## Self-hosted change monitoring of web pages.
_Know when web pages change! Stay ontop of new information!_
Live your data-life *pro-actively* instead of *re-actively*, do not rely on manipulative social media for consuming important information.

#### Example use cases
Know when ...
- Government department updates (changes are often only on their websites)
- Local government news (changes are often only on their websites)
- New software releases, security advisories when you're not on their mailing list.
- Festivals with changes
- Realestate listing changes
- COVID related news from government websites
- Detect and monitor changes in JSON API responses
- API monitoring and alerting
_Need an actual Chrome runner with Javascript support? see the experimental <a href="https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/tree/javascript-browser">Javascript/Chrome support changedetection.io branch!</a>_
**Get monitoring now! super simple, one command!**
Run the python code on your own machine by cloning this repository, or with <a href="https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/">docker</a> and/or <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorial_collections/how-to-install-docker-compose">docker-compose</a>
With one docker-compose command
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
or
```bash
docker run -d --restart always -p "127.0.0.1:5000:5000" -v datastore-volume:/datastore --name changedetection.io dgtlmoon/changedetection.io
```
Now visit http://127.0.0.1:5000 , You should now be able to access the UI.
#### Updating to latest version
Highly recommended :)
```bash
docker pull dgtlmoon/changedetection.io
docker kill $(docker ps -a|grep changedetection.io|awk '{print $1}')
docker rm $(docker ps -a|grep changedetection.io|awk '{print $1}')
docker run -d --restart always -p "127.0.0.1:5000:5000" -v datastore-volume:/datastore --name changedetection.io dgtlmoon/changedetection.io
```

Please :star: star :star: this project and help it grow! https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/
### 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 <a href="https://github.com/caronc/apprise">apprise</a> 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://
<a href="https://github.com/caronc/apprise">And everything else in this list!</a>
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/master/screenshot-notifications.png" style="max-width:100%;" alt="Self-hosted web page change monitoring notifications" title="Self-hosted web page change monitoring notifications" />
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

### Proxy
A proxy for ChangeDetection.io can be configured by setting environment the
`HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY` variables, examples are also in the `docker-compose.yml`
`NO_PROXY` exclude list can be specified by following `"localhost,192.168.0.0/24"`
as `docker run` with `-e`
```
docker run -d --restart always -e HTTPS_PROXY="socks5h://10.10.1.10:1080" -p "127.0.0.1:5000:5000" -v datastore-volume:/datastore --name changedetection.io dgtlmoon/changedetection.io
```
With `docker-compose`, see the `Proxy support example` in <a href="https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/blob/master/docker-compose.yml">docker-compose.yml</a>.
For more information see https://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#proxies
This proxy support also extends to the notifications https://github.com/caronc/apprise/issues/387#issuecomment-841718867
