Access Twitter's Real-time & Historical Data with Unmatched Simplicity.

About TwitterApi.IO

TwitterAPI.io is a third-party API providing access to X (Twitter) data and write actions such as posting and liking, positioned as an alternative to the official X API. It offers REST and WebSocket endpoints, covering tweets, users, search, and trends across 75+ endpoints, along with a native MCP server for connecting the data to LLM clients such as Claude, GPT, and Cursor without additional integration code.

Pricing is pay-per-call with no monthly minimum, starting from $0.15 per 1,000 units, with $0.1 in free credits available on signup without a credit card. The service reports median response latency of around 500ms, throughput of 1,000+ requests per second, and 99.99% uptime. It is not affiliated with X Corp.

The service is aimed at developers and AI agent builders needing programmatic access to X data and actions, including use cases such as building bots, academic data collection, and Twitter-bot mention tracking. Support is available via 24/7 live chat, and documentation includes Swagger docs, a Postman collection, and code snippets for REST and WebSocket integration.
