Monitor a Profile

Starts monitoring a profile so it is automatically re-crawled at a cadence you choose (daily, every_3_days or weekly), keeping its posts and stats fresh without you polling crawl_profile. Identify the profile by profileId, platform+handle, or a public profile/post URL. Managing monitoring is free; each scheduled refresh crawl costs credits (10 per refresh) and monitoring pauses itself if your balance runs out, then resumes when you top up. The profile must already be in the database; crawl_profile it first if it is not. Calling again on an already-monitored profile just updates the cadence. Pull the new posts with get_tracked_updates.

Cost: free.
