i wrote an explainer for our Custom Streams feature -- which is essentially a marketplace for scrapers
vendors sell customizable scrapers(eg for twitter, medium, telegram etc). users input targets, no technical expertise needed -- you just get a feed with updates pushed to you
this is very much useful for news traders, prediction markets traders, meme traders.
recommend reading the thing
this is a third attempt at posting this.
so, we had a problem. normal streams are static - one feed with a fixed target/source. there are situations where users might want to pick custom targets for platforms like twittеr, instagram, medium, etc.
remember, we’re a marketplace, anyone can create and sell these feeds, so it’s pain in the ass to let vendors sell customizable streams.
anyways, we worked on it for some time and shipped 'custom streams.'
now, wtf are custom streams? think marketplace for scrapers.
you set the targets on the seller’s scraper. say you want to track coinbase, cz, elon, and some memecoin influencers. you input their usernames, you pay per account and thats it - you get a normal stream. add it to the synoptic streamdeck dashboard or consume it on a webscoket.
no need to do complicated rest api shit like on rapidapi. you set targets - you get a websocket feed ready to go. vendors push all new events to you.
also, you can programmatically adjust targets from the api - very useful for large scale tracking.
rn you can find twitеr acc tracker, follows/unfollows and search tracker(you just input the search keywords). you’re welcome to ask for new stuff. if there’s demand, we’ll add it.
also, scraper sellers are invited to set up their custom streams. there’s demand for different social network coverage. we’ll promote good custom streams and help you sell.
BONUS: you can DM me here or at SummersThings on twitter, discord or telegram, and ill walk you through the whole setup and answer any questions
in any case, our design team made a nice video explainer on how this shit works, so please watch it.
