 | `/price url [name] [hours] [drop] [baseline] [near]` | registered | A price (docket's `price`, a `poll` schedule every `hours`, default 12, at most 168). `url` may be any public web page (Page reads, under What it does), eBay's and BGG's included, or a link that redirects to one; only the want-list watcher refuses eBay. The page is read once at once, and nothing is created unless a price is found in it; then the first check, within a minute, DMs the starting price, and a drop of `drop` percent or more (default 10) from the `baseline` -- the last (default), first or highest price seen -- DMs the owner once per crossing. `near` is the words just before the price, for a page with no structured price. At most 20 per person. |
 | `/research question [context] [deadline] [at] [sources]` | registered | A one-off research request (docket's `research`, a `once` schedule at `at`, default now). A research run splits the question into its parts and looks each up on the web (read-and-web tools only, plan 5.6), naming each part's best source and trying it -- BoardGameGeek included, read honestly, a page that refuses it listed as one it could not open (with the web area; without it, named as a gap) -- and never opening eBay (eBay's User Agreement, section 3; since 0.30.0, docket-types 0.10.0), a reviewer run checks the draft against its sources, and only a passed answer is DMed to you (and accepted recipients); its claims are kept as findings on the task's page. `deadline` (docket's `parseWhen`) goes into the request; a run that would start past it makes no call and tells you. `question` must hold the question itself: fewer than 3 characters, or no letter at all (a stray `0`), is refused before anything is made. At most 5 waiting per person (a request waiting for pages for a fuller pass, below, not counted: its first answer is delivered); every run counts against the daily budget (below). `sources: browser` (0.28.0, docket-types 0.8.0's `sources: "sent"`; default `web`) answers from pages your own browser gathers instead -- ask Claude in Chrome to gather them and send them in through the task API (`POST /api/v1/tasks/<id>/sources`, then `/sources/ready`; Task API below), for pages a web run cannot or may not read, such as a BoardGameGeek page that refuses it or eBay, which the research never opens: it answers only from the pages sent in, and the request waits for them, its run queued 14 days out or 10 minutes before the deadline, whichever is sooner (a deadline less than 20 minutes away is refused; the margin makes a missed deadline unlikely, not impossible, since a run held by the budget or behind another Job can still start late), and moved to now by `ready`; a request whose `ready` never comes runs then on whatever pages are in, and with none makes no model call and DMs you so. `at` does not go with it, and it needs the web area. **A fuller pass** (0.29.0, docket-types 0.9.0; with the web area only): when the research run lists pages it needed and could not open (a best source that refused it, BoardGameGeek's included), the reviewed answer is DMed with a "Couldn't open:" list, and the request waits for pages for up to 14 days (or until 10 minutes before its deadline), sending, running and charging nothing; ask Claude in Chrome to gather them and send them in as for a browser request, and `ready` starts a second pass that DMs an "Update to ..." of what it adds or corrects. With no `ready` by then, the second pass runs on whatever pages are in, and with none the request ends and the first answer stands. Answers that research is not available while the city-hall Executor is not set up. |
 | `/scout new interests [lens] [for] [notes] [every]` | registered | An interest scout (docket-types' `scout` type, since 0.6.0; plan 1.2 row 1): every `every` days (default 1, at most 30) at your preferred hour, a model run looks on the web for 5 to 10 things published or available in the last 30 days that fit the `interests` (separated by commas, at most 20, each at most 80 characters) through the `lens` -- `general` (the default), `birthday` (fun or a little grandiose), `anniversary` (a romantic angle) or `christmas` (tied to their interests) -- for `for` (someone else, e.g. Anne; empty means you), weighing `notes`, and DMs them to you (and accepted recipients). A link it showed before is not shown again (it remembers the newest 300); fewer than five come with the run's reason. At most 3 scouts per person; each run counts against the daily budget (below), up to 1.50 USD. Answers that the scout is not available while the city-hall Executor is not set up. |
-| `/want name source [target] [max] [currency] [exclude] [confirm] [unconfirmed] [hours] [judge]` | registered | A want-list watch (docket-types' `wantlist` type, or `wantjudge` when judged, since 0.6.0; plan 1.2 row 2). `source` is `page`: `target` is a shop's listing or search page, checked like `/price`'s page and read once at once -- nothing is made unless its structured product data (JSON-LD `ItemList`s and `Product`s) lists something; `bgg`: `target` is a BoardGameGeek game's address or id, read through BGG's XML API while `TRACKER_BGG_TOKEN` is set; `shopify` (since 0.32.0): `target` is the words to search Shopify stores for (the name when empty), one Shopify catalog search per look through Firecrawl's Alexandria while `TRACKER_FIRECRAWL_KEY` is set (refused without it), for new copies in stock at or under `max`; a product counts only when its title has every word, and each look costs 5 Firecrawl credits, so `hours` is 24 to 168 for it; or `ebay`: with