Watch any list of web pages on a schedule. Every run returns one row per page and, when a page changed, a row with the added and removed lines, a similarity score and your keyword hits. Title, links and status too. Optional webhook. No browser, no API key, no per-site setup.
You can access the Website Change Monitor — Page Diffs, Alerts & Webhooks programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below.
