Visual Change Detection

The Visual Change Detection feature provides a universal solution to the challenges of web monitoring, especially at a time when visual content dominates.

Features

This method is especially effective for websites that dynamically render text via JavaScript, which traditional text-based change detection tools might miss.

Daily Visual Snapshots

Every day, ScrapX captures a screenshot of your selected websites, ensuring you have a visual record of every change, no matter how minor.
Change Highlights

When a difference is detected, ScrapX alerts you with a notification pinpointing the exact area of alteration, saving you from the hassle of searching for changes manually.
Bypass Captchas

ScrapX's advanced feature set includes the ability to bypass captchas, allowing it to scrape websites protected by stringent measures, including those guarded by Cloudflare. This expands your monitoring capabilities to platforms like Amazon, Etsy, and other heavily fortified websites.
Cookie Banner Handling

ScrapX automatically closes cookie consent banners to avoid having annoying banners in screenshots. If this does not work, a CSS selector that leads to a closing button can also be defined.
Slider Comparison Tool

With an intuitive slider feature in ScrapX, you can take a closer look at the changes and seamlessly blend between the latest capture and its previous one for a clear, instant visual comparison.
Customizable Notifications

Set up alerts your way—receive change notifications through email or webhook, focusing solely on the updates that interest you. [Learn more]