the eBay keys (`TRACKER_EBAY_CLIENT_ID` and `TRACKER_EBAY_CLIENT_SECRET`, since 0.33.0), one search per look through eBay's own Browse API (docket-types' `ebaySource`; eBay US, the newest fifty, narrowed by `max`), for listings whose title has every word of `target` (the words, the name when empty), new and used, an auction at its current bid (or its Buy It Now price, when it has one), the seller's name, feedback percentage and score shown; every hour by default, and the watcher still never opens an eBay page. Without the keys, `ebay` is an **inbox watch** (since 0.19.0; docket-types' `inbox` source), whose listings are sent in rather than read -- the watcher never opens eBay. A watch made before the keys were set stays an inbox watch; one made with them that outlives the keys fails each look and tells its owner once. An eBay API watch takes no alert emails: an alert for its words is left without a DM. It keeps no eBay data, so that the keyset may opt out of eBay's account-deletion notices: no finding is stored, its listings are in the DM only, six hours after a run its stored copy of the DM keeps only its first line and a link to eBay's own search (`ebay-forget.ts`; a send still owed then sends that), and it is never judged, whatever `judge` says, since a judged watch's Job is kept by city-hall's queue. For an inbox eBay watch, `target` is the words to search eBay for (the name when empty); the answer gives the watch's id, how listings reach it -- you search eBay in your own browser, such as with Claude in Chrome, and send what it finds to `POST /api/v1/tasks/<id>/listings` (Task API below), or, while the alert-email route is on (0.25.0, Alert emails below), forward eBay's saved-search alert emails to your alert address, which the answer gives -- and the eBay search itself, with `max` as eBay's own top price, to save on eBay too. `bgg` while the token is unset (BGG declined the application) is an inbox watch the same way: `target` is then a BGG game (kept as its id) or the words to look for (the name when empty). An inbox watch needs the web area (`TRACKER_WEB_URL`), since its listings arrive through the task API; without it, it is refused. It also needs the bot's `HTTP_PORT`, which the tracker cannot see: with `TRACKER_WEB_URL` set and `HTTP_PORT` unset, the watch is made but nothing can send it listings. Every `hours` (default 12 for a page, 24 for BGG and Shopify, 1 for eBay's API and for an inbox watch, whose reads cost nothing, at most 168) on the `poll` tick, the watch DMs each listing at or under `max` (then only listings that show a price) and in `currency` (when set) that it has not DMed before, up to 5 lines with the rest in `/task history`'s second message (up to 20, as many as fit in one message, the newest kept; the task's page in the web area shows the newest 50), with a Done button that ends the watch. Each listing DMed is a finding (an eBay API watch's excepted, above: its extra listings are left to eBay's own search). Three reads in a row that find nothing tell you once (a page whose list is empty is a search with no results, not nothing read). At most 20 new listings a run, the rest the next run. A redirect to eBay is refused on every hop. At most 20 watches per person, judged or not. eBay's pages are refused as a `page`. **Judged** (`judge`, default yes while the model runner is set up; `judge: true` without it is refused; fixed once made): the reads stay plain code, and new listings within the limits go to one `claude -p` Job first (docket-types' `wantjudge`, plan 5.4, item 63), which may open only those listings' pages on the watch's own site (never eBay, no web search) and says for each `match`, `maybe` or `no`, why, and what its page shows about the seller, as signals; the DM shows the `match` and `maybe` ones with those notes, and every listing is a finding with its verdict. 12 turns, 0.50 USD, 5 minutes a look; a look that fails for good sends the listings unchecked. Its reads are uncharged and its looks charged, like any model run; both wait while its owner is at a daily ceiling (with the budgets on). The judge may open only pages on the watch's own host (the pasted page's, or BGG's), and none at all for an inbox, Shopify or eBay watch: it judges from what each listing says. **`exclude`** (since 0.38.0, docket#77): words or phrases separated by commas, at most 20 of 80 characters each (1,000 characters in all); a listing whose title has any of them, as whole words in that order (case, accents and punctuation ignored, docket-types' `isExcluded`), is left out of every source before it is DMed or judged, and the confirmation names them. For a Shopify or eBay-API watch, a one-word entry that is one of the words searched for is refused, since every listing it keeps has that word. A field with no words in it is refused. **`confirm`** and **`unconfirmed`** (since 0.40.0, docket 0.20.0; the Arkham pilot of #368): words or phrases in the same form, at most 300 characters each field. A listing whose title has no `confirm` word is read in full where its source can (an eBay API watch reads it through eBay's getItem: its item specifics and description), then DMed if that has one, left out if its title or full listing has an `unconfirmed` word (remembered as told, so it is not read again), and otherwise DMed marked `check: not confirmed as "<first confirm word>"`. For a plain watch only: with `judge: true` they are refused (but an eBay API watch is never judged, so it takes them whatever `judge` says), and with `judge` left out they make a plain watch; the web editor always sends `judge`, so set it to no there. `unconfirmed` needs `confirm`; for a Shopify or eBay-API watch, a one-word `confirm` entry that is a searched word is refused. Every new listing of an eBay API watch is read in full once (at most 20 a run, together), so its DM lines also show shipping; nothing of the read is kept but that shipping text in the DM, which is cut after six hours like the rest of an eBay DM. |

