What you’ll build
In this guide you’ll:- Get your WebSocket URL from the uTrack dashboard

- Print incoming events (tweets, deletes, profile changes, follow updates, etc.)
1) Get your Websocket URL
- Log in to the uTrack Dashboard
- Add a test account to your tracked accounts
- Copy your personal WebSocket URL
2) Connect to the websocket
Below are example clients showing how to connect to uTrack’s WebSocket. Choose ONE based on your language — they behave the same.JavaScript / Node.js

3) Try it out
Assuming you have added your own X account to your Tracked Accounts you can now send a tweet and you will see atweet.mini.updateevent pop up with all the details about your tweet!
