Website Change Detection ...For clever people

Visit changedetection.io

changedetection.io is a cloud-based service that monitors web pages for content changes and notifies users when updates occur. It runs checks in hosted browsers, so there is nothing to install locally, and it can also detect when out-of-stock products become available again.

Features include element targeting with CSS/xPath rules, trigger text and ignore text filters, browser steps for actions such as searches, logins, and adding items to a cart, and restock alerts. Notifications are supported through more than 85 formats, including Slack, Discord, Telegram, Rocket.Chat, Email, Matrix, NTFY, and Office 365. Users can choose virtual proxy locations across Europe, the USA, and Tor, import URL lists, and add extra Chrome browsers for JavaScript sites. The service is the official provider of the open source changedetection.io project.

The hosted offering is packaged as a monthly subscription with a set number of URL watches, re-check intervals starting at around five minutes per runner, and one included Chrome browser, with additional browsers available as add-ons.
