Sistema SEETER: acompanhador de comentários de sites de acesso público

Abstract

Most websites, blogs and portals have a comments section where it is possible to give opinions about the subject, ask questions, leave compliments or criticisms, and it is in the users' interest, sometimes, to continue following the update of these comments. The SEETER system is intended to help these users by monitoring in an automated way the comments sections of the sites that have been registered in the system's database. To do this, a search was done to identify regular expressions that correspond to the comments from different sites, and Web Scraping was used to perform a constant count of the comments from the registered links. From this, a system was developed with integrated Back-End and Front-End, that is able to check and notify users each time the number of comments changes. In this way, users can register several site links in SEETER and let the system do the monitoring and notify them when new comments are posted.
