Twitter/𝕏 keyword alerts Custom notifications for when you, your company, or anything you care about is mentioned on Twitter. If you believe in Twitter/𝕏-driven development, you want to get notified when anyone is talking about your tech, even if they're not tagging you. To get this Twitter Alert bot running for you, fork this val and modify the query and where the notification gets delivered. 1. Query Change the keywords for what you want to get notified for and the excludes for what you don't want to get notified for. You can use Twitter's search operators to customize your query, for some collection of keywords, filtering out others, and much more! 2. Notification Below I'm sending these mentions to a public channel in our company Discord, but you can customize that to whatever you want, @std/email, Slack, Telegram, whatever. Twitter Data & Limitations The Twitter API has become unusable. This val gets Twitter data via SocialData , an affordable Twitter scraping API. In order to make this val easy for you to fork & use without signing up for another API, I am proxying SocialData via @stevekrouse/socialDataProxy. Val Town Pro users can call this proxy a limited amount per day. If you want to run it more, get your own SocialData API token and pay for it directly.

Poll Twitter & Populate SQlite database The twitter API (or in this case someone else's wrapper over the twitter API) is finicky, so we just try to get one handle per minute, and shove whatever we get into our database, which could be an error message (this is why handles don't have a unique index).
