How do I get alerts for new Stack Overflow questions about my tool?

Subscribe to the tag's Atom feed (for example stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/supabase) in any feed reader, or query the Stack Exchange API on a schedule for your keyword. For keyword searches with intent ranking, save an AskHound watch: it covers Stack Exchange and Bluesky and sends new matches to Slack, Discord or a webhook (email digest in beta).

Level select:

    Option 1: tag feeds (free, tags only)

    Every Stack Overflow tag has an Atom feed of active questions: https://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/<tag>. We checked supabase on 2026-10-18: it returns "Active questions tagged supabase", the most recent 30. Add it to a feed reader or a feed-to-email service.

    Limits: tags only (no free-text keywords), and "active" includes old questions with new activity.

    Option 2: the Stack Exchange API (free, keywords)

    GET https://api.stackexchange.com/2.3/search/advanced?order=desc&sort=creation&q=<keyword>&site=stackoverflow

    Run it from cron and email yourself the new question IDs. Anonymous calls share a per-IP daily quota: an anonymous call on 2026-10-18 returned quota_max: 300. Register an app key for a higher quota (see the Stack Exchange API docs).

    Option 3: AskHound watch (keywords + intent, Stack Exchange and Bluesky)

    1. Search your keyword on askhound.haullabs.dev (free: 3 searches a day).
    2. Save it as a watch. Solo ($19/mo) has 3 watches and a daily email digest that is beta and not sending yet. Pro ($49/mo) has 15 watches, Slack, Discord or webhook delivery, and hourly checks (beta).
    3. Agents can manage watches over REST (/api/watches).

    AskHound searches Software Recommendations, Web Applications and Stack Overflow, shows CC BY-SA attribution with a link to the original, and never posts for you.

    Before you reply

    Stack Overflow doesn't allow content generated by generative-AI tools. Answer the question yourself, and disclose your affiliation whenever you mention your own product: Stack Overflow's "How to not be a spammer" page requires it.

    Search free first. A watch re-runs the search on our server and sends only questions you haven't seen yet.

    FAQ

    Can I get email alerts for new Stack Overflow questions?

    Yes. Put a tag's Atom feed into a feed-to-email service, or run a scheduled Stack Exchange API query that emails you. AskHound watches deliver to Slack, Discord or a webhook today; their daily email digest is beta and not sending yet.

    Is there an RSS feed for a Stack Overflow tag?

    Yes: stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/ followed by the tag name returns an Atom feed of active questions in that tag.

    Can I monitor a keyword rather than a tag?

    Yes, with the Stack Exchange API's search/advanced endpoint (the q parameter) or a saved AskHound search.

    Does it cover other Stack Exchange sites?

    The API covers every site in the network through its site parameter. AskHound searches three: Software Recommendations, Web Applications and Stack Overflow.

    Honest-reply policy (built into every tool response): a human approves every public reply; never auto-post or mass-DM; disclose that you build the product; answer the question first and name alternatives; follow each community's rules. Hacker News, for example, does not allow AI-generated or AI-edited comments, so replies there must be written by you. AskHound finds the conversation. You decide whether you have something useful to say.

    Beta, plainly: email digests are in beta and not sending yet: our email sender isn't switched on. A new email watch is saved now and starts sending the day the sender goes live. Slack, Discord and webhooks on Pro deliver today. Hourly checks are in beta too: an external hourly scheduler was added on 2026-10-18, and the label stays until we've confirmed hourly runs in production. Your license key appears right after checkout. Cancel anytime: reply to your Stripe receipt and we cancel it. Full refund within 14 days if it isn't useful to you.
