Built For

Whether you're building trading bots, monitoring brand reputation, or powering real-time dashboards — Twitter Streams delivers the data you need, the moment it appears.

1

Trading & Finance

React to market-moving tweets from CEOs, analysts, and public figures the instant they post. Build automated signals and alerts.

2

Brand Monitoring

Track what customers, competitors, and influencers say about your brand. Get alerted to PR crises before they escalate.

3

News & Intelligence

Power real-time dashboards, research feeds, and notification systems. Monitor journalists, government accounts, and breaking topics.

Everything You Need

Sub-Second Latency

Tweets are detected and delivered within a second of being posted. Every event includes a latency measurement so you can verify speed.

Up to 100 Accounts

Monitor up to 100 Twitter accounts per stream. Add influencers, competitors, executives — all in a single monitor with one webhook.

SDK Support

Official Python and Node.js SDKs with a StreamClient class. Or connect directly via raw WebSocket — we speak standard protocols.

Tweet Type Filtering

Filter by tweet type: originals, replies, retweets, or quote tweets. Leave filters unset to receive all tweet types from monitored accounts.

Zero Missed Tweets

Built-in deduplication guarantees each tweet is delivered exactly once. No duplicates, no gaps — every tweet accounted for.

Two Delivery Modes

Choose the integration style that fits your architecture.

WebSocket

Persistent connection, lowest latency

  • Persistent WSS connection
  • Tweets pushed in <50ms of detection
  • Reconnect protocol with missed-tweet recovery
  • JSON event format with full tweet metadata
  • Keepalive ping/pong every 30s

Webhook

HTTP POST to your endpoint

  • HMAC-SHA256 signed payloads
  • Automatic retry (3 attempts with backoff)
  • Auto-disable after 10 consecutive failures
  • Test endpoint to verify your handler
  • Delivery status tracked per tweet
