Parallel

Parallel Monitor API

The Monitor API watches the web for material changes on a fixed frequency. Each monitor runs once on creation and then on its configured schedule, emitting events when meaningful changes are detected. - `event_stream` monitors track a search query and emit an event for each new material change. - `snapshot` monitors track a specific task run's output and emit an event when the output changes. Results can be polled via the events endpoint or delivered via webhooks.
