Description
The Monitor API is a service designed to continuously monitor web changes related to a query specified by the user, delivering scheduled updates via webhook notifications.
Users can create a monitor using a natural-language query and select an update frequency (hourly, daily, or weekly). The tool is designed to automate continuous research without the need to create complex web monitoring infrastructure.
By defining a query and specifying a schedule, users can receive relevant web change alerts and concise updates with source links delivered to their systems.
Suitable use-cases include tracking news, monitoring competitors, staying updated with regulatory changes, managing watchlists for deals or research, and tracking modifications to products.
Key features include scheduled updates, notifications upon event detection or monitor completion, access to event history, and lifecycle management capabilities, which include updating frequency, webhook, or metadata, and deletion to stop future runs.
It is recommended to use webhooks instead of polling to minimize latency when receiving updates. The tool is currently in its public alpha, meaning that endpoints and request/response formats are subject to change as development continues.
