Use Tweet Catcher's WebSocket API when Twitter alerts need to go straight into your own application. Receive updates as they happen and handle them inside your own workflow.

Events arrive as structured JSON and can be used by a trading bot, dashboard, or automated workflow. The REST API lets your application create and manage monitoring tasks without opening the dashboard.

WebSocket and REST API access are included with Pro.

## Capabilities

Low-latency real-time data streaming (sub-second)

JSON-based message protocol for easy integration

Scalable infrastructure for high-volume streams
