Full changelog
Added
Watch Mode
Monitor any URL for content changes with automatic diffing:
# Check every 5 minutes
webclaw https://example.com/pricing --watch --watch-interval 300
# Run a script when changes are detected
webclaw https://example.com --watch --on-change "./notify.sh"
# With proxy rotation to avoid rate limits
webclaw https://example.com --watch --proxy-file proxies.txt
Outputs unified diffs to stdout. Status messages to stderr. Ctrl+C stops cleanly.
Webhook Notifications
POST JSON payloads on crawl/batch complete and watch changes:
# Discord
webclaw https://example.com --crawl --webhook "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/..."
# Slack
webclaw https://example.com --watch --webhook "https://hooks.slack.com/..."
# Any endpoint
webclaw https://example.com --crawl --webhook "https://your-api.com/hook"
Auto-detects Discord and Slack URLs and formats payloads as embeds/blocks. Generic endpoints receive raw JSON.
Also available via WEBCLAW_WEBHOOK_URL env var.
