ff_world_status.py

"""
This script is used to check the status of character creation on specific worlds in Final Fantasy XIV.
To get a push notification you'll need to use Pushover (https://pushover.net) and include your user
and application keys.
You'll also want to update the world_name variable with the world you'd like to watch.
This script scrapes https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/ which is where you can find
the world names.
