Introduction

Learn how PingChange watches websites and API specs, highlights meaningful changes, and routes alerts to your team.

PingChange helps you know what changed on the web before it surprises you. Paste a URL for a marketing page, pricing table, docs site, or an OpenAPI-style API spec. We capture snapshots on your schedule, compare them when something moves, and notify you through the channels you already use.

Who it is for

Engineering and platform teams use PingChange to catch API and schema drift before integrations break. Growth and product teams track competitors and partners when pricing or positioning shifts. Legal and compliance teams keep an eye on policies and terms without manual checking.

What you can do

  • See real changes — Side-by-side and inline views that highlight copy, layout, and structure, not just “something is different.”
  • Monitor API specs — Watch OpenAPI and similar endpoints for breaking changes, deprecations, and new fields.
  • Focus on what matters — Describe the changes you care about in plain language so alerts stay precise.
  • Watch from the right place — On paid plans, capture pages as they appear from specific regions when content varies by geography.
  • Get alerts where you work — Email, Slack, Telegram, webhooks, and automation tools so the right people see the signal.

How the docs are organized

  • Quickstart — Create your first monitor from the dashboard.
  • Workspace — API keys for RSS/MCP and optional BYOK AI providers.
  • Concepts — Short glossary: monitors, snapshots, diffs, alerts, and more.
  • Monitors — Setup, AI, regions, exports, RSS, MCP, anti-bot, and day-to-day management.
  • Channels — Connect notifications and automations.

If you are new here, start with the Quickstart, then skim Concepts when a term is unclear.
