Monitor urls using c#

Question

I am developing asp.net website for url monitoring. I looked around for open source tools and none of them provide restful APIs so that they can be called from my application. Are there any open source packages that I can directly use?

Thanks.

Answer 2

You want to check the content of the URLs right?

No service will have a restful API since they will be local packages.

If you want to get the website/service content and check sometime in it, try .Net Frameworks HttpClient or System.Net.WebRequest.

For easier parsing you can use HtmlAgilityPack.
