Change Detection

Connects to a self-hosted changedetection.io instance and lists watched URLs alongside the last time a change was detected.

Configuration

{
  id: "my-change-detection",
  type: "change-detection",

  config: {
    title: "Change Detection",
    url: "http://changedetection.local:5000",
    limit: 10,
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
}

Options

Field	Type	Default	Description
title	string	"Change Detection"	Card heading.
url	string	—	Base URL of your changedetection.io instance (no trailing slash).
limit	number	10	Maximum rows to display. Hard cap of 50.
apiKey	string	—	API key from your changedetection.io instance.

Credentials

apiKey — found in your changedetection.io instance under Settings > API.
