get a token and then run something like
triggerIFTTT(<event_name>, <IFTTT_token>)
