On 2023.06.14 the free and stable API v1.1 was shut down.
Additionally, scraping was disabled. You now have to be logged in to access the Twitter search bar.
We're only left with Twitter API v2.
To manage expectations, you must be aware - it's buggy and unreliable.
The API goes down daily.
It randomly rejects valid search queries with a "syntax error" error.
And it costs $100/month to receive 333 tweets/day.
This is the only option though, and if after this excellent sales pitch you still want Twitter support - we have it.
You can receive your results through our Slack integration, email, a Zapier integration, or API.
With Syften, you can get alerts whenever someone tweets using the keywords you want to monitor, allowing you to be among the first to comment.
A tweet has a shorter lifespan than a mayfly. Quickly liking or retweeting it can help increase its reach, as the platform's algorithm favors recent engagement.
Has anyone ever recommended your product, but the tweet just withered and died? Never let that happen again,let your team give it that initial nudge needed for success.

Given Twitter's recent API changes, Syften decided to fight the battle and continue support.
Syften is an excellent Twitter monitoring tool, providing near-instant alerts, access to the full Twitter search syntax, and the ability to configure up to 100 filters. You can also receive alerts through Slack, email, Zapier, or API. While there are other monitoring tools available, Syften's features and versatility make it a top choice for those seeking comprehensive Twitter monitoring.
To find out if your social media monitoring tool is working, you need to measure your results. Keep an eye on your user acquisition channels to see where your paying customers are coming from. After a while, you'll be able to tell if your monitoring efforts on Twitter are paying off. Just remember that some browsers might block referrer information, but this method still gives you a pretty good idea of your tool's effectiveness.
The official Twitter Firehose is a live stream of all Tweets. And it's super-expensive.

Tracking Twitter mentions is an essential part of maintaining a strong online presence for any business. With Syften, you can effortlessly monitor brand mentions, allowing you to stay informed about relevant discussions and engage with your audience effectively.
At Rewardful, we're huge believers in word-of-mouth marketing. I've used most of the social monitoring tools on the market and most have a lot of noise in the results or miss important conversations happening online. Syften returns the most relevant social mentions with the least amount of noise out of all the tools I've tested so far. Their community listening is the best on the market and I love how you can fine tune by source.
I love that Syften monitors all the communities I am part of but don't have enough time to check all day. Now, I can check my email and see conversations happening on Twitter, Reddit, Indie Hackers, and many more places. It's incredibly useful. Worth every dollar.
We use Syften to react to people saying things about us on the internet every single day. It's a set once and forget tool that just helps your team keep your pulse on whatever it is you care about.
Syften is awesome. I use it for my business so I can monitor the brand, and participate in online discussions which can help us attract new customers. I also use it personally to keep track of niche subjects that I'm interested in like emerging tech and products.
I've written a couple books and like to keep an eye on how and where folks are talking about them. Syften has helped me catch several key conversations that I otherwise wouldn't have seen. Even on the days without any notable alerts, I'm still happy to know that I haven't missed anything. A very useful tool.
We love Syften at PostHog and find it incredibly useful for listening to our open-source community. The Slack integration enables our entire team to find ways to connect with our users, whether it's the Marketing team sharing new content or the Engineering team answering technical questions. The filtering system is especially powerful and helps us separate the signal from the noise.
Syften has become integral to our business. It allows us to monitor *and* respond in real-time using their super simple webhooks. For example, when people mention our competitors being expensive on Twitter, Syften finds it and enables us to respond instantly with Zapier. It's paid for itself many times over. It even helped us secure $5M in funding for one of our community members. Michael has been overwhelmingly supportive over the past 18+ months we've been a customer and we couldn't be more grateful.
I use Syften every day and have been for a year. I looked at various other social listening tools but they were mostly aimed at big brands and enterprise customers and carried a hefty price tag. Syften tracks all of the major networks that I'm interested (even ones the big tools don't) and it's affordable for businesses of every size. Every day I get an email digest of people talking about my product for me to take immediate action on.
I gather the mentions I get from Syften and add them to our customer sales and partner presentations to show how our product is gaining mindshare amongst users on Reddit and forums. These slides are very impactful.
Syften has been a great tool to understand in which communities my website is being mentioned, or topics relevant to my business. It allowed me to engage in meaningful discussions and to identify some important actors in my niche.
Syften has enabled us to keep an eye on the topics related to our product. We can easily track posts about discount codes, email marketing, and e-commerce. We can then suggest using our service, or just be helpful answering questions on subjects that we are familiar with.
Regularly engaging in online discussions will drive large amounts of organic traffic to your business, free.
Monitor up to 100 keywords, generating thousands of weekly opportunities to promote your business.
