Trackly

trackly.io

Website & PDF change‑detection for business users (legal, banking, competitive intel).

An authenticated REST API and change‑notification webhook are available on paid plans/enterprise. Not a finance‑data provider per se; commonly used to watch IR pages, regulators, central banks, fee/terms pages, and other sources relevant to investing workflows. Pricing shows 30‑day trial and a free plan (3 tracks). Enterprise starts “from $229/mo” (annual) with 10 seats; support articles mention up to ~2,000–5,000+ tracks depending on quote. No native broker/data integrations disclosed.

Wayback Machine (Internet Archive)

web.archive.org

General‑purpose web archiving used widely in financial research to cite and compare historical webpages (IR pages, fund fact sheets, product sites). Save Page Now (SPN2) enables on‑demand snapshots with options like outlink capture and full‑page screenshots. Availability and CDX APIs expose snapshot discovery; Memento provides time‑based negotiation. Rate limits/quotas apply to SPN2; crawling and replay behavior may vary by target site robots/policies. Some large platforms (e.g., Reddit) restrict Wayback access to content.
