Wachete Monitor Kit
Turn any agent into a change-detection operator — monitor any webpage, detect diffs, alert on changes. No API key required to start.
One skill file that makes your agent notice when the internet changes. Monitors any public URL for content changes using Wachete API or a zero-config direct HTTP fallback. Works immediately after install — no signup, no API key, just 'monitor this page.' Chains with Zyte (scrape the new content) and Xata (store the diff history).

- ▸ Works immediately with zero config — direct HTTP fallback hashes pages and detects changes
- ▸ Wachete API mode unlocks CSS selectors, change history, and email alerts
- ▸ Pipeline-ready: chains with Zyte (scrape changes) + Xata (store diff history)
- ▸ Ideal for cron jobs — monitor competitor pages, job boards, pricing automatically
Questions, answered
Do I need a Wachete account?+
No. The direct HTTP fallback works immediately — it fetches the page, hashes it, and compares against the last check. A Wachete API key unlocks advanced features (CSS selectors, 30-day history, email alerts) but basic monitoring works with zero signup.
How many pages can I monitor?+
With Wachete's free tier: 5 pages, daily checks. With direct HTTP fallback: unlimited, but respect rate limits — minimum 1 hour between checks per page. The skill enforces this automatically.
What's the pipeline with Zyte and Xata?+
The three kits chain naturally: Wachete detects a change → Zyte scrapes the new content → Xata stores it with a timestamp. One sentence: 'Monitor, scrape, and store' — three kits, one pipeline.
