Hi @Lethal_Panda,, yeah the Watcher is supported via v2 SDK for self hosted api, it's accessible via watcher() method.

Hiya! Thanks for the response. Do you have a link for where this method is in the docs? can't seem to find where it can be used to direct observer to use my self hosted instance instead of api.firecrawl.dev

Hey, it's not documented, but you can use it like:
const app = new Firecrawl({ apiKey: "optional", apiUrl: "http://localhost:3002" });
const app = new Firecrawl({ apiKey: "optional", apiUrl: "http://localhost:3002" });

Got it, thank you! In the self hosted firecrawl docs it shows settings to enable for a hosted supabase instance to do DB auth, but then later it also says it's not supported - is that unsupported or would that be functional? Bumping this question ^ And is there any plans to support supabase instance or some other method of changeTracking with selfhosted instances?
