Quick Start
Connect to TweetStream in just a few lines of code:

`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
}
}
