Use the Basic method (default) where your watched site doesn't need Javascript to render.

The Chrome/Javascript method requires a network connection to a running WebDriver+Chrome server, set by the ENV var 'WEBDRIVER_URL'.

Tip: Connect using BrightData Proxies, find out more here.

{{ render_field(form.proxy, class="fetch-backend-proxy") }} Choose a proxy for this watch

If you're having trouble waiting for the page to be fully rendered (text missing etc), try increasing the 'wait' time here.
This will wait n seconds before extracting the text. {% if using_global_webdriver_wait %}
Using the current global default settings {% endif %}

Pro-tips:
  • Use the preview page to see your filters and triggers highlighted.
  • Some sites use JavaScript to create the content, for this you should use the Chrome/WebDriver Fetcher
{{ render_checkbox_field(form.check_unique_lines) }} Good for websites that just move the content around, and you want to know when NEW content is added, compares new lines against all history for this watch.
{% set field = render_field(form.include_filters, rows=5, placeholder="#example xpath://body/div/span[contains(@class, 'example-class')]", class="m-d") %} {{ field }} {% if '/text()' in field %} Note!: //text() function does not work where the <element> contains <![CDATA[]]>
{% endif %} One rule per line, any rules that matches will be used.
  • CSS - Limit text to this CSS rule, only text matching this CSS rule is included.
  • JSON - Limit text to this JSON rule, using either JSONPath or jq (if installed).
    • JSONPath: Prefix with json:, use json:$ to force re-formatting if required, test your JSONPath here.
      • {% if jq_support %}
    • jq: Prefix with jq: and test your jq here. Using jq allows for complex filtering and processing of JSON data with built-in functions, regex, filtering, and more. See examples and documentation here.
      • {% else %}
    • jq support not installed
      • {% endif %}
  • XPath - Limit text to this XPath rule, simply start with a forward-slash,
    • Example: //*[contains(@class, 'sametext')] or xpath://*[contains(@class, 'sametext')], test your XPath here
    • Example: Get all titles from an RSS feed //title/text()
Please be sure that you thoroughly understand how to write CSS, JSONPath, XPath{% if jq_support %}, or jq selector{%endif%} rules before filing an issue on GitHub! here for more CSS selector help.
{{ render_field(form.subtractive_selectors, rows=5, placeholder="header footer nav .stockticker") }}
  • Remove HTML element(s) by CSS selector before text conversion.
  • Add multiple elements or CSS selectors per line to ignore multiple parts of the HTML.
{{ render_field(form.ignore_text, rows=5, placeholder="Some text to ignore in a line /some.regex\d{2}/ for case-INsensitive regex ") }}
  • Each line processed separately, any line matching will be ignored (removed before creating the checksum)
  • Regular Expression support, wrap the entire line in forward slash /regex/
  • Changing this will affect the comparison checksum which may trigger an alert
  • Use the preview/show current tab to see ignores
{{ render_field(form.trigger_text, rows=5, placeholder="Some text to wait for in a line /some.regex\d{2}/ for case-INsensitive regex ") }}
  • Text to wait for before triggering a change/notification, all text and regex are tested case-insensitive.
  • Trigger text is processed from the result-text that comes out of any CSS/JSON Filters for this watch
  • Each line is processed separately (think of each line as "OR")
  • Note: Wrap in forward slash / to use regex example: /foo\d/
{{ render_field(form.text_should_not_be_present, rows=5, placeholder="For example: Out of stock Sold out Not in stock Unavailable") }}
  • Block change-detection while this text is on the page, all text and regex are tested case-insensitive, good for waiting for when a product is available again
  • Block text is processed from the result-text that comes out of any CSS/JSON Filters for this watch
  • All lines here must not exist (think of each line as "OR")
  • Note: Wrap in forward slash / to use regex example: /foo\d/
{{ render_field(form.extract_text, rows=5, placeholder="\d+ online") }}
  • Extracts text in the final output (line by line) after other filters using regular expressions;
    • Regular expression ‐ example /reports.+?2022/i
    • Use //(?aiLmsux)) type flags (more information here)
    • Keyword example ‐ example Out of stock
    • Use groups to extract just that text ‐ example /reports.+?(\d+)/i returns a list of years only
  • One line per regular-expression/ string match
{% if visualselector_enabled %} The Visual Selector tool lets you select the text elements that will be used for the change detection ‐ after the Browser Steps has completed.

Sorry, this functionality only works with Playwright/Chrome enabled watches.

Enable the Playwright Chrome fetcher, or alternatively try our very affordable subscription based service.

This is because Selenium/WebDriver can not extract full page screenshots reliably.
