Verid.dev's answer

Verid was born from a gap that I had faced while working on another product of mine that is: existing change-monitoring tools are visual-diff first and built for non-technical users, while scraping APIs are stateless one-shot tools with no scheduling or diffing. Developers who wanted "tell me when this specific field changes, via a signed webhook" had to glue together cron jobs, scrapers, and notification code themselves. Verid packages that whole pipeline, scheduled checks, structured extraction, field-level diffing, and reliable delivery into one product.

Verid.dev's answer

Verid is extraction-first, not visual-diff first. Instead of alerting when a page looks different, it extracts the exact fields you care about — with CSS, XPath, JSONPath, regex, or AI and fires only when your condition is met, like "price dropped more than 5%" or "stock changed from out to in." Changes arrive as structured JSON through signed webhooks with automatic retries, a dead-letter queue, and replay. No other change-monitoring tool combines field-level alert conditions with developer-grade webhook delivery.

Verid.dev's answer

Three reasons. First, structured output: you get JSON like {"price": 49.99, "stock": "in_stock"}, not a screenshot or an AI summary you have to parse. Second, no feature gating: every paid plan includes the full REST API, signed webhooks, Slack/Discord delivery, and all extraction methods higher tiers add capacity, not previously-withheld features, so there's no pricing surprise when you need API access or a second delivery channel. Third, reliable delivery: webhooks are HMAC-signed, retried with exponential backoff, and replayable from the dashboard.

Developers and technical teams who want change monitoring as infrastructure, an API, webhooks, and config-as-code. Second, operators who don't code: indie hackers, e-commerce founders, marketers, and researchers tracking competitor prices, job listings, stock levels, or regulatory pages through a simple URL-paste form and a templates gallery.

TypeScript end to end. Next.js and React power the dashboard and REST API, a Node.js worker fleet handles scheduled checks with BullMQ job queues on Redis, Playwright drives real headless-browser rendering for JavaScript-heavy pages, and PostgreSQL stores monitors, run history, and diffs.
