## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability scrapegraphai-monitor-45acb883 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Set up a ScrapeGraphAI monitor to check https://example.com/pricing every 24 hours and notify me whenever the content changes.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need ongoing, recurring surveillance of a URL rather than a one-time scrape. Prefer it over Scrape or Extract when the goal is to detect when content changes over time — e.g. price changes, new articles, updated terms, or competitor announcements — rather than fetching the current state once.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error and no monitor is created
- Unsupported polling interval value returns a validation error
- Rate limit or quota exceeded returns a 429 error
- Authentication failure returns a 401 unauthorized error
- Webhook/callback URL unreachable may silently fail to deliver notifications

## How this service works

Create a monitor to track changes on a URL at a given interval.

## Output

Returns a monitor object containing a monitor ID, the target URL, the configured polling interval, creation timestamp, and current status — which the agent can reference to retrieve change events or cancel the monitor later.
