How it works

Set it once.
Hear when it changes.

No scraping to maintain and no polling code. Monocrawl runs the checks and keeps the evidence.

  1. Pick what to watch

    Choose a GitHub page, feed or search from the list above and enter what to track.

  2. Set a schedule and cap

    Every 15 minutes to weekly. See the cost before you start, and cap what each monitor can spend.

  3. Get the alert

    New changes go to Slack, Discord or a webhook, with a link back to GitHub.

Before you start

GitHub monitoring,
answered.

Can I get alerts when something changes on GitHub?

Yes. A Monocrawl monitor checks GitHub on your schedule and compares each check with the last, so you hear about new releases, issues, star growth and mentions of your project rather than the same results again.

Do I need a GitHub account?

No. You do not need a GitHub token. Monitors read public repositories through your Monocrawl key.

How far back does a GitHub monitor go?

Release history is public, so the API returns every past release. A monitor reports new releases, issues and star moves from its first check onward.

How often can a GitHub monitor run, and what does it cost?

Every 15 minutes, hourly, every 6 or 12 hours, daily or weekly. Watching a repository costs 1 credit a check: about 30 credits a month daily, 720 credits hourly. Every account gets 1,000 free credits a month, and a cap on each monitor keeps spending predictable.

Do I need to write code?

No. Build a monitor in the dashboard and send alerts to Slack, Discord or a webhook. If you prefer code, monitors are also available through the API and MCP.
