Improved result quality and status displays for Reader and Watchdog.
Improved Reader's content selection on some webpages where it picked related content instead of the main text. Watchdog's comparison processing was improved to reduce some cases where insignificant whitespace or formatting differences were detected as actual changes. Reader's success and partial-result statuses and Watchdog's check statuses are now more clearly distinguished, making it easier to understand the current result and the last check.
RELEASE NOTES
What changed,
and when.
A record of customer-facing improvements across the API, Dashboard, billing, and Web experience.
Explore Reader and Watchdog together.
Home and Features now explain webpage reading and change tracking together, with starting paths for each. The Docs hub links to the Reader, Watchdog, and webhook guides and official examples. Pricing presents Reader usage and Watchdog conditions separately.
Manage Watchdog and webhooks through the API.
Direct API customers can use a Workspace API key to add, view, and manage Watchdog monitors, and review webpage changes. The webhook API lets them check subscription status and delivery history, send a test webhook, and pause or resume a subscription. They can request redelivery for some failed webhooks and review delivery results for async jobs and Watchdog notifications. Create new webhook subscriptions and rotate signature-verification secrets in the Dashboard.
Watchdog is now available.
Signed-in users can monitor a public webpage every 6, 12, or 24 hours. Each Workspace includes three free monitor slots and 30 checks every 30 days, with change history, captured content and diffs, plus signed webhook notifications.
You can now try Reader without signing up.
Use 20 free trial credits to turn public webpages into Markdown. Feel free to leave feedback on the results. Once you have used your trial credits, you can create a free account to keep using Reader.
We have reorganized navigation and page layouts across the website and Dashboard to make key features and documentation easier to find. We have improved readability on mobile and in light and dark themes, and made API endpoints and partially displayed API keys easier to recognize.
Direct API customers can submit Reader, Summary, and Document jobs asynchronously, then poll their status and result. The Dashboard now provides signed completion-webhook settings and delivery history; delivery may be repeated and does not use fixed sender IPs.
New Workspaces now receive a 50-credit Starter Trial, valid for 14 days, to evaluate the available Reader and Summary features.
The new About page explains the supported Reader scope and provides support, payment, policy, and release-note links.
Codex, Cursor, and Google Antigravity users can connect to the OngsooLabs MCP server with an existing Workspace API key and use the single reader_read_url tool.
Direct API customers can now summarize web content with POST /api/v1/summary. The AI Reader guide includes request, response, credit usage, and error examples.
Signed-in users can now run Reader from the API Playground and review the result, response time, and usage without exposing an API key to the browser.
The Direct Reader REST API is now publicly available through OngsooLabs customer API keys.
Live checkout for one-time Reader credit packs is now available from the Dashboard.
The OngsooLabs customer portal is now public with Google and GitHub sign-in, Workspace access, API key management, usage, and billing views.
