Welcome to Spidermon's documentation!
=====================================

Spidermon is a framework to build monitors for Scrapy spiders. It offers the
following features:

* It can check the output data produced by Scrapy (or other sources) and
  verify it against a schema or model that defines the expected structure,
  data types and value restrictions. It supports data validation based on
  the jsonschema library (`<https://github.com/Julian/jsonschema>`_).
* It allows you to define conditions that should trigger an alert based on
  Scrapy stats.
* It supports notifications via email, Slack, Telegram and Discord.
* It can generate custom reports.
