Real-Time Twitter WebSocket API: Tweets, Follows & Deletes

The 1322 Twitter WebSocket API monitors a custom list of X accounts and pushes tweets, replies, quotes, retweets, follow changes, profile changes, pins and deletions as structured events. Standard delivery typically operates in a 150-250ms range; selected accounts on the manually provisioned Ultimate lane typically operate around a 100ms average. REST handles the tracked list, WebSocket is included, no X developer account is required, plans start at $250 per month, and a full-product trial is available.

The entry plan is $250/month for up to 100 tracked accounts. WebSocket delivery is included in every X / Twitter plan. The dashboard, REST management, Telegram and signed-webhook routing are available according to the purchased source and enabled delivery features.

Need to validate the payload and operating range first? The one-day evaluation runs the actual product with a capped tracked list, no card and no purchase commitment.

A real-time Twitter monitor for account watchlists

Use 1322 when the job is to monitor a known list of X (Twitter) accounts and move each public event into a trading system, alert bot, Discord server, Telegram chat, or webhook workflow without operating your own X polling stack.

Best fit

  • Trading desks and crypto teams watching KOLs, founders, politicians, exchanges, and project accounts
  • Developers who need structured Twitter events over WebSocket instead of periodic timeline polling
  • Operators who want one tracked-account list shared by the dashboard, REST API, and managed alert routes

Know before buying

  • This is a live Twitter monitor, not a historical tweet archive or bulk search API
  • Standard X plans include WebSocket delivery; the lower-latency Ultimate lane is manually provisioned
  • Only accounts on your private tracked list consume capacity, and the list can be changed without reconnecting the stream

What 1322 monitors on X (Twitter)

  • New tweets, delivered progressively (mini → update → expanded → full) so you get the earliest signal then the enriched version
  • Replies, quote tweets, and retweets with the referenced/nested post
  • Profile updates (name, bio, avatar, banner, verification)
  • Follow / unfollow events
  • Tweet deletions and pin / unpin changes
  • Two delivery lanes: Normal and Ultimate (lower-latency)

How the event moves

Real-time delivery: X plans include a source-specific WebSocket stream and REST account management. Discord, Telegram, and signed-webhook routes depend on account configuration and enabled features. Base URL https://api.1322.io. The feed is filtered to the accounts on your tracked list; manage that list through REST, Discord, or the dashboard.

The same normalized event is rendered in the hosted live feed.

The Ultimate figure is a typical operating average for selected accounts, not an SLA. X Ultimate is provisioned manually and is intentionally not a self-serve checkout option.

Common questions

How fast are events?

Typically 150-250ms from when the tweet appears to when you receive it.

Can 1322 monitor specific Twitter accounts in real time?

Yes. Add the public X accounts you care about to a private watchlist, then receive their supported events through your WebSocket and configured alert routes.

WebSocket or REST?

Both. Use the WebSocket for push delivery and the REST API to manage tracked accounts and fetch state.

How do I choose which accounts to track?

Manage your tracked-account list via the REST API, the Discord bot, or the dashboard. The stream auto-updates to match.

Can I get historical tweets / backfill?

No. 1322 is a real-time stream, events are not queued while your client is disconnected. Reconnect with backoff and respond to pings to stay connected.

What's the difference between Normal and Ultimate?

Ultimate is a lower-latency lane. It is set up manually, contact sales; it is not a self-serve checkout option.

How many accounts can I track?

Up to your plan's account limit. See pricing.

How is it authenticated?

An API key via the X-API-Key header (or Bearer token) per request / WebSocket connection.

How are events delivered?

X plans include a source-specific WebSocket stream and REST account management. Discord, Telegram, and signed-webhook routes depend on account configuration and enabled features.

Is this an X Filtered Stream alternative?

It can be. X currently offers the official API v2 Filtered Stream under pay-per-use pricing. 1322 is a managed, flat-plan option for a selected account list, with its own WebSocket and REST management contract.

Does it work with the Twitter API v2?

1322 is independent of the official Twitter API, you don't need a Twitter developer account, elevated access, or per-request quotas. One API key, one WebSocket.

Can I trial the X (Twitter) feed before subscribing?

Yes. The standard one-day evaluation uses the real dashboard, live feed and production event payloads for a capped tracked list. It is requested through 1322 support and requires no card or purchase commitment.
