Watch any web page and get told exactly what changed since the last run: the added and removed lines, a change percentage, and a status of changed, unchanged or first_run. CSS selectors narrow the watched region and ignore clocks, carousels and ad slots.
You can access the Website Change Monitor programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in API & Integrations in Apify Console.
