X API capabilities are summarized at a high level and depend on your access tier and product. PooTracker figures reflect the live feed.
Real-time X (Twitter) WebSocket API. Tweets, follows, profile changes and instant subtweet context. From $225/month for 150 accounts. Live speed stats.
Instant subtweet enrichment. PooTracker delivers enriched reply, quote and retweet context on the same stream - the full chain, view counts, verified badges, edit history, polls, and cards resolved in the same breath as the tweet, over the same socket, with no second call. For snipers and AI agents that need a tweet's full context (what it quotes, replies to, or retweets) to act on it, that head start is decisive.
Yes. The official stream delivers matching tweets but does not surface profile edits, follow/unfollow, or pin changes for arbitrary accounts, and access is gated behind paid tiers and usage caps. PooTracker pushes all of those event types over one WebSocket, with full reply/quote/retweet chains pre-resolved and non-English tweets pre-translated - no API project or rules to maintain.
Open one WebSocket to wss://feed.pootracker.app/v1, add the accounts you care about to your watchlist over a small REST API, and consume JSON events as they are pushed - you are not bounded by a rate limit.
Yes. PooTracker emits a tweet.deleted.update carrying the last-known state of the tweet (body, media, and metrics) before it vanished, and a profile.update whose modifications array names exactly which fields changed - avatar, display name, bio, location, website, or follower count.
Both. The same single websocket works for personal use - a side project, a personal alert bot, or watching a handful of accounts for your own trading - and scales all the way to enterprise feeds tracking 100,000+ accounts in real time. Only your tier and watchlist size change; the product and the connection are the same.
Yes. Enterprise feeds track 100,000+ accounts in real time on a single connection. Delivery priority and watchlist size scale with the tier (LITE / PRO / EDGE, with EDGE the fastest).
LITE starts at $225/month for 150 accounts; PRO at $1,200/month for 40; EDGE at $2,100/month for 15. Five connections are included. Custom setups are quoted in Discord. View current prices at /#pricing.
