Notifications

ChangeDetection.io supports a massive amount of notifications (including email, office365, custom APIs, etc) when a web-page has a change detected thanks to the apprise library. Simply set one or more notification URL's in the [edit] tab of that watch.

Just some examples

discord://webhook_id/webhook_token
flock://app_token/g:channel_id
gitter://token/room
gchat://workspace/key/token
msteams://TokenA/TokenB/TokenC/
o365://TenantID:AccountEmail/ClientID/ClientSecret/TargetEmail
rocket://user:password@hostname/#Channel
mailto://user:pass@example.com?to=receivingAddress@example.com
json://someserver.com/custom-api
syslog://

And everything else in this list!

Self-hosted web page change monitoring notifications

Now you can also customise your notification content!

JSON API Monitoring

Detect changes and monitor data in JSON API's by using the built-in JSONPath selectors as a filter / selector.

This will re-parse the JSON and apply formatting to the text, making it super easy to monitor and detect changes in JSON API results

Parse JSON embedded in HTML!

When you enable a json: filter, you can even automatically extract and parse embedded JSON inside a HTML page! Amazingly handy for sites that build content based on JSON, such as many e-commerce websites.

<html>
...
<script type="application/ld+json">
  {"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Product","name":"Nan Optipro Stage 1 Baby Formula  800g","price": 23.50 }
</script>

json:$.price would give 23.50, or you can extract the whole structure
