# Quickstart

In 3 minutes: add a hashtag, then fetch the posts we detect.

## 1. Get your API key

After you subscribe, your API key is available in your **client dashboard**. It looks like:

```
psy_live_5f3c1a9b2d7e4f60a8c1b2d3e4f5061728394a5b
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
Keep your key secret. It grants access to your account and usage billing.
{% endhint %}

## 2. Add a hashtag to track

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.posynt.win/v1/tracks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer psy_live_xxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"hashtag": "ledroplive"}'
```

Response:

```json
{
  "id": "trk_9f2a",
  "hashtag": "ledroplive",
  "status": "active",
  "created_at": "2026-07-11T10:00:00Z"
}
```

Posynt starts watching `#ledroplive` immediately.

## 3. Fetch the detected posts

```bash
curl https://api.posynt.win/v1/posts?hashtag=ledroplive \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer psy_live_xxx"
```

Response:

```json
{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "post_abc123",
      "hashtag": "ledroplive",
      "author": "@0xwhale",
      "text": "gm, the mint is live 🔥 #ledroplive",
      "url": "https://x.com/0xwhale/status/1830000000000000000",
      "posted_at": "2026-07-11T10:01:12Z",
      "detected_at": "2026-07-11T10:01:34Z"
    }
  ],
  "next_cursor": null
}
```

## Next step

Instead of polling the API, get posts pushed straight to your community:

* [Discord / Telegram notifications](/guides/notifications.md)
* [Track an X account](/api-reference/accounts.md) the same way
* [Turn on engagement tracking](/api-reference/tracks.md#engagement-tracking) to also see who RT'd/liked/commented

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.posynt.win/getting-started/quickstart.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
