# Web-scale /monitor

Always-on search across the entire web: define a query and goal, and get pinged or webhooked the moment something relevant comes online.

- Published: July 1, 2026

Web-scale `/monitor` watches the entire web for you. Define search queries and a goal, and Firecrawl pings you or your agent the moment something new comes online.

### Highlights

* **Always-on web search**: Give `/monitor` search queries and a `goal`, and it searches the entire web on your schedule, alerting you when something new matches.
* **Tune recall and precision**: `queries` control what each search pulls in, while `goal` decides which of those results actually alert.
* **Webhook or email delivery**: Get pinged the moment something new matches, with a plain-English explanation of why it matters.
* **One endpoint replaces the DIY stack**: Define your query once. Firecrawl handles the search, deduplication, filtering, and alerts.
