Hi all :) It's a been a while and I've been super busy, but here's another super nice release (thanks for the feedback!), support for xPath2.0/3.0 means you can use logic in your selectors (for example, give the count of the number of divs that contain certain text, and much more). UI improvements, Selectable browser (plug it into Bright Data's scraping browser!) and more, check it out! Much ❤ from the changedetection team. https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io / changedetection.io

Can this be used track prices of specific Amazon product pages? I ask because Amazon has sophisticated anti-scraping shit built in.

CamelCamelCamel might be a better option for that specific use case, but for everything else, this tool is amazing. Been using it for years.
