Twitter Account Activity API–style alerts without enterprise AAA
Official Account Activity API (AAA) is enterprise-gated. If you only need new tweets from specific public accounts, XFlux account monitors + signed HTTP webhooks cover the same job at Starter pricing.
Watch named @accounts
Create monitors for the handles you care about — optional keyword filters — no CRC challenge handshake to maintain.
Signed webhooks on hit
Starter+ POSTs monitor.hit events to Discord, Slack, Make, n8n, or your server with HMAC-SHA256 verification.
Also a read API
Same key covers profiles, timelines, and search when you need on-demand pulls — not only push alerts.
Replace AAA-style account alerts in three steps
- 1
Create a free XFlux account
Generate an API key and open Dashboard → Monitors. Free includes 1 monitor and hit history.
- 2
Add the @handles you used to subscribe via AAA
Set optional keywords (tickers, Fed, memecoin slang). Polling interval depends on plan (down to 1s on paid tiers).
- 3
Paste a webhook URL on Starter+
Save Discord/Slack/Make/your HTTPS URL, click Test, then upgrade when you need live hit delivery.
Official Account Activity API vs XFlux monitors
AAA is the right tool for enterprise subscription to account events across the X platform. XFlux is for developers who need account-level alerts and a read API without that procurement path.
| Official AAA | XFlux | |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Enterprise / partner process | Self-serve signup |
| Scope | Subscribed account activity events | Public @handles you configure |
| Delivery | Official webhook + CRC | HMAC-signed HTTP webhooks (Starter+) |
| Typical cost | Enterprise contract | From $19/mo Starter |
FAQ
- Is XFlux the official Twitter Account Activity API?
- No. XFlux is an independent read API and account monitor product. We do not resell official AAA. We solve a common subset: notify me when these public accounts post.
- When should I still use official AAA?
- When you need official enterprise SLAs, full Activity event types, or contractual access to X’s Account Activity product. For watching a short list of public KOLs or brands, monitors are usually enough.
- Do Free plans get live webhooks?
- Free can save a URL and send Test pings. Live monitor.hit delivery starts on Starter ($19/mo). Hits always appear in the Dashboard.
