class `watchme.watchers.urls.``Task`(name, params=None, **kwargs)

  Bases: `watchme.tasks.TaskBase`

  `export_func`()

    this function should return the correct task (from the tasks.py in the same folder) based on some logic of the params that are given by the user (self.params). If there is only one kind of function for the task, it’s fairly easy to import and return it here. This function should take no arguments, but instead use the self.params already provided in the client.

  `required_params` = ['url']
