Path parameters

​
id
string
required
The unique monitor ID.

​
Headers

​
x-api-key
string
required
Your API key. Session cookie authentication is also supported. Generate a key from the dashboard.
​
Content-Type
string
required
Must be application/json.

​
Body

At least 1 field is required.
​
eventTypes
string[]
Updated array of event types. Must contain at least 1 valid type: tweet.new, tweet.quote, tweet.reply, tweet.retweet.
​
isActive
boolean
Set to false to pause monitoring, or true to resume. Paused account monitors do not consume hourly monitor credits.

​
Update handoff

Use this endpoint when an account alert changes event scope, needs a temporary pause, or must resume without creating a new monitor ID.

Returned State

Store returned id, username, xUserId, eventTypes, isActive, createdAt, and nextBillingAt as the current account monitor configuration.

Event Filter

eventTypes replaces the current filter. Keep webhook subscriptions aligned with the monitor event types you expect to deliver.

Pause Monitoring

isActive: false pauses future account checks, stored events, future webhook deliveries, and hourly monitor billing for this monitor.

Resume Monitoring

isActive: true resumes checks for matching future account activity. Check nextBillingAt, then run Test Webhook before relying on production alerts.

Account Identity

PATCH cannot change username or xUserId. Delete this monitor and create a new account monitor when the tracked account changes.

Downstream Join

Keep using monitorId and username from List Events to reconcile stored events and signed webhook payloads after the update.

​
