# Anomaly Detector **Anomaly Detector** offers built-in machine learning-based anomaly detection capabilities to monitor temporary and persistent anomalies within IoT devices and shows how to integrate Novacura Flow to notify alerts to the user using The Anomaly Detector API which enables you to monitor and detect abnormalities in your time series data without having to know machine learning. The Anomaly Detector API's algorithms adapt by automatically identifying and applying the best-fitting models to your data, regardless of industry, scenario, or data volume. Using your time series data, the API determines boundaries for anomaly detection, expected values, and which data points are anomalies. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.novacura.com/marketplace-documentation/components/explore-components/anomaly-detector.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
