Continuous evidence

One capture proves a moment. A series proves a story.

Scheduled monitoring captures a public web page automatically — daily or weekly, at the time you choose. Every run produces a full forensic proof with an eIDAS qualified timestamp, building an unbroken evidence series over time.

How scheduled monitoring works

1

Create a monitor

Enter the URL, choose daily or weekly frequency and the capture time. A test capture runs immediately — if the page can't be monitored, you know within a minute, not after a week of silence.

2

Captures run automatically

At your chosen time, our capture engine records the page: full-page screenshot, HTML, HAR, and metadata — the same forensic pipeline as every manual proof.

3

Every capture is sealed

Each run produces a complete Evidence ZIP with SHA-256 manifest, append-only hash chain, eIDAS qualified timestamp from an EU-accredited QTSP, and a Bitcoin anchor.

4

You're notified of changes

When the captured content differs from the previous run, you get an email with a link to the new proof. The capture happens either way — notification is an aid, not the evidence.

The evidence series is the point

A single screenshot proves what a page looked like at one moment. It cannot answer the question a court or regulator actually asks: what was published on that page over time — and when did it change?

A scheduled series answers it directly: a sealed, independently verifiable snapshot exists for every scheduled day. When the content changes between two captures, you hold the before and the after — each with its own qualified timestamp.

Every capture in the series includes

  • Full-page screenshot and complete page HTML
  • SHA-256 manifest and append-only hash chain
  • eIDAS Art. 42 qualified timestamp (EU-accredited QTSP)
  • Bitcoin OpenTimestamps anchor — verifiable forever

What people monitor

Competitor terms, claims and pricing

Track a competitor's terms of service, product claims or pricing page. If a dispute over unfair competition or misleading claims arises, you hold a dated series showing exactly what was published and when it changed.

Suspicious e-shops and scam listings

Fraudulent shops change prices, seller identities and claims frequently — and disappear. A daily series preserves the evolution of the listing as admissible evidence, even after the site is gone.

Defamatory articles and reviews

Defamatory content gets silently edited once lawyers get involved. Continuous captures document the original wording and every subsequent change, with qualified timestamps for each state.

Your own published content

Regulated businesses need to prove what their own site said on a given date — disclosures, terms, consent flows. A scheduled series is a self-maintaining compliance record.

Honest limits, stated up front

Forensic tools earn trust by being precise about what they do and don't do. Three things you should know before you rely on monitoring:

  • ·Monitoring works for publicly accessible pages (server capture). Whether a specific page can be monitored is verified automatically when you create the monitor — the first capture runs immediately. Pages behind a login can be captured individually with our browser extension.
  • ·The evidence is the capture series itself. Between two scheduled captures there is no continuous recording — a change that appears and disappears between runs will not be recorded. Choose daily frequency for volatile pages.
  • ·Change notifications are a convenience layer, not evidence. The scheduled capture runs regardless of whether anything changed; the notification only tells you a new state was recorded.

Frequently asked questions

What is scheduled website monitoring?

It is an automatic service that captures a public web page at a fixed schedule — daily or weekly, at a time you choose. Every capture produces a complete forensic Evidence ZIP with an eIDAS qualified timestamp, identical to a manually created proof.

Does monitoring work for pages behind a login?

No. Scheduled monitoring runs on our servers without your browser session, so it covers publicly accessible pages only. Pages that require authentication can be captured individually using the GetProofAnchor browser extension. Whether a page can be monitored is verified automatically when you create the monitor.

What happens when the monitored page changes?

The scheduled capture runs as always and seals the new state as a full proof. If the captured content differs from the previous run, you additionally receive an email notification with a link to the new proof — so you hold both the before and the after, each with its own qualified timestamp.

Is each scheduled capture court-admissible evidence?

Each capture is a complete Evidence ZIP: SHA-256 manifest, append-only hash chain, an eIDAS Article 42 qualified timestamp from an EU-accredited trust service provider, and a Bitcoin anchor. It can be verified independently of GetProofAnchor with the open-source gpa-verify tool. Admissibility is always decided by the court, but the capture carries the strongest technical guarantees available under EU law.

What if the website starts blocking automated access?

If captures fail repeatedly, the monitor is paused automatically and you are notified — no silent gaps, no wasted quota. All evidence captured up to that point remains fully valid, and you can still capture the page manually with the browser extension.

How is this different from the Wayback Machine or web archiving?

Public archives capture pages on their own irregular schedule, offer no qualified timestamps, and their snapshots face authenticity challenges in court. GetProofAnchor monitoring captures on your schedule and seals every snapshot with an eIDAS qualified timestamp and cryptographic chain of custody, producing evidence designed for legal proceedings rather than general archiving.
