Monitoring Keywords

KWatch.io allows you to monitor social media platforms for specific keywords.

Supported Platforms​

KWatch.io currently supports the following platforms:

  • Reddit
  • X (Twitter)
  • Hacker News
  • LinkedIn
  • Quora
  • Facebook
  • YouTube

Basic Alert Creation​

To create a new alert, you'll need to specify:

  1. The platform you want to monitor
  2. One or several keywords you want to track

Keywords can be single words or phrases.

You can specify several independent keywords that must ALL appear in the content (acting like an AND operator in boolean search).
Example: "chatgpt, growth" will match content containing both "chatgpt" AND "growth", but content containing only "chatgpt" will not match.

Common Filtering Options​

Excluded Keywords​

These are keywords that should NOT appear in the results.

You can specify several independent excluded keywords, which means that NONE of them should appear in the content (acting like a mix of NOT and AND operators in boolean search).
Example: "seo, hacking" will exclude any content containing both "seo" AND "hacking" but content containing only "seo" will still be matched.

Language Filtering​

You can specify one or several languages to include or exclude in the results.

To select multiple languages, hold down the CTRL key (or the command (⌘) key on Mac) while clicking.

Platform-Specific Filtering Options​

Each platform has its own set of filtering options.
