Watcher2 is an automated file monitoring service that tracks changes to your online files (JSON, XML, HTML, CSS, JS, TXT) and sends you instant notifications when they change. It's perfect for monitoring APIs, configuration files, web content, and more.
You add the URL of the file you want to monitor. Watcher2 checks it at your chosen interval (5-60 seconds depending on your plan), compares it using SHA256 hashing, and notifies you via email when changes are detected. Every version is automatically saved to your account for comparison.
