## Documentation

### Web Monitor Pro

Watch any web page. Know when it changes.

### Quick Start

python3 scripts/monitor.py quickstart                        # shows suggestions + engine status
python3 scripts/monitor.py watch "https://example.com/product"
python3 scripts/monitor.py check

### First Run

Use quickstart on first run. It:

Creates the data directory
Checks which fetch engines are available (curl, cloudscraper, playwright)
Returns suggestions for popular monitoring scenarios (price drops, restocks, page changes, sales)
Lists available templates
Shows tips for missing engines

The agent can use this info to ask the user what they want to monitor and set it up for them.

### What It Does

Monitors web pages for content changes, price drops, and restocks
Smart change summaries ("Price dropped from $389 to $331, 15% off")
Visual side-by-side diffs showing exactly what changed
Price history tracking with trends and sparklines
Price comparison across multiple stores
Templates for common setups (price drop, restock, sale)
JS rendering via Playwright for dynamic sites
Webhooks to Slack, Discord, or any endpoint
Groups, notes, snapshots, exports
No API keys. Data in ~/.web-monitor/. Uses curl by default.

### Smart Watch

The easiest way to start. Point it at a URL and it figures out the rest.

python3 scripts/monitor.py watch "https://example.com/product"

It detects whether it's a product page (sets up price monitoring), a stock page (watches availability), or a regular page (tracks content). No flags needed.

Add options if you want more control:

python3 scripts/monitor.py watch "https://example.com" --group wishlist
python3 scripts/monitor.py watch "https://example.com" --browser --webhook "https://hooks.slack.com/..."

### Adding Monitors

When you want full control, use add:

python3 scripts/monitor.py add "https://example.com/product" \\
  --label "Cool Gadget" \\
  --condition "price below 500" \\
  --interval 360 \\
  --group "wishlist" \\
  --priority high \\
  --target 3000 \\
  --browser \\
  --webhook "https://hooks.slack.com/..."

All options (work with both add and watch):

--label/-l name for the monitor
--selector/-s CSS selector to focus on (#price, .stock-status)
--condition/-c when to alert (see Condition Syntax below)
--interval/-i check interval in minutes (default: 360)
--group/-g category name ("wishlist", "work")
--priority/-p high, medium, or low (default: medium)
--target/-t price target number
--browser/-b use Playwright for JS-rendered pages
--webhook/-w webhook URL, repeatable for multiple endpoints

### Checking Monitors

python3 scripts/monitor.py check                # check all
python3 scripts/monitor.py check --id 3          # check one
python3 scripts/monitor.py check --verbose       # include content preview

Returns status (changed/unchanged), condition info, price data, and a human-readable change summary. Examples of what summaries look like:

"Price dropped from $389 to $331 (15% off). Lowest price in 30 days."
"Back in stock! Was out of stock for 3 days."
"New content: 'Breaking news: AI model achieves...'"

When changes are detected, an HTML diff is auto-generated. The path appears in the diff_path field.

### Dashboard

Everything at a glance.

python3 scripts/monitor.py dashboard
python3 scripts/monitor.py dashboard --whatsapp

Shows status icons, last check time, days monitored, current prices, target progress, and browser/webhook config. Groups monitors by category.

### Price Trends

python3 scripts/monitor.py trend 3
python3 scripts/monitor.py trend 3 --days 30

Shows direction (rising/dropping/stable), min/max/avg with dates, target progress, and a sparkline.

### Price Comparison

Compare prices across stores in a group:

python3 scripts/monitor.py compare mygroup
python3 scripts/monitor.py compare --all

Shows cheapest to most expensive, price history, and the best deal as a percentage below average.

Add a competitor to an existing monitor:

python3 scripts/monitor.py add-competitor 3 "https://competitor.com/same-product"

Creates a new monitor in the same group with the same condition.

### Templates

Pre-built setups for common patterns. Skip the manual config.

python3 scripts/monitor.py template list
python3 scripts/monitor.py template use price-drop "https://example.com/product"
python3 scripts/monitor.py template use restock "https://example.com/product"
python3 scripts/monitor.py template use sale "https://example.com/deals"

Available templates:

price-drop watches for price decreases, snapshots current price as baseline
restock looks for "in stock", "available", "add to cart"
content-update tracks page changes with smart diff
sale watches for "sale", "discount", "% off"
new-release watches for new items or versions

Each one pre-configures the condition, interval, and priority.

