Real-Time X (Twitter) Activity Tracker Bot

Approach

Asynchronous polling, exponential backoff, and Redis caching to consume the X (Twitter) API reliably and avoid rate limits.

Technical Insight

To handle the volatile nature of social media APIs, implement a Circuit Breaker pattern. If the X API returns multiple 429 (Too Many Requests) errors, the bot should automatically "trip the breaker" and pause requests for a set interval to prevent a permanent IP ban.
