SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables developers to integrate and operate Parallel's Monitor API to continuously track changes on the web.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create and manage monitors (cadence, query, and optional webhooks) to automate web research.
  • Retrieve events and event groups to understand detections, completions, and errors over time.
  • Test and debug integrations using the simulate_event workflow and webhook payloads.

Quick Start

Use the Monitor API to create a monitor by POSTing to /v1alpha/monitors with a sample query and cadence, attach a webhook to receive updates, and validate functionality with simulate_event.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a web monitoring API endpoint to track changes continuously?▼

To create a web monitoring API endpoint, you POST to /v1alpha/monitors with a query and cadence. This creates a monitor that continuously tracks web changes and can optionally send webhook updates.

How does webhook testing work for web change monitoring integrations?▼

Webhook testing for web change monitoring works by using the simulate_event workflow. This workflow sends test webhook payloads to your endpoint, allowing you to validate and debug your integration before deploying live monitors.

Can I retrieve grouped events from a REST API to analyze monitoring detections over time?▼

Yes, you can retrieve grouped events from the REST API to analyze monitoring detections over time. The API provides event retrieval and event groups that capture detections, completions, and errors for analytics use cases.

What is monitor cadence configuration and when do I need it for automated web research?▼

Monitor cadence configuration defines the frequency at which automated web research runs. You need cadence configuration when setting up monitors via the REST API to ensure web changes are tracked at appropriate intervals.

Does the Monitor API support alerting and analytics use cases for software engineers?▼

Yes, the Monitor API supports alerting and analytics use cases for software engineers. It provides structured outputs, event retrieval, and webhook management to build applications that monitor web changes and react to detected events.
