Checks if some API endpoint's response has changed. Works by creating and storing a JSON schema from the endpoint's response and using it to validate the next response. Depending on the configuration, the stored JSON schema can be updated every time the response changes.

You can choose from:
You can start API Response Watcher with the Apify API by sending an HTTP POST request to the Run Actor endpoint. An Actor’s input and its content type can be passed as a payload of the POST request, and additional options can be specified using URL query parameters.
