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.)
