Frequently Asked Questions

What does Readybot do with my authentication token?

A signed in X.com user account is required to update feeds. Readybot stores your token securely and uses it to access X on your behalf. Readybot will only make requests to read user profiles and tweets from users configured in the Feed Bot.

Is it secure to share my authentication token?

Readybot.io will never share your token with other parties. You may also create a new X.com user account for this purpose.
