One API for read access — plus monitors that push to you #
REST endpoints for on-demand pulls. Account monitors with optional webhooks when you do not want to poll yourself.
Profiles & users
Lookup public profiles by @username — id, bio, followers, verification.
Use for: CRM enrichment, author cards, verification checks
GET /api/v1/users/:username/tweets
Timelines
Fetch recent tweets from any public account timeline.
Use for: Feed widgets, backtests, content archives
Search
Search public posts by keyword, hashtag, or from:username.
Use for: Brand monitoring, trend research, RAG ingestion
Tweet lookup
Retrieve a single tweet by ID for enrichment or moderation pipelines.
Use for: Link unfurling, moderation, fact-check tools
Account monitors
Background polling for new tweets — no cron jobs or scraping scripts.
Use for: KOL tracking, competitor watches, alert rules
Signed webhooks
HTTP POST to your URL when a monitor detects a new tweet. HMAC verified.
Use for: Slack bots, trading signals, real-time AI agents
Three ways teams use XFlux #
Start with the REST API for one-off reads. Add monitors when you need ongoing coverage. Upgrade to webhooks when you want push instead of poll.
Pull data on demand
Call REST endpoints from your app, script, or data pipeline — profiles, search, timelines, tweet lookup.
- Enrich a CRM with @handles
- Backfill tweets for sentiment
- Power a search UI
Watch accounts in the background
Create monitors in the Dashboard. XFlux polls for new tweets so you do not need cron jobs or scrapers.
- Track KOL accounts
- Watch competitor launches
- Alert on brand mentions
Get pushed via webhook
On Starter plans and above, new monitor hits POST signed JSON to your HTTPS endpoint — build real-time alerts.
- Slack / Discord bots
- Trading signal pipelines
- Auto-summarize new posts
Pull with REST — or get pushed when accounts post #
Use the read API in your app, bot, or data pipeline. Add monitors when you need alerts without writing polling infrastructure.
REST API — on-demand reads

Monitors — webhook on new tweets
Watch @accounts in the Dashboard. Starter plans POST signed JSON to your HTTPS URL when a new tweet is detected — no polling code on your side.

Typical workflow
-
① Register Create a free account and copy your API key from the Dashboard — under 60 seconds.
-
② Integrate Call REST for profiles, search, and timelines — or add a monitor for accounts you want to watch continuously.
-
③ Automate On paid plans, route monitor hits to your webhook for Slack alerts, trading bots, or AI summarization pipelines.
Built for the jobs you actually have #
Whether you need on-demand data or always-on account watches, XFlux combines a read API and monitors in one place — without enterprise pricing or approval delays.
Catch KOL posts before the market moves
You follow influential accounts but can't sit on X all day — and most API tools only let you pull data on demand.
- Monitor @accounts on a schedule — no cron jobs to maintain
- Get signed webhooks when new tweets land (paid plans)
- Review hit history in the Dashboard
Unlike read-only API proxies, you don't build the polling layer yourself.
Feed tweets into RAG, sentiment, and analytics
Your pipeline needs profiles, timelines, and search results — but the official API is costly and slow to approve.
- REST endpoints for users, tweets, and search
- Bearer API key — integrate in minutes
- 1,000 free calls/month to prototype
Unlike scrapers, you get stable JSON and documented limits.
Embed X data in your product without enterprise sales
You want profile lookup or search inside your app, not a months-long developer portal application.
- Drop-in REST API with clear quotas per plan
- Scale from free tier to 4M calls/month
- Self-serve docs and API keys
Unlike the official Basic tier at $100+/mo, paid plans start at $19.
Track competitors, founders, and industry voices
Enterprise social listening is overkill and overpriced; wiring your own monitors eats engineering time.
- Watch multiple public accounts per plan
- Dashboard timeline of every new hit
- Webhook into Slack, Discord, or your backend
Unlike listening suites priced for enterprises, XFlux is built for builders.
Turn account activity into real-time signals
You need a reliable trigger when a specific account posts — not a manual refresh or fragile scraper.
- Poll intervals from 15s (Scale) to 5 min (Free)
- HMAC-signed webhook payloads for verification
- One monitor on Free — scale to 50 on Scale
Unlike DIY scripts, polling runs in our infrastructure.
