Filters
XPath, JSONPath and CSS support comes baked in! You can be as specific as you need, use XPath exported from various XPath element query creation tools.
(We support LXML re:test
, re:math
and re:replace
.)
Notifications
ChangeDetection.io supports a massive amount of notifications (including email, office365, custom APIs, etc) when a web-page has a change detected thanks to the apprise library. Simply set one or more notification URL's in the [edit] tab of that watch.
Just some examples
discord://webhook_id/webhook_token
flock://app_token/g:channel_id
gitter://token/room
gchat://workspace/key/token
msteams://TokenA/TokenB/TokenC/
o365://TenantID:AccountEmail/ClientID/ClientSecret/TargetEmail
rocket://user:password@hostname/#Channel
mailto://user:pass@example.com?to=receivingAddress@example.com
json://someserver.com/custom-api
syslog://
And everything else in this list!
Now you can also customise your notification content!
JSON API Monitoring
Detect changes and monitor data in JSON API's by using the built-in JSONPath selectors as a filter / selector.
This will re-parse the JSON and apply formatting to the text, making it super easy to monitor and detect changes in JSON API results
Parse JSON embedded in HTML!
When you enable a json:
filter, you can even automatically extract and parse embedded JSON inside a HTML page! Amazingly handy for sites that build content based on JSON, such as many e-commerce websites.
<html>
...
<script type="application/ld+json">
{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Product","name":"Nan Optipro Stage 1 Baby Formula 800g","price": 23.50 }
</script>
json:$.price
would give 23.50
, or you can extract the whole structure
Proxy configuration
See the wiki https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/wiki/Proxy-configuration

Raspberry Pi and linux/arm/v6 linux/arm/v7 arm64 devices are supported! See the wiki for details
