About GetXAPI

GetXAPI is a pay-per-call data API for Twitter/X, providing access to tweets, user profiles, followers, following, media, direct messages, lists, and search results across 73 supported endpoints. It requires no official X developer account or app approval process; users sign in with Google or email to generate an API key. Pricing is usage-based, with most endpoints costing $0.001 per call (approximately 20 tweets per call) and DM endpoints costing $0.002 per call, with no subscription required and no per-endpoint rate quotas or 15-minute rate-limit windows. Optional monthly plans are also available.

The service includes a real-time monitoring feature that watches selected X accounts and delivers new tweets to a user's server as HMAC-signed webhook POST requests within about 2 seconds on its fast tier, priced from $19/month. It also provides an MCP server (installable via npx) that lets AI agents and tools such as Claude and Cursor use the API through native tools for search, users, followers, posting, and DMs. Additional free tools listed include a Twitter Viewer, Twitter ID Finder, Shadowban Checker, Fake Follower Checker, and Username Checker.

The API stores only a user's email and name, does not retain X/Twitter credentials or tokens used for POST endpoints, and encrypts traffic over HTTPS. New accounts receive $0.10 in free credits without requiring a credit card, sufficient for roughly 100 API calls or about 2,000 tweets. The product is aimed at developers and researchers building applications or pipelines on Twitter/X data, and describes itself as an independent third-party service not affiliated with X.
