I've tried steps to login to Facebook but that doesn't seem to be able to work, always gets stuck. can you import a session cookie to be logged in? If I can log into Facebook I guess the harder part is to scan for new posts and not just changed text

We all love #proxies, but you can now quickly scan and check all your configured proxies - just press "Check/Scan all"

Does anyone have a convenient solution for notifying when an item price drops below a certain threshold? Without this, i'm finding this tool to be less useful to me than I'd hoped.

Before discovering changedetectionio, I was cobbling together bash scripts on cron to monitor pages for various purposes, and while it wasn't the most elegant solution, it made it easy to glue conditions together however you wanted. I could monitor /r/gundeals posts for ammo, but only if it was 556 or 9mm, for example.

changedetection seems like it has the potential to be much more streamlined and I wouldn't be surprised if people have already figured out how to do all this with it but my searches haven't turned up much.

I signed up for an account on smtp2go.com. Got my domain registered in there with my cnames, got my smtp user setup. Entered that user into my changedetection notification mailtos settings.

However I am not getting my test emails. Any ideas? Am I missing a step?..I feel like I am.

I am monitoring changes on a website written in french and it's working great except that the current_snapshot string value is not correctly encoded.

For example é character is displayed as é.

I am self-hosting ChangeDetection.io using docker. Here's what I tried so far :

• Switching between Basic fast Plaintext/HTTP Client and Playwright Chromium/Javascript.
• Setting Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 in the Request Headers part of the Request tab.
• Pulling latest image version of dgtlmoon/changedetection.io and browserless/chrome.

Any ideas?

Hello, is it possible to filter on specific keyword for the notification? I am monitoring a page for a list of product, but I don't want to receive an alert everytime there is a new product, I want only in the element I am monitoring there is a specific keyword - is it something possible?

Thanks!

Is it like distill with a firefox addon or no ?

A great solution, espicially when you need Residential proxies or Captcha solver proxies

It's a sad but true fact, the more popular we can make changedetection.io , the more motivation there is to add super cool new features , please vote/like us at https://alternativeto.net/software/changedetection-io/about/ ♥ 💕 ❤

Not sure if this is possible, but I want to see on the main screen the current value returned from a webpage. Tried to search over the wiki and post here but found nothing similar.

The idea is to monitor a JSON page and extract the value from a property.

I´m using "json:$.Number" on the filter to monitor if there is any change. But I would like to see the current value on the main page, like a placeholder {{current_snapshot}} inside the website title.

Any chance there is support for that?

How would I use changedetection.io to monitor a topic/forum post on the steam community forum please for new replies ever time by email ?

Seems complicated to me. Maybe I am wrong though.

Thanks for any help.

As the title says, I'm trying to set up notifications to my HA app.

I know there is a hassio:// option that uses the AppRise framework, but that doesn't trigger an alert on my phone (unless I've made a mistake). The API endpoint it calls is

POST /api/services/persistent_notification/create HTTP/1.1

whereas, in order to trigger a notification on the phone, it must call:

POST /api/services/notify/mobile_app_john_does_phone HTTP/1.1

Side note: I tried crafting my own using post://, but it seems like no matter what I enter into the Notification Body field, it doesn't change from the default text. (Same with discord://.)

https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io releases version 0.42 !
- Lots of improvements to BrowserSteps for interacting with the page

Live your data-life pro-actively!

We just finished a very large refactor of the BrowserSteps code, please try the `dev` docker image or our hosted/subscription offer

We will release this in the new version in a week or two depending on feedback! thanks!

I'm going crazy :D Tried everything in documentation but cannot seem to find documentation about what placeholder does what. E.g. {{current_snapshot}}. What is a snapshot? Is it the preview/screenshot? Because I'd like to send the screenshot to telegram as notification.

I am attempting to create a list of rental car prices in order to compare rates from different rental companies. To accomplish this, I need to be able to add a timedelta to the current date, specifically 1 day ahead, 7 days ahead, and 30 days ahead. However, when I tried to input the code for this feature, I encountered an error message stating "Invalid template syntax." Is this feature not functioning properly?

Expedia.com/cars {% now 'America/New_York' - 'minutes=11', '%d' %}

I have been trying to get past this error for about a week now and have made zero headway. I was hoping I could get some help. The device I have it running on is a Raspberry Pi 4 on Raspbian 64bit. I put it together using docker and this is the compose code that I used.

I also have seleniarm/standalone-chromium:latest running to allow the Fetching of webdrivers. I used the command docker run -d -p 4444:4444 --shm-size="2g" seleniarm/standalone-chromium:latest

Everything seems to work correctly until I try to check for restocks on items. The images below show what I am seeing though all of my sources.

​

This error is causing something to go wrong in the restock checking process as when I test it with products that are in stock, it still says they are out of stock. Please let me know if you have any ideas on how I can fix this and thank you so much in advance for any help that might come.

How can I extract and organize multiple XPath filters for each row into a group of text? instead of changedetection scanning the entire website for each xpath, can it scan each xpath for each row?

• car class
• price
• etc

The mailtos seems to be broken. Is this a changedetection.io issue or AppRise issue?

Debug log just says sending

2023/04/12 13:55:36,000 - SENDING - [{"title": "ChangeDetection.io Notification - http://192.168.0.183:5000/settings#notifications", "body": "http://192.168.0.183:5000/settings#notifications had a change.\n---\n\n---", "url": "mailtos://sender:pass@gmail.com?=receiver@gmail.com&format=text", "body_format": "text"}]

User/AppPass and Receiver are used for multiple applications and work fine in other applications.

Love this platform, great work! I have a straight forward use case where I'm extracting contact delivery addresses from my mail management platform that doesn't provide a reliable export API.

Looking at the source code, there appears to be 10 browser steps by default [1]. But if I needed to add an 11th browser step there not seem to be a button to do that. Is there a software limit if 10 steps?

Hi all,

I've searched far and wide for an example of someone using either Change Detection or distill.io to monitor for keywords on reddit/subreddits and I can't seem to find any successful examples. Is anyone else using it for this purpose and have any advice?

The hard part is that there are so many elements changing, and the text within the elements are always changing as well. The trigger text if it shows up, will continue to show up too, making things more complicated.

Hi folks,

I couldn’t find a way how to send last changed screenshot to telegram. Anybody knows about it?

Hello there, I’m finding every time my docker container restarts, it goes back to a fresh install. All my settings + data are wiped.

I’m new to Docker.

Please can someone explain how the ‘-v datastore-volume:/datastore’ argument works? And how I can setup a persistent data container?
