Pay-per-call Twitter / X API for developers and AI agents. From $0.001 per call, 73 endpoints, no subscription, no X developer account.

GetXAPI is a pay-per-call Twitter / X data API for developers and AI agents. It exposes 73 REST endpoints covering reads (search, profiles, follower graph, timelines, bookmarks, trends, Spaces, direct messages) and writes (post tweets, like, retweet, follow, send direct messages, long-form articles) through a single Bearer-authenticated base URL at https://api.getxapi.com.

Pricing starts at $0.001 per call, roughly $0.05 per 1,000 tweets fetched on typical 20-result calls. There is no monthly subscription and no X developer account to apply for. Read endpoints need only your GetXAPI key in an Authorization: Bearer header. Write endpoints additionally take an X account token that you supply, so there is no OAuth app, no PKCE flow and no refresh loop to maintain.

Official X figures are from the current public pricing page. X bills reads per resource returned, so one request returning 100 Posts is billed as 100 Post reads.

General service throttling applies to GetXAPI under sustained concurrency and returns HTTP 429, so keep a retry with backoff. There are no per-endpoint quotas or 15-minute windows to plan around.

GetXAPI is a pay-per-call Twitter / X data API for developers and AI agents. It provides 73 REST endpoints for reading and writing Twitter / X data, starting at $0.001 per call.

The official X API uses prepaid pay-per-usage pricing and bills reads per resource returned, at $0.005 per Post read, and requires an approved developer account. GetXAPI is $0.001 per call where a standard call returns about 20 posts, with no developer account. Read more in the GetXAPI documentation.

GetXAPI is 3x cheaper per 1,000 tweets ($0.05 vs $0.15). The two price on different units, so per 1,000 tweets is the only like-for-like comparison: GetXAPI bills per call at $0.001 for about 20 posts, while twitterapi.io bills per 1,000 items returned. GetXAPI also publishes its full OpenAPI 3.1 spec at docs.getxapi.com/openapi.json.

No. Read endpoints authenticate with your GetXAPI key alone. Write endpoints additionally take an X account token that you supply, so there is no OAuth app to register and no developer-account application.

There is no endpoint-specific quota and no 15-minute window to plan around. General service throttling still applies, so sustained concurrency can return HTTP 429. Wrap long-running jobs in a retry with backoff.

Any language with an HTTP client. The API is REST and JSON with Bearer-token authentication. See the Quick start section above for curl, Python, Node, Go and Rust examples.

Every signup gets $0.10 in free credit, no credit card required. The two account endpoints (me, payments) are free to call.

api.getxapi.com is the canonical base URL. The OpenAPI spec is at docs.getxapi.com/openapi.json.
