Hi,

New here and searching for answer and maybe a forward to a solution.

I want to create an alert everytime a certain hashtag is used. Around the world or in my country for examples whatever is possible or allowed.

I’m even satisfied that I can check every ten minutes if there are new posts with the certain hastag and it gives me an alert.

By alert I mean anything, a number a 1/0 signal. I just need a certain form of data that I can convert to something else.

Preferably in python or js.

Is this possible?

I found stuff like twiler, tweepy, etc… but they all don’t really give me that option.
Currently I’m waiting for my app to be approved.

Hopefully this is clear for the people viewing this? Because this is al new and I don’t know the right terms to search on this.

Kind regards,

Sure, to monitor for tweets with a hashtag you can use POST statuses/filter | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform

You will get a stream of json objects you can use for whatever alerts you need.

This is a really minimal example for tracking mentions of pizza https://github.com/geduldig/TwitterAPI/blob/master/examples/stream_tweets.py

tweepy also supports streaming too, but the above library is maybe simpler to use.
