Stack Overflow Keyword Monitor — Track Questions About Your Product or Tech

Know the same day when developers ask about your product, library, or a problem you solve. Stack Overflow Keyword Monitor is a no-code stack overflow keyword monitor and question tracker that watches any keyword across Stack Overflow and the wider Stack Exchange network, delivering new matching questions as clean, structured data. Powered by the official, free Stack Exchange API — no key required (add a free key for a higher quota).

How to use

3. Run it — or schedule it daily.

Scheduling & integrations

Built to run daily on autopilot via Apify Schedules, with Google Sheets, Slack, email, webhooks, Make, and Zapier integrations to route new questions wherever you work.

Pricing

Simple pay-per-event: a small fee per run start + a small fee per question found. A typical daily run costs a few cents; empty runs are near-free.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. The Stack Exchange API allows ~300 requests/day unauthenticated — plenty for daily monitoring. Add a free Stack Apps key to get 10,000/day for heavier use.

How fresh is the data? Real-time. sort = new returns the newest questions first.

What if a run finds nothing? It writes one informational item per keyword, at near-zero cost.
