Twitter (X) Webhook: Send New Tweets to Your App

Short answer: create an X monitor in AyeWatch (an account or a search), then set a webhook URL in Settings → Webhooks. Each new tweet the monitor finds is POSTed to your URL as JSON, signed with your secret. No X developer account needed. Webhooks are on Pro and Pro+.

Set it up

1. Create the source: Create a monitor → X, then Profile with a link, or Search with a query.
2. Open Settings → Webhooks, paste your HTTPS endpoint and save. Copy the secret it shows.
3. Verify the X-AyeWatch-Signature header (HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body with your secret) and return a 2xx.

What your endpoint receives

{
  "topic_id": 1042,
  "topic_name": "Northwind Labs on X",
  "update_id": 7891,
  "headline": "Northwind Sync public beta is open.",
  "content": "• Northwind Sync public beta is open. First 2,000 sign-ups get 3 months free.",
  "created_at": "2026-10-21T09:38:00Z"
}

Use update_id to deduplicate. Failed deliveries are retried with backoff, up to 10 attempts. Field reference and verification code in Node and Python are in the webhook docs.

The same alert in AyeWatch

The first check saves the current posts as a starting point, so you are not flooded with old ones. After that, every check that finds something new sends one alert. The headline is the post itself, or "3 new from …" when several land at once, with a link to each post and its text.

Common uses

• Post new tweets into a Discord channel or a Teams chat through your own small handler.
• Save every brand mention to a spreadsheet or database.
• Open a support ticket when someone tweets a complaint.
