Ticket Signal Watch

Monitor ticket pages or backend ticket data for sale, restock, presale, or status-change signals; emit structured alerts that can be pushed to OpenClaw channels, webhooks, or other notification backends. Use when users want reliable ticket notifications rather than automated checkout.

This skill is for reliable ticket notifications, not automated checkout.

Use it when:

• a user wants to monitor ticket sale or restock signals
• a backend already has ticket data and needs a push-ready event format
• you want OpenClaw to check official pages, search pages, or other text sources for ticket signals

Files

• Skill root: {baseDir}
• Script: {baseDir}/scripts/watch_ticket_pages.py
• Target example: {baseDir}/config/targets.example.json
• Notifier example: {baseDir}/config/notifiers.example.json
• Default state path: {baseDir}/state/state.json

Operating model

Treat the workflow as three layers:

1. collector
   • fetch page text or consume backend data
2. signal engine
   • decide whether the change is meaningful
3. notifier
   • push the resulting event to OpenClaw channels, webhooks, or another downstream system

The ideal production setup is:

• use backend data if available
• fall back to page checks only when needed
• keep collection and notification decoupled

Recommended usage

Run the script with a target config and a writable state file:

bash

python3 "{baseDir}/scripts/watch_ticket_pages.py" \
  --config "{baseDir}/config/targets.example.json" \
  --state "{baseDir}/state/state.json" \
  --json

If alerts is empty, do not send a notification.

If alerts is non-empty, forward the structured result to:

• an OpenClaw channel
• a webhook
• a file/queue processor

Output expectations

The script should produce:

• results: per-target check results
• alerts: only meaningful changes worth notifying
• summary: short human-readable summary

Each alert should contain enough information to route downstream:

• name
• platform
• url
• signal_hits
• signal_level
• alert_reasons

Configuration guidance

Prefer official detail pages over generic search pages.

Use:

• require_all for identity words that must be present
• match_any for actionable signal words
• signal_keywords.high for the strongest signals

Examples of strong signals:

• 立即购买
• 立即预订
• 可选座
• 有票
• 开售
• 预售中
• 补票
• 回流
• 加场

Guardrails

• Do not treat generic page changes as sale signals.
• Search pages are weaker than detail pages.
• Add cooldown, dedupe, and jitter before high-frequency polling.
• If a platform starts returning anti-bot pages or challenge pages, mark that explicitly instead of claiming success.
• This skill is for notification workflows; do not imply that it can safely complete checkout automatically.
