Announcing Monitors: Watch Any Website for Changes

Context.dev has launched Monitors in beta, a feature that automatically tracks website changes, eliminating the need for manual monitoring. Users can set up Monitors to keep an eye on individual pages, entire sites, or sitemaps, with checks occurring as frequently as every 10 minutes, and receive detailed records or webhooks when changes are detected. The tool is designed to simplify the process of tracking website updates, which many users previously managed through custom solutions using Context.dev's scraping and extraction APIs. Monitors provide three types of monitoring: page monitors for exact content changes, sitemap monitors for URL additions or removals, and extract monitors for semantically meaningful changes, each with a confidence score. The service is integrated with data pipelines and supports HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks for secure delivery verification. While creating and managing monitors is free, credits are charged based on the type and frequency of monitoring, with different plans offering varying numbers of included monitors. An AI generator assists in configuring monitors, and user feedback is encouraged to improve the service during its beta phase.
