Only show URL, but not details, when a change is reported #694

I am looking to just send the URL when the content changed. I am trying to us URL watch but I am getting all the list of contents which are getting changed ?

Is there a way just to get the URL which got changed ?

I am using email service and Prowl to send notifications. If I send all the content which changed then it fails due length issues. Will wdiff help me with this ?

If you are using plaintext mail, the report / text / details setting can be set to false to avoid details and report just a summary. You can also set report / text / footer to false to make the report even shorter.

If you remove the name from the job, just leaving the url, then it's even shorter. Starting with urlwatch 2.24, you can set user_visible_url to customize what's visible (e.g. watching a REST API endpoint, but wanting to show the "web-visible" URL in the report).

urlwatch --edit-config, set those:

...
report:
  ...
  email:
    html: false
    ...
  text:
    details: false
    footer: false
    ...
