Name your product, SDK or API
Your product, its client library, a competitor or the problem you solve. When the name is a common word, add words developers write next to it.
Stack Overflow monitoring for the questions about your product
Every hour, Rumoro finds the new questions and answers on Stack Overflow that mention your product, its SDK or a competitor. It scores each one and sends those that need a reply to Slack, a webhook or your AI agent.

Rumoro searches Stack Overflow every hour
New questions and answers that name the keyword, each scored against how you describe your company. A new keyword starts with the newest 10 from the last 30 days.

The questions that need you reach you
Each alert sets its own relevance bar and filters on sentiment and intent, such as questions, bug reports, comparisons, buying intent, churn or praise, then posts to Slack, Telegram, email, a webhook or your agent.
For support and DevRel
Answer the Stack Overflow questions about your product first
Developers ask about your SDK on Stack Overflow before they open a ticket, and the first good answer is the one others copy. Hearing about each question within the hour lets your team answer from the docs instead of leaving it to a guess.
- Questions about your API, answered while the asker is still stuck
- Answers that recommend an old workaround, corrected before others follow them
- Questions that weigh you against another tool, with the facts added

Stack Overflow alerts
Four recipes for Stack Overflow keyword alerts
What to follow, what Rumoro searches and the alert your team gets. Pick one.
Search or monitor
Stack Overflow search, the Stack Exchange API, or monitoring
Stack Overflow's search and the Stack Exchange API both find posts that name you. Neither tells you when a new one appears. Here is what each leaves to you.

What you get
What Rumoro keeps from each question and answer
Enough to know what was asked and who asked it before you open the post, and plainly what isn't read.
The post
The question's title, an excerpt of the question or answer, the link, when it was posted, its score and, for a question, how many answers it has.
The author
The display name, avatar and reputation, linked to their profile, with every other question or answer they wrote about you.
The links
Every link in the whole question or answer, up to 20, including the ones the excerpt doesn't show.
Not read
Comments under a post, and the full text beyond the excerpt. An answer matches on its own words, never on its question's title alone.
Beyond alerts
Stack Overflow tracking beyond the alert
See how often developers ask about you, get to know the people asking and keep every keyword worth its cost.
Your share of voice
Track competing SDKs next to yours and see which one developers ask about more, week by week.
The developers behind the questions
Everyone who asks or answers about you becomes a person with their reputation, your tags, your notes and every post about you.
Posts that link to you
Links come from the whole post, not just the excerpt. Narrow the feed to your domain and you'll see which answers send developers to your docs.
Questions, answers or both
Follow both, or keep a keyword to new questions so the answers others write don't fill your feed.
Keyword health
See which keywords bring real questions and which mostly bring namesakes, with suggestions on what to exclude.
Needs attention
An hourly check for sudden spikes, a run of negative posts, noisy keywords or a channel that stopped delivering.
Digests for quieter keywords
One daily or weekly round-up in Slack, Telegram or email, for keywords where a few hours make no difference.
Views, filters and export
Filter by sentiment, intent or author, save the view for your team and download it as CSV.
MCP, API, SDKs and CLI
Stack Overflow questions about you, in your agent and your code
Rumoro's MCP server gives Claude, Cursor or Codex the questions and answers that name you, scored and linked. Your agent drafts an answer from your docs for you to post.

Stack Overflow monitoring questions
How do I get notified when someone asks about my product on Stack Overflow?
Create a keyword with the name developers use for your product or its SDK. Rumoro looks for it on Stack Overflow every hour, rates every new question and answer for relevance, sentiment and intent, and delivers the ones that deserve a reply through the alert rules you set, in Slack, Telegram, email, a webhook or your agent.
Does Rumoro use the Stack Exchange API?
It does, through Rumoro's own registered key, which lifts the daily allowance from 300 calls to 10,000. Each search is paced to fit, and if Stack Exchange asks for a pause, the next run goes back over the hours it missed.
Does Rumoro track answers, or only questions?
It tracks both. When an answer mentions you, it arrives on its own with a link straight to it, labelled with the title of the question above it. So an answer giving outdated advice about your SDK is something you hear about, not something you find months later.
How often does Rumoro check Stack Overflow?
Every hour, for each keyword on its own. When you add a keyword, the 10 most recent matching posts from the past month come in straight away, rated the same way.
Can I see which Stack Overflow posts link to my docs?
Yes. Rumoro keeps every link in a question or answer, up to 20, read from the whole post rather than the excerpt. Filter your mentions by your domain to see the posts that point at your docs, your pricing or a tutorial about you.
Does Rumoro show the author's reputation?
Yes. Each question and answer comes with the author's display name, avatar, profile link and reputation, and everyone who writes about you becomes a person you can tag and keep notes on.
How do I search Stack Overflow for questions about my product?
Type your product's name into Stack Overflow's search, then narrow it with operators. is:question keeps questions, is:answer keeps answers, created: limits the dates and url:"yourapp.dev" finds posts that link to your site. That shows what's there when you look. Rumoro runs the search every hour and only sends what's relevant.
Is there a Stack Overflow RSS feed for a keyword?
Not for a keyword. Stack Overflow has a feed for each tag, such as stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/supabase, listing active questions in that tag. Questions about your product often carry no tag of yours, so Rumoro searches for the name itself, in questions and answers alike.
Is there a Stack Overflow MCP server?
Stack Overflow runs one for looking things up. It searches questions and reads posts by id once you sign in with a Stack Overflow account, and allows 100 calls a day per user. Rumoro's MCP server does a different job. It watches for your keywords and gives Claude, Cursor or Codex the new questions and answers about you, scored, next to every other platform.
Why do support teams watch Stack Overflow?
Because developers ask there before they open a ticket, and the first good answer is the one everyone copies. Support and developer relations teams answer from the docs, correct answers that recommend an old workaround, and learn which parts of the product keep confusing people.
Does Rumoro read comments on Stack Overflow?
No. It reads questions and answers. A product named only in a comment won't arrive, though the question or answer it sits under will if it names you too.
Can I get Stack Overflow alerts in Slack?
Yes. Connect Slack once and each alert rule posts matching questions and answers to a channel with the title, the author, the AI relevance score, a note on why it matters and buttons to open it, mark it handled or mute the author.
Do I need a Stack Overflow account or an API key?
No. Rumoro searches with its own key. You don't connect an account or register an app on Stack Apps, and nothing is posted in your name.
Is there a free Stack Overflow monitoring tool?
A new Rumoro account comes with $5.80 of credit and asks for no card, enough for your first keyword for a month and 100 mentions on top. After that it's $5 a keyword a month and $0.008 per match, with no subscription.
How much does Stack Overflow monitoring cost?
$5 per keyword a month, charged by the day, plus $0.008 per matched question or answer, with Stack Overflow included next to every other platform the keyword listens on. There's no subscription to cancel, and the first $5.80 is on us.
