Learn how to track Twitter (X) activity in real time using a streaming API.
In this tutorial, I use ScrapeBadger Twitter Streams to continuously collect tweets as they are published. Unlike traditional scraping, streams provide a live feed of data, making them perfect for real-time monitoring, analytics, and automation.
You’ll learn how to create a stream, monitor specific accounts, and receive tweets instantly as they are posted.
