Documented steps POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/monitor with Authorization: Bearer fc-<API_KEY> and Content-Type: application/json. Set name and a schedule object. Use cron form: {"schedule":{"cron":"7-59/15 * * * *","timezone":"UTC"}}. Define targets as an array; for a full-site crawl use {"type":"crawl","url":"https://example.com/docs"}. Control crawl behavior with crawlOptions: limit (max pages per check), maxDiscoveryDepth, maxDepth, includePaths, excludePaths. Add scrapeOptions.formats (e.g. ["markdown"]) for how each discovered page is scraped. Optionally set a webhook object with url, headers, metadata, and events for notifications. Response returns the new monitor.id; store it for later get/update/run/delete calls. Docs: https://docs.firecrawl.dev/features/monitoring-website and https://docs.firecrawl.dev/features/monitoring Official docs: https://docs.firecrawl.dev/features/monitoring-website; https://docs.firecrawl.dev/features/monitoring Known gotchas Minimum schedule interval is 5 minutes; tighter cron is rejected. Monitor-triggered crawls default scrape maxAge to 0, so each check re-scrapes pages fresh unless you set maxAge in scrapeOptions. A crawl-target monitor diffs EVERY discovered page each check (added/changed/removed), so large sites consume 1 credit per discovered page per check. Auth: Requires a Firecrawl API key passed as Authorization: Bearer fc-<KEY> on every request.
