The web changes every second. Firehose turns those changes into a feed you control.
Know the moment it happens
Firehose watches pages as they are crawled and notifies you the instant one matches — no polling, no daily digests.
Track exactly what you want
Filter by keyword, site, language, content type, and more. Combine rules for surgical precision over what reaches you.
The whole web, watched
Firehose watches the whole web for you — across millions of pages. No tabs to keep open, nothing to check by hand.
Two ways to stay ahead
Stream
“Tell me about any page on the web that matches this pattern”
Tell Firehose what you’re looking for, and it watches the whole web for you. Read matches as they come in from your dashboard, or have them sent straight to your own tools — no coding needed to get started.
Best for finding things across the whole web: brand mentions, competitor moves, news as it breaks.
URL Watch
“Tell me when these specific pages I already know about change.”
Give Firehose a list of pages you care about. It checks them on the schedule you set and shows you what changed since last time.
Best for watching pages you already care about: pricing, docs, terms, competitor landing pages.
What you can track
Track by keyword, phrase, site, language, topic, page type, how trusted the source is, and how recent it is. Combine them however you like to get exactly what you want.
