A POSSIBLE BUILD DIRECTION

From prompt to prototype.

Outcode’s editorial suggestions for this idea. Adapt the scope to your skills, available data and the people you want to help.

A small first version

Save dated snapshots of one public API pricing page and show a text diff when its published tiers or limits change, with a link to the original source.

How to test it

Test against local fixtures containing changed prices, reordered cards and cosmetic edits. Respect site access rules and distinguish extraction failures from pricing changes.

A direction for a larger project

Introduce structured tier comparison and human-confirmed alerts. Evaluate how reliably it identifies currency, billing interval and quota changes without guessing missing values.
