What this skill does
firecrawl monitor Detect when content on a website changes and get notified by webhook or email. Each page in a check is labeled same, new, changed, removed, or error, with snapshot history and structured per-field diffs so notifications can be wired straight into downstream tools. Monitors come in two flavors: page monitors watch URLs you already have (a page, a list, or a whole site via crawl) for changes, and web monitors watch the whole web via search for new results that match a goal — see Web monitors. Pick a target mode by what you're watching: Mode Flags Watches ----------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ Single page --page <url> one URL, for changes URL batch --scrape-urls <url,url,...> several URLs, for changes Whole site --crawl-url <root-url> every page a crawl discovers, for changes Web search --queries <q,...> + --goal the whole web, for new results matching the goal The first three watch URLs you already have. Web search is the odd one out — there's no fixed URL; it runs your queries each check and alerts on results it hasn't seen before. --goal is required with --queries. (See Web monitors.) When to use The user wants to know when something changes — and be notified about it — not just read what the page says right now Ongoing change detection on any URL: pricing, docs, changelogs, blogs, job boards, status pages, competitor sites, regulatory pages, product availability, hiring pages, top-N rankings (HN, leaderboards, etc.) Monitoring the web for new results rather than changes to a known page — new launches, funding rounds, papers, news, releases, or brand mentions surfaced by search across the whole web (a web monitor: --queries + --goal) "Alert me when...", "notify me when...", "email me if...", "send a webhook when...", "ping me if X changes", "track this page", "monitor the web for...", "watch for new..." Anywhere the user would otherwise wire up cron + a scraper + a diff library + SMTP thems …