### Managing Monitors

python3 scripts/monitor.py list                    # all monitors
python3 scripts/monitor.py list --group wishlist   # filter by group
python3 scripts/monitor.py pause 3                 # skip during checks
python3 scripts/monitor.py resume 3                # re-enable
python3 scripts/monitor.py remove 3                # delete

### Notes and Snapshots

Attach notes to any monitor:

python3 scripts/monitor.py note 3 "waiting for Black Friday"
python3 scripts/monitor.py notes 3

Take a manual snapshot:

python3 scripts/monitor.py snapshot 3
python3 scripts/monitor.py snapshot 3 --note "price before sale"

View history:

python3 scripts/monitor.py history 3
python3 scripts/monitor.py history 3 --limit 10

### Visual Diffs

Side-by-side HTML comparison. Old on the left, new on the right. Green for additions, red for removals, yellow for changes.

python3 scripts/monitor.py diff 3
python3 scripts/monitor.py screenshot 3

diff generates the comparison and opens it in your browser. screenshot saves the current content for future diffing.

### Reports

Weekly summary, formatted for WhatsApp:

python3 scripts/monitor.py report

### Groups

python3 scripts/monitor.py groups

Lists all groups with monitor counts.

### Engines and Cloudflare Support

The monitor uses a fetch engine to grab page content. By default (--engine auto), it tries engines in order until one works:

curl -- fast, no dependencies, works on most sites
cloudscraper -- handles Cloudflare JS challenges without a full browser
playwright -- full headless browser for JS-heavy SPAs

Check what's available on your system:

python3 scripts/monitor.py engines

Force a specific engine:

python3 scripts/monitor.py watch "https://example.com" --engine cloudscraper
python3 scripts/monitor.py add "https://example.com" --engine browser

Install cloudscraper (recommended for Cloudflare-protected e-commerce sites):

pip3 install cloudscraper

The engine preference is saved per monitor. You can mix engines across monitors.

### JS Rendering

Sites like Amazon, Best Buy, and most SPAs load content with JavaScript. Default curl fetching won't see it. Add --browser to use Playwright's headless Chromium:

python3 scripts/monitor.py watch "https://amazon.com/dp/B0EXAMPLE" --browser

If Playwright isn't installed, it falls back to curl and warns you. Install with:

pip3 install playwright && python3 -m playwright install chromium

### Webhooks

Fire a JSON POST when conditions are met or content changes:

python3 scripts/monitor.py add "https://example.com" --webhook "https://hooks.slack.com/services/..."

Use --webhook multiple times for multiple endpoints. The payload includes monitor_id, label, url, event details (status, condition_met, change_summary, current_price), and timestamp.

Webhooks fire during check whenever something triggers.

### Export and Import

python3 scripts/monitor.py export > monitors.json
python3 scripts/monitor.py import monitors.json

Import skips duplicates by URL.

### GUI Console

python3 scripts/monitor.py gui

Opens ~/.web-monitor/console.html in your browser. Single self-contained HTML file. Shows all monitors, price trends, alert history, groups, and templates. Dark/light mode, filtering, sorting, sparklines. No external dependencies.

Add --no-open to generate without launching.

### Condition Syntax

price below 500 or price < 500 alerts when price drops below threshold
price above 1000 or price > 1000 alerts when price exceeds threshold
contains 'in stock' alerts when text appears on page
not contains 'out of stock' alerts when text disappears

### Priority Levels

high fires an immediate alert
medium is the default
low gets batched into digests

### Automation with Cron

Set up a cron job to check monitors regularly:

Task: Check all web monitors. Run: python3 <skill_dir>/scripts/monitor.py check
Report any monitors where status is "changed" or "condition_met" is true.
If nothing changed, stay silent.

Recommended schedule: every 6 hours (0 */6 * * *). For weekly reports, run report on Mondays.

### Feedback

python3 scripts/monitor.py feedback "your message"
python3 scripts/monitor.py feedback --bug "something broke"
python3 scripts/monitor.py feedback --idea "wouldn't it be cool if..."
python3 scripts/monitor.py debug

### Tips

watch is almost always the right starting point. Use add only when you need specific conditions.
--selector reduces noise. If you only care about the price, point it at #price instead of the whole page.
Group related monitors, then use compare to find the best deal across stores.
Up to 50 snapshots per monitor are kept. Content is capped at 10KB per snapshot.
Price targets show progress in both dashboard and check output.
snapshot --note before a sale event gives you a clean baseline to diff against.
For JS-heavy sites, --browser is not optional. It's required.
Combine webhooks with Slack or Discord for real-time alerts without polling.
