Hello! For changedetection.io there is setup instruction with PIP install: https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/wiki/Microsoft-Windows What is your use case?

@xyro Thanks for sharing your case! I’ve also tested changedetection.io — it’s a great tool for basic site monitoring.
But in my tests, it doesn’t go beyond the surface. If there’s a page with multiple document links, it’ll detect changes in the list (via diff), but it won’t automatically download and analyze the new documents themselves.
Here’s how I’ve approached this:
P.S. If it helps, I can create a YAML template tailored to your grant-tracking case and run a quick test.
@xyro Ah, I see! I’m not using Ollama at the moment — my setup is based on GPT4All with a locally hosted DeepSeek model, which handles the semantic parsing directly.
As mentioned earlier, the pipeline doesn’t just diff pages — it detects new document URLs from the source feed (via selectors), downloads them, and generates structured summaries. Here's a snippet from the YAML config to illustrate how that works:
To keep things efficient, I also support regex-based extraction before passing content to the LLM. That way, I can isolate relevant blocks (e.g. addresses, client names, conclusions) and reduce the noise in the prompt. Example from another config:
Let me know if you're experimenting with similar flows — I’d be happy to share templates or compare how DeepSeek performs on your sources!
