Twitter WebSocket Alerts for Trading Bots

Stream crypto Twitter alerts to your trading bot with real-time WebSocket updates

Real-Time Alerts for Automated Trading

Plug your bot into TweetStream's WebSocket and receive alerts enriched with tokens, prices, and OCR—ready to trade, zero processing.

Why WebSocket?

  • Persistent connection - No polling overhead, alerts push instantly when tweets are detected
  • Sub-second latency - Response-time targets published for each plan tier
  • Structured data - Consistent JSON schema—parse once, handle all alerts
  • Connection management - Built-in heartbeat and auto-reconnect—your bot stays connected

Enriched Alert Data

Every tweet alert includes:

  • Detected tokens with contract addresses and live prices
  • OCR-extracted text from screenshots and images
  • Polymarket and Kalshi market references with live odds
  • CEX ticker matches (Binance, Bybit, Hyperliquid)
  • Full tweet content including media and referenced tweets

Quick Start

Connect to TweetStream in just a few lines of code:

const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const WS_URL = 'wss://ws.tweetstream.io/ws';

const protocols = [
  'tweetstream.v1',
  `tweetstream.auth.token.${API_KEY}`,
];

const ws = new WebSocket(WS_URL, protocols);

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const envelope = JSON.parse(event.data);

  if (envelope.t === 'tweet' && envelope.op === 'content') {
    const tweet = envelope.d;
    const author = tweet.author?.handle ?? 'unknown';
    
    // Access detected tokens with live prices
    const meta = envelope.d.meta;
    if (meta?.detected?.tokens?.length) {
      for (const token of meta.detected.tokens) {
        console.log(`Token: ${token.symbol} @ $${token.priceUsd}`);
        // Trigger your trading logic here
      }
    }
  }
};
