TwitterAPIs is a pay-per-call Twitter API (X API) for developers who need tweets, user profiles, followers and search results as clean JSON, without applying for an X developer account or signing a monthly contract. Get an API key from the dashboard and make your first call in minutes.
Twitter API pricing that stays predictable
Standard calls cost $0.0008 and return about 20 tweets, which works out to roughly $0.04 per 1,000 tweets. For comparison, reads on the official X API run $5 to $10 per 1,000 tweets. Premium endpoints are priced openly: DMs and tweet creation $0.0016, full user history $0.0024, full thread $0.004.
$0.50 in free credits on signup, no card required (about 625 standard calls)
Credits never expire, no minimum spend, no subscription
Pay by card or crypto (crypto adds 2% bonus credits)
What you can do with it
Twitter scraper alternative: advanced tweet search, user timelines, replies, quotes, retweeters and full threads through a stable REST API instead of a fragile scraper
User and follower data: profiles by handle or ID, followers, following, verified followers, likes, media and mentions
Monitor Twitter accounts in real time: set up monitors and get new tweets delivered to your webhook
Write actions: post tweets, reply, retweet, like, follow, bookmark, send DMs and schedule posts
Lists, communities, trends and Spaces endpoints for research and social listening
Built for developers and AI agents
Every endpoint is plain REST with JSON responses, so it works from Python, Node.js or any HTTP client. TwitterAPIs also ships an MCP server, so Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients can query X data directly.
Common use cases: social listening, brand and competitor monitoring, sentiment analysis, lead generation, research datasets, AI agents and posting automation.
