How to use Dataset Diff: Only New & Changed Items From Any Actor from your AI agent
● ready to rungeneral
A general tool your agent can run. It takes inputs such as Actor, Task or dataset to watch, What to report and Item identity fields, and returns its results to your agent. One prepaid apifare balance pays for this and every other capability your agent uses — under per-agent caps, a kill switch, and a signed receipt for every call.
What you need
An apifare key with credits. That's it: get a key (new accounts start with 500 free credits), connect your agent with its setup guide, and ask it to run Dataset Diff: Only New & Changed Items From Any Actor.
Inputs it takes
| field | what it sets | example |
|---|---|---|
source required | Actor, Task or dataset to watch | |
emit | What to report | ["new","changed"] |
identityFields | Item identity fields | |
watchFields | Only watch these fields | |
notifyMaxItems | Changes per notification | 20 |
slackWebhookUrl | Slack webhook URL |
Your agent fills these in from what you ask; you rarely need to name them.
Price
Reserve 5 credits per run, settled to the run's true cost (ceiling 20 credits; 1 credit = $0.01). Failed runs are refunded. The exact billed number always comes from /capabilities.
Run it
Once your agent is connected, ask it:
Use apifare to run "Dataset Diff: Only New & Changed Items From Any Actor" for me.Your agent finds it with search_apis and runs it with proxy_call (in apifare-mcp). Over HTTP: GET /v1/search?q=… with Authorization: Bearer <token>, then POST the result's proxy_route with the input JSON. Full reference: the docs · for agents: this page as Markdown.
