Twitter account monitor status & alert checks

Choose One Account Monitor

Use this route to inspect one account monitor by ID. It returns target, event types, active state, and billing timing. Use update to change state and list for account-wide inventory.
Free - does not consume credits
The Node.js, Python, and Go examples convert the fetched account monitor into one state snapshot row. Store monitor_id, event_types, is_active, next_billing_at, update_endpoint, events_endpoint, event_detail_endpoint_pattern, webhooks_endpoint, and deliveries_endpoint_pattern before changing filters, pausing alerts, or reconciling webhooks.

State handoff

Use GET /monitors/{id} before changing routing, billing checks, or alert state for one account monitor. The endpoint returns the current stored monitor for your account only; deleted or cross-account IDs return 404.

Tracked Account

Treat username and xUserId as the resolved X account identity. Store both with downstream CRM, warehouse, or queue records.

Current Filter

Treat eventTypes as the active matching contract. Mirror those event types into webhook subscriptions before relying on signed alerts.

Active State

Use isActive to decide whether the monitor should poll and bill. Use Update Monitor to pause or resume it.

Event Join

Use id as monitorId with List Events to reconcile stored events and webhook deliveries for this account.

Event Detail

Use event IDs returned by List Events with Get Event when a support, audit, or agent workflow needs the full tweet payload.

Webhook Alignment

Use List Webhooks to compare webhook eventTypes with this monitor before relying on signed alerts.

Delivery Audit

Use List Deliveries for each webhook and join delivery streamEventId to event IDs. Do not use x_event_id as the delivery join key.
