trying to send data from one script in python to another script

I am trying to write a script so when an IP address can’t be seen a message gets sent with a telegram letting me know which computer is offline

I have been able to get the telegram side working but i have not been able to pass the data from the main script where it is testing the ip address , at the moment i have test data in there but i would like it to send the error with the computer name

main.py

Method 1

You code worked with a slight change, sendMessage require a POST request, not a GET request.

def send_message(text):
    global alert
    global message
    print ("this is text messsage" + " " + text)
    alert = text
    print("Sending ALERT ...")
    token = "token"
    chat_id = "chat_id"
    print("test message" + " " + alert)

    url_req = f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{token}/sendMessage?chat_id={chat_id}&text={alert}"

    print(url_req)
    results = requests.post(url_req) # this request is a post, not a get
    print(results.json())
    # text = "my name" + text
