Watch Wiki & Documentation Pages for Silent Updates
Standards pages, open-source changelogs, API reference docs, or a wiki page you rely on — add the URL and Site Monitor watches it. When the doc changes, you get an email alert, and a natural-language summary of the update appears in your dashboard.

Updated
- New deprecation notice: legacy API keys stop working on September 1
- Token lifetime changed from 24 hours to 1 hour
- Example for the /token endpoint updated to include a 'scope' parameter
How it works
Add the URL
A changelog, an API reference page, a standards spec, a status/incident history page, or a public wiki page.
Scope to the content
Use a CSS selector on the article body to skip the navigation, breadcrumbs, and 'last edited' footer.
Get the AI summary
The AI summary in your dashboard describes what changed — 'added a deprecation timeline; removed the legacy endpoint example' — so you know if it affects you.
You choose which alerts each URL sends — downtime, content changes, slow responses — and we email you when they happen.
What you can track
- Open-source changelogs and release-notes pages
- Third-party API reference docs and rate-limit pages
- Standards and spec pages (RFCs, W3C drafts, internal specs)
- Public wiki pages and runbooks
- Raw files on GitHub (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Breaking changes rarely arrive with a warning
Docs get edited in place. A deprecation notice, a changed default, or a new rate limit often appears on the docs page before (or instead of) any email announcement.
Watching the exact page you depend on means you find out on the day it changes — not when your integration breaks.
Frequently asked questions
Can it watch pages behind a login?
No. Site Monitor fetches public URLs the same way a browser would. Pages that require a login, CAPTCHA, or paywall can't be read.
Can I watch a GitHub raw file URL?
Yes — raw.githubusercontent.com URLs work well and are a simple way to track a specific file's changes.
Will rotating ads, timestamps, or counters cause false alerts?
Not if you scope the watch. Add a CSS selector (for example #pricing or .event-list) and Site Monitor fingerprints only that element — everything else on the page is ignored. Whitespace-only changes never trigger an alert.
What is an AI change summary?
When a page changes significantly, Site Monitor uses AI to describe in plain English what was added, removed, or reworded. Summaries appear in the site's dashboard — your email alert links straight there. The Free plan includes 2 AI summaries a month; paid plans include more.
How often does Site Monitor check a page?
Free checks every hour. Paid plans check as often as every 5 minutes, and you can set the interval per URL.
Is Site Monitor free?
Yes. The Free plan covers 10 URLs checked every hour, with 2 AI change summaries a month — no credit card required. Upgrade only if you need faster checks, more URLs, or more AI summaries.
