Try the Create a Website-Change Monitor API

Creates a monitor that periodically checks a page or sitemap for changes and can notify a webhook. Free to call -- only completed check runs consume credits, at 1 credit per completed run regardless of target type or whether a change was detected. `target_type` defaults to "page" (exact-fingerprint diff of the page). "sitemap" watches the sitemap at `url` for added/removed entries instead, honoring `sitemap.include_patterns`/`exclude_patterns` (shell-style globs matched against each URL's path) and `sitemap.max_urls` (default 5000, hard cap 10000).
