Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is there a maximum number of companies I can add to a single watchlist? The number of companies per watchlist depends on your subscription plan. If you try to add more companies than your plan allows, the API will return an error. Contact support@outx.ai for details on plan-specific limits.
Q: How soon does tracking start after I create a company watchlist? Tracking tasks are created immediately when you create the watchlist. The system begins fetching posts from the tracked company pages right away, and results typically start appearing within a short time depending on Chrome extension activity. The tasks_created field in the response confirms how many tracking tasks were queued.
Q: What happens when I hit my plan’s limit for tracked companies? When you reach your plan’s company tracking limit, the API will return an error when you try to add more companies. You can remove companies from existing watchlists or delete unused watchlists to free up capacity, or upgrade your plan for higher limits.
