Image Monitoring

Image Monitoring API

Track image changes across a page, site section, sitemap, or product collection with scheduled runs, diff history, and API retrieval.

Monitoring serviceToken APIAsync jobs

Analyze runs the actual tool flow for this page. Sync audits use the extractor job API, palette is computed from discovered assets, and screenshot mapping uses a dedicated screenshot job.

What the image monitoring api page shows

The page is structured like a product screen and a landing page at the same time: overview first, then details, export, API, FAQ, and related tools.

What changes are tracked

  • Added URLs, removed URLs, changed file hashes, changed dimensions, and OG preview changes.
  • Optional screenshot generation so visual shifts can be tied to asset changes.
  • Modes for single pages, site sections, sitemaps, product sets, and editorial sections.

Service architecture

  • Monitor jobs, scheduled runs, asset snapshots, diff history, and notification logs.
  • Token-based API access for job creation, manual runs, history retrieval, and export.
  • Designed for asynchronous execution, retries, and result polling.

Monitoring UI

  • Saved jobs, enabled state, last run, and latest diff summary.
  • Run history with added, removed, and changed asset breakdown.
  • Diff cards designed for webhook, email, and dashboard workflows.

API output

  • Structured monitor job, run, asset, and diff DTOs.
  • JSON and CSV exports for downstream automation.
  • Result shapes designed to work with paid plans, quotas, and API tokens.

Use cases

Teams that benefit from this workflow

Competitor monitoring for hero, product, or social preview changes.

QA automation on high-value sections that change daily.

Internal systems that need API retrieval of image diffs and snapshots.

Developer and API

Token-authenticated API surface

Monitoring is built as a token-authenticated async service. Create jobs, trigger runs, inspect diffs, and fetch exports with bearer tokens.

FAQ

Questions users ask before implementation

Why does monitoring need token auth?

Monitoring is not a one-off report. It needs persistent jobs, history, and account-level quotas, which is why bearer-token access is the right default.

Can monitoring trigger screenshots too?

Yes. Screenshot generation is modeled as an optional extension per monitoring run so visual context can travel with the diff.

What is stored between runs?

Job config, snapshots, detected assets, diffs, run summaries, and notification state form the core monitoring data model.