Since 0.42.0 it may be judged like any watch: its judge Job carries the listings to city-hall, so the tracker sends that Job with `forgetAfterSeconds: 21600` and city-hall erases its prompt and answer 15 minutes after it ends, never later than six hours after it was submitted (Rackbops/city-hall#6, Rod's choice of 2026-11-08). An older city-hall answers without `forgottenAt`: it keeps that one Job (the admins are told once for each such job, `city-hall:no-forget:<job id>`, to remove it by hand before a runner takes it; after a restart another may land the same way), and until the bot restarts no other judged eBay Job is sent: those looks fail uncharged and, after docket's one retry, send their listings unchecked, as a plain eBay watch does. Other model runs go on. So deploy city-hall first. A judged eBay watch keeps only the item numbers it holds for its next look (docket 0.22.0) and re-reads each through getItem. For an inbox eBay watch, `target` is the words to search eBay for (the name when empty); the answer gives the watch's id, how listings reach it -- you search eBay in your own browser, such as with Claude in Chrome, and send what it finds to `POST /api/v1/tasks/<id>/listings` (Task API below), or, while the alert-email route is on (0.25.0, Alert emails below), forward eBay's saved-search alert emails to your alert address, which the answer gives -- and the eBay search itself, with `max` as eBay's own top price, to save on eBay too. `bgg` while the token is unset (BGG declined the application) is an inbox watch the same way: `target` is then a BGG game (kept as its id) or the words to look for (the name when empty).

Refused on a plain watch; `-` or an empty field clears them on an edit. **`exclude`** (since 0.38.0, docket#77): words or phrases separated by commas, at most 20 of 80 characters each (1,000 characters in all); a listing whose title has any of them, as whole words in that order (case, accents and punctuation ignored, docket-types' `isExcluded`), is left out of every source before it is DMed or judged, and the confirmation names them.

A want-list watch's (`wantlist`) are `name` (required), `target` (required but for an inbox watch), `source` (`page`, `bgg` or `ebay`), `max` (a number), `currency` (text), `exclude` (text: words or phrases separated by commas; an empty string clears it in an edit, and `settings.exclude` reads them back joined by `, `), `confirm` and `unconfirmed` (text, the same way; a plain watch only, since 0.40.0), `notes` (text; a judged watch only, since 0.42.0), `hours` (a whole number) and `judge` (`"yes"` or `"no"`; `"yes"` without the model runner is a `503`); a judged one comes back as `type: "wantjudge"`, edited by the same fields but `judge`; a task's JSON shows its `source` and `target`, which no edit changes -- an inbox watch's `source` reads back as `inbox` and its `target` is its inbox key -- and for an inbox watch its `site` (`ebay` or `bgg`), its words to `search` for and a BGG `game` when one was named. |
 | `POST /api/v1/tasks/validate` | A dry run of `POST /tasks`: the same body, checked, and nothing made or written. A reminder, a renewal, a scout or a news watch gets every check its create runs before it writes (the type's rules, the live-task cap, the scout or news-watch cap) and `{"valid": true, "checked": "full", "timeZone", "cadence", "firstAt", "thenAt", "message"}`: its first run and the run after, as UTC instants, placed in your zone as the scheduler places them (a renewal already within its lead is asked at once: its `firstAt` is then the ask's own date, already past, as the made task's `nextAt` will be). A price, a want-list watch or a research request gets its fields checked and the live-task cap (`"checked": "fields"`), and none of its type's own checks: its create reads a page or a source, or asks the model runner, so the rest is known only when it is made, and its create may refuse first for another reason (a bad address, the price-tracker cap). A refusal is the create's own (`400 invalid`, `unknown_field`, `409 limit_reached`, `503 unavailable`). Advice, not a reservation: a create made after it can still meet a cap. Takes no `If-Match`; an `Idempotency-Key` is ignored, as nothing is written. (0.37.0, #369.) |
 | `GET /api/v1/tasks/<id>` | One of your tasks (a deleted one too), with its history: the newest runs and changes, as `/task history` shows them. Each run carries `delivery` (0.37.0, #369): `state` is `not_run` (not finished yet: queued or running, so no copy is planned), `nothing_to_send` (no copy: it fired with no message for anyone, was skipped, or failed before it had one), `sending` (a copy still owed: not tried, out now, or retrying), `delivered` (every copy went out), `unconfirmed` (a send failed in a way that does not say whether it went out; never resent) or `failed` (a copy failed for good); when copies differ, `failed` outranks `unconfirmed`, which outranks `sending`, then `delivered`. `reason` is the error of the failed or unconfirmed copy; `sends` lists each copy, `to`, `status` and `error`. |
 | `PATCH /api/v1/tasks/<id>` | Edits it: the fields to change. A price's page is not editable. |
