url-poller - simple endpoint polling.

Implements a readable stream that polls a URL every so often

var options = {
  url: 'http://example.com',
  query: { foo: "bar" },
  interval: 5000 // default is 60000
};

var poller = require('url-poller')(options);
poller.pipe(process.stdout);

When you've had enough, call

poller.stop();

You can also install globally and invoke the binary

url-poller poll --url http://example.com?123 --interval 5000
