XPath, JSONPath, jq, 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.)

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:[email protected][email protected]
json://someserver.com/custom-api
syslog://

And everything else in this list!

Now you can also customise your notification content!

Detect changes and monitor data in JSON API's by using either JSONPath or jq to filter, parse, and restructure JSON as needed.

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

For more complex parsing, filtering, and modifying of JSON data, jq is recommended due to the built-in operators and functions. Refer to the documentation for more specifc information on jq.

One big advantage of jq is that you can use logic in your JSON filter, such as filters to only show items that have a value greater than/less than etc.

See the wiki https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/wiki/JSON-Selector-Filter-help for more information and examples

When you enable a json: or jq: 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 or jq:.price would give 23.50, or you can extract the whole structure

See the wiki https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/wiki/Proxy-configuration , we also support using BrightData proxy services where possible

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