Overview
GET /v2/monitor returns a minimal response — has anything changed since last_checked, how many new filings, and when the latest one occurred. It is designed for agents running high-frequency monitoring loops where minimizing response payload matters.
Use /v2/monitor to check for changes, then call /v2/case only when changed is true to retrieve the full filing details.

Usage pattern
Both
/v2/monitor and /v2/case cost $0.99 per query. The efficiency gain of /v2/monitor is in response payload size, not price. For most monitoring workflows, calling /v2/case directly with last_checked is simpler and equally cost-effective.
