XFlux

Monitors + Webhooks

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.

Traders & researchers

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.

AI & data builders

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.

API quickstart
SaaS & product teams

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.

Growth & competitive intel

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.

MonitorWebhooks

Alert & news workflows

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.

APIMonitor
Quickstart

API for on-demand reads. Monitors for always-on watches. One account, one bill.

Most alternatives sell you one or the other — cheap read access with no alerts, or expensive suites with no developer API. XFlux is both, from free tier up.

Why developers choose XFlux

Official X API pricing and approval can slow you down. XFlux is built for teams that need read access and monitors without the enterprise overhead.
