The monitoring API behind Watchtower.

Same engine, programmatic. Watch recalls, settlements, and vendor reputation for any product or brand — poll it or wire it to a webhook.

1 · Mint a free key

curl -X POST https://watch.dropwatchhq.com/api/bizkey \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email":"you@company.com"}'

2 · Monitor anything

Types: product (recalls), settlement, vendor (reputation), restock.

curl "https://watch.dropwatchhq.com/api/monitor?type=product&query=owlet&key=YOUR_KEY"

# response
{ "ok": true, "tier": "free", "type": "product", "query": "owlet",
  "result": { "ok": true, "state": "...", "hits": [ /* matching recalls */ ],
              "summary": "N recall(s) on record" } }

3 · Ad-hoc check (no key)

Try the engine without a key — rate-limited, great for a quick lookup:

curl "https://watch.dropwatchhq.com/api/check?type=settlement&query=data+breach"

Tiers

Free key for evaluation. Production volume, webhook push on change, and SLA are Business tier — see pricing. The webhook pattern mirrors our recall API: register a URL and we POST on each detected change.
