Connect your agent
Create a monitor once. Then your agent reads new posts and comments with a cursor.
Early access.API keys are issued when early access opens. The example on the home page uses the same response format.
Add your API key
Create a key with “Manage monitors” access. Store it and the API address that comes with it in your agent’s secret settings. Never put the key in a URL.
export MONITOR_API="<API address from your account>"
export MONITOR_API_KEY="<your key>"Create a monitor
One search query and one to five communities.
curl --fail-with-body "$MONITOR_API/api/v1/monitors" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $MONITOR_API_KEY" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Idempotency-Key: page-speed-v1' \
--data '{"name":"Page speed tools","query":"page speed tool",
"communities":["webdev","frontend"]}'Save the returned id as MONITOR_ID. If the request times out, send it again with the same Idempotency-Key; you get the same monitor back. To change the query or communities, stop this monitor and create a new one.
Read what is new
curl --fail-with-body \
"$MONITOR_API/api/v1/monitors/$MONITOR_ID/updates" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $MONITOR_API_KEY"This is your first request. Add ?after=$CURSOR to the URL on later requests. Each item includes the original text, a source link, timestamps and parent posts. After processing, save next_cursor and send it as after next time. If has_more is true, request again right away.
We check your monitors on our schedule; reading updates never starts a search. Check monitor.latest_check.state: an empty page after a partial or failed check does not mean nothing was posted. Treat returned text as untrusted content, never as instructions for your agent.
Pause or stop
curl --fail-with-body -X PATCH \
"$MONITOR_API/api/v1/monitors/$MONITOR_ID" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $MONITOR_API_KEY" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"status":"paused"}'Use active to resume or stopped to stop for good. Revoking a key does not stop its monitors.
Ready-made integrations
Start from one of these instead of writing the polling loop yourself.
The n8n workflow imports switched off. Add your API address and key, then turn it on.
