Take full advantage of pagecrawl.io’s API and webhooks—available on all paid plans—to integrate page monitoring seamlessly into your workflows.

With pagecrawl.io’s API and webhook features, you can automate monitoring tasks, create new pages to track, retrieve change history, and send real-time updates directly to your favorite tools and platforms. These options provide powerful flexibility for teams that need up-to-date data and custom workflows.

Key Uses for the API

1. Creating New Monitored Pages
   Use the API to programmatically add new pages for tracking. This is especially useful for large-scale projects where new pages are frequently added or if your system dynamically generates pages to monitor.

2. Retrieving Change History
   Access the full change history of monitored pages via the API. This feature allows you to pull historical data on changes, enabling in-depth analysis and comparison over time—a valuable tool for SEO, competitive analysis, or content management.

3. Custom Dashboards and Reports
   Pull data directly from pagecrawl.io into your custom dashboards, reporting tools, or data visualization platforms like Power BI or Tableau. This setup enables you to create real-time updates, monitor page changes, and visualize trends without manual data handling.

4. Automated Data Retrieval and Analysis
   Automate data pulls on monitored pages and their changes, saving time and ensuring the latest information is always available. This is ideal for developers and analysts who need real-time data access for ongoing analysis or reporting.

5. Integration with CRM and Business Systems
   Connect pagecrawl.io with your CRM, ERP, or other business applications to sync page updates with existing business data. For example, tracking client or competitor pages can help sales and account management teams stay informed on relevant updates.

Key Uses for Webhooks

1. Instant Alerts on Change Detection
   Webhooks provide immediate alerts whenever a monitored page changes, allowing you to push updates instantly to platforms like Slack, Microsoft Teams, or project management tools. This is ideal for time-sensitive monitoring where immediate action is required.

2. Automated Task Creation
   Link webhooks to task management tools like Asana, Trello, or Monday.com to automatically create tasks whenever a page is updated. This approach keeps your team on top of required actions, making it easy to assign and track follow-up tasks based on detected changes.

3. Sync with Marketing and Social Media Tools
   Use webhooks to push updates to marketing automation or social media management platforms, like Buffer or HubSpot, alerting teams about competitor updates, content releases, or industry news.

4. Database or CMS Integration
   Configure webhooks to update your CMS or database each time a monitored page changes. This is particularly useful for content teams who need to keep internal resources up-to-date without manual intervention, ensuring your system always has the latest data.
