I built this to create "strategies" which find the correct selectors in the HTML for scraping jobs, and then you can re-use that strategy for different URLs on that site. You can also create schedules to check if data has changed, and if so, it will send to your webhook.
Here's a good example use case: Scraping forum data - trying to keep up to date with new responses, etc. You can configure a strategy, then a job will use that strategy on any interval and deliver webhooks to your API if the content changes and you can either re-embed or do something with the changed data.
This is a side project, so I'd love to get some feedback. It's free for now, so give it a try and give me some constructive feedback if you're open to it!
