Recall Watch

Turn public recall and safety alert pages into short, actionable alerts.

Why it matters

Most recall pages are noisy, fragmented, and hard to watch manually. This Actor trims the noise and surfaces the bits that matter fast.

What it does

• watches one or more public recall / safety alert URLs
• extracts readable page text
• keeps the last snapshot for comparison
• highlights likely relevant lines using keywords
• sends optional webhook alerts when a page changes

Best for

• compliance teams
• brand and product ops
• retailers and distributors
• small teams that need recall visibility without babysitting pages

Why it wins

• short, actionable diffs instead of raw page-change noise
• tuned specifically for recall and safety alert pages
• webhook-friendly output
• can be narrowed to a brand or category list

Input

• urls — required list of public recall or safety alert URLs, or leave empty and use presets
• sourcePresets — optional official presets for cpsc, fda, usda, nhtsa
• keywords — optional brand, product, or category filters
• excludeKeywords — optional filters to cut noise
• monitorMode — keep snapshots and compare against the next run
• dryRun — skip state writes and webhooks
• webhookUrl — optional alert destination
• webhookFormat — generic, slack, or discord
• maxItemsPerPage — cap extracted hits per source
• minLineLength — ignore very short lines
• userAgent — custom fetch user agent

Output

Each dataset item contains:

• URL
• page title
• baseline / changed flags
• change score
• current and previous hashes
• matched keywords
• added / removed lines
• short preview

Competition

• generic page monitors
• recall email lists
• broad consumer safety alert pages

Pricing

• launch pricing: $0.49 per monitored page snapshot
• effective from: 2026-07-18
• billing model: pay per event via default dataset items
• primary event: Monitored page
• rationale: priced as a narrow recall monitor, not a generic crawler

MVP scope

This Actor is intentionally narrow:

• no login-heavy portals in v1
• no claims / refunds workflow
• no dashboard UI
• no enterprise case management
• no broad web monitoring platform
