NOAA Pagewatcher!

Watch your Web pages, automatically

Add a page to Pagewatcher

You can add a web page here to the list of pages that Pagewatcher will watch for you.
Pagewatcher can only be used by U.S. Government personnel.

Required: Tell us the URL of the web page you want us to watch for you:

An easy way to do this is to open a new web browser window, and copy/paste the URL here.

Required: What’s your email address? (Enter one or more addresses, separated with commas.)

This is how we will notify you when Pagewatcher notices anything you’ve asked it to look for in the page, and you must use exactly this string to delete a Pagewatcher watch.

Optional: Give us a SUBJECT tag:
You will see this in notification emails in the SUBJECT area. You can use the subject to find your requests in the “drop/review your requests” pages.

Optional: Give us a NAME:
You can group your requests using this name, and easily find them in the “drop/review your requests” pages.

What changes do you want reported?
  A page cannot be retrieved at this url (or cannot be retrieved during a reasonable wait).
  The page content changed since the last PageWatch—for continuing updates (or the day this request was submitted).
  The “Last-Modified” field of the HTTP header has changed.
  Please send me a BROKEN LINKS report for this page. (This only applies to HTML type pages. Do a one-time recursive URL test.)
  The size of the page seems to have changed by at least byte(s).
  The page takes longer than second(s) to load.
  This regular expression (or literal expression) matches (or does not match) the page contents/links (or updates*):
Rusty at REGEX? I’ve written some exmples. The matching will be case insensitive. Examples:
  • Site of the day.*?<a href=(.*?)>(.*?)</a>
  • SRC=\"?[^>]?\/comics\/dilbert\/archive.*?\.gif\"?\s+
*For continuing updates, regular (or literal) expressions must not wrap across lines of HTML source.

Page watcher will runonce a day, twice a day, four times a day, eight times a day, twelve times a day, hourly, or quarter-hourly.
