Features

Why Choose Our Twitter Data API?

Independent third-party API service built for developers and researchers. Get reliable access to public Twitter data without enterprise costs.

Start Free, Scale as You Grow

Start with 100 free API units to test public endpoint categories. No credit card required; add prepaid units or choose a monthly plan when you need more.

Read, Post and DM with One Key

Search, profiles, followers and timelines, plus posts, replies, likes, follows, DMs and encrypted XChat. Account actions use that account's own authorization.

Batch Lookups

Fetch up to 100 profiles or 200 posts in one call, so large lists cost a fraction of one-by-one lookups.

Pay per Call, Not per Result

One call returns a full page of results for one API unit. Server errors are never billed.

TweetAPI is an independent third-party API service for public Twitter/X data and is not affiliated with X Corp. The official X API charges for every resource it returns: $0.005 per post read and $0.010 per user read (checked October 2026). TweetAPI charges per call instead: $0.0005 per call on pay as you go and less on monthly plans, and one call returns a full page of results. So even a call that returns a single post costs a tenth of X's price. One difference: a call that returns nothing still uses one unit, while X charges only for what it returns. New accounts get 100 free API units to try.

TweetAPI gives developers and teams independent third-party access to common public Twitter/X data workflows without the X developer approval flow. Plans include clear monthly quotas, rate limits up to 500 requests per minute, API keys, docs, billing, and usage tracking.

No. TweetAPI (tweetapi.com) and twitterapi.io are separate companies with similar names. TweetAPI charges per call, so a search page costs one unit however many Posts it returns, while twitterapi.io charges for each result returned. Our TweetAPI vs twitterapi.io comparison covers prices, rate limits, and when each one fits.

We started offering our Twitter API on RapidAPI in July 2023. We later launched this website so developers could access the API directly and manage their keys, usage and billing.

Paid plan rate limits range from 60 to 500 requests per minute, with monthly allowances up to 10 million API units. Each plan shows its API unit allowance and rate limit before checkout.

Yes. TweetAPI supports commercial workflows such as analytics dashboards, Twitter/X monitoring tools, and market research platforms. You are responsible for making sure your use complies with applicable laws, platform policies, and TweetAPI terms.

After signup, you can create an API key in the dashboard and start with 100 free API units. The docs include endpoint details and code examples for common integration paths.

No. You only need a TweetAPI account to get started. TweetAPI has its own signup and API key flow, so you do not need a separate X API approval flow to begin building with public Twitter/X data.

You can access public user profiles, tweet/post timelines, followers/following data, tweet/post engagement metrics, search results, lists, communities, and Spaces through our endpoints.

Yes. TweetAPI includes interaction capabilities across all plans. This includes creating tweets/posts, managing engagement, and analyzing performance metrics through secure authentication with proper authorization.

Yes. Support is available by email and Telegram, with priority handling for paid plans and custom enterprise accounts. We can help with integration questions, account issues, and API behavior.

We publish our data practices in the privacy policy and support data access, correction, and deletion requests for eligible users. We collect the information needed to run accounts, billing, support, security, and API usage tracking.
