Get notified when a layer is added or removed to an AGOL group

Question

Hello,

I help to manage an AGOL group with >300 layers in it which forms part of a data package. At the moment it is quite hard to keep on top of managing the group in terms of keeping track of what data is being added/ removed etc.

I am looking to write a python script that will run at a set interval (bi-weekly or weekly) and check if there have been any layers added or removed. I am wondering if anyone one has attempted this before and if in theory it is possible?

The following documentation on the Developer's site might give you a few ideas.
