File Change Monitor

Never miss a feature update again

File Change Monitor detects changes in JavaScript files, notifying you when new API endpoints are added. This way, you can stay on top of latest changes across the web.

Hosted Version

For convenience, a hosted version is available at https://filechangemonitor.io.

Usage

After creating an account, you may add domains to monitor. Start by entering the base domain of a website. From here, File Change Monitor will scrape the site for JavaScript files and automatically begin monitoring files that have interesting content. File Change Monitor also checks for updates in filenames of dynamically-named files (i.e. application-198a3ef8943.js).
