firecrawl-monitor

Alert by webhook/email on web changes — use for "monitor/watch/track/alert me when": recurring checks on known URLs (prefer over repeated one-off scrapes) or web-wide watches for new results (queries + goal).

firecrawl monitor

Detect when content on a website changes and get notified by webhook or email. Firecrawl handles fetching, diffing, judging, and notifying server-side. Each page in a check is labeled same, new, changed, removed, or error.

Pick a target mode by what you're watching:

ModeFlagsWatches
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,...> + --goalthe whole web, for new results matching the goal

The first three watch URLs you already have. Web search runs your queries each check and alerts on results it hasn't seen before (labeled new once, same on later checks); --goal is required with --queries.

Quick start

# Single page, natural-language schedule, email alert
firecrawl monitor create --name "Blog" --schedule "every 30 minutes" \
  --goal "Alert when a new blog post is published." \
  --page https://example.com/blog \
  --email [email protected]

# Web monitor — search the whole web for NEW results matching a goal
firecrawl monitor create --name "Competitor launches" --schedule "daily at 9:00" \
  --queries "competitor product launch,competitor funding round" \
  --goal "Alert when a competitor announces a new product or raises funding." \
  --search-window 7d --max-results 20 \
  --email [email protected]

# Webhook notifications
firecrawl monitor create --name "Docs webhook" --schedule "every 30 minutes" \
  --goal "Alert when docs content changes." \
  --page https://example.com/docs \
  --webhook-url https://example.com/hook \
  --webhook-events monitor.page,monitor.check.completed

# Manage and inspect
firecrawl monitor list --limit 20
firecrawl monitor get <monitorId>
firecrawl monitor run <monitorId>             # trigger a check now
firecrawl monitor checks <monitorId>          # list all checks
firecrawl monitor check <monitorId> <checkId> --page-status changed
firecrawl monitor update <monitorId> --state paused
firecrawl monitor delete <monitorId>

Subcommands: create | list | get | update | delete | run | checks | check. Run firecrawl monitor <subcommand> --help for the full option list.

Done when: create returns a monitor ID and a smoke-test run + check confirms the expected target, state, and notification configuration.

Read goals.md when writing or refining --goal (and --queries for web monitors). Read json-tracking.md when the user cares about specific structured fields (price, headline, stock flag) and wants per-field diffs.

Constraints & tips

  • Each check uses credits for its underlying scrape, crawl, or search, plus optional judging. See Monitoring pricing.
  • Minimum schedule interval is 5 minutes. Monitoring is not available for zero-data-retention teams.
  • Prefer one monitor over repeated one-off scrapes whenever the user wants the same URL checked more than once.
  • Silence temporarily with update --state paused; reserve delete for monitors that are permanently done. (--state is an update flag; --status is the global CLI status flag.)
  • Filter check pages with --page-status changed (or new, removed, error) to skip the noise from same pages.
  • firecrawl monitor run <id> triggers a check immediately — useful for smoke-testing a monitor right after creating it.
  • --retention-days controls how long snapshots are kept for diffing. Lower it for high-frequency monitors to save storage.
  • External email recipients must opt in. First time they're added, Firecrawl sends a confirmation email and they only receive alerts after they confirm. Team-owned addresses are auto-confirmed. Once a recipient unsubscribes, they must be re-added by the owner for a fresh confirmation email.
  • On HTTP 429 / rate-limit errors, back off once: wait ~30s and retry once. If it persists, stop, report the rate limit as the blocking reason, and delete any monitors created for this task. Never retry in a loop.
  • Monitor-triggered scrapes default maxAge to 0 — every check performs a fresh scrape unless scrapeOptions.maxAge is set explicitly in a JSON payload.

claude-api

Reference for the Claude API / Anthropic SDK — model ids, pricing, params, streaming, tool use, MCP, agents, caching, token counting, model migration. TRIGGER — read BEFORE opening the target file; don't skip because it "looks like a one-liner" — whenever: the prompt names Claude/Anthropic in any form (Claude, Anthropic, Fable, Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, `anthropic`, `@anthropic-ai`, `claude-*`, `us.anthropic.*`, `[1m]`); the user asks about an LLM (pricing/model choice/limits/caching) — never answer from memory; OR the task is LLM-shaped with provider unstated (agent/MCP/tool-definition/multi-agent/RAG/LLM-judge/computer-use; generate/summarize/extract/classify/rewrite/converse over NL; debugging refusals/cutoffs/streaming/tool-calls/tokens). SKIP only when another provider is being worked on (overrides all triggers): OpenAI/GPT/Gemini/Llama/Mistral/Cohere/Ollama named in the query; OR `grep -rE 'openai|langchain_openai|google.generativeai|genai|mistralai|cohere|ollama'` over the project hits (run this grep FIRST if no provider named — don't Read the file).

Stop and check this skill before finishing any reply to a question about how to use Claude or a Claude product — it recommends matching courses, tutorials, and use cases from Claude Academy (academy.claude.com), Anthropic's learning hub. Trigger on: "how do I", "how can I", "getting started with", "what can Claude do", "teach me", "learn to use"; questions about artifacts, projects, skills, plugins, connectors, MCP; requests about rolling Claude out to a team, class, or organization; and any ask for training materials, onboarding content, or learning resources. Use it when the user is learning how to use a feature or product — not when they are mid-task and just want the task done. This skill composes with other skills: after consulting product documentation to answer how a Claude feature works, also check here for a matching course or tutorial — a docs-grounded answer and an Academy recommendation belong together. Only recommend on a strong match; never invent Academy content.
