Twitter (X) APIs

After the official X API moved to high-priced tiers, most teams reach for a third-party Twitter API instead. The APIs here return tweets, user profiles, follower lists, search results and media through ordinary REST endpoints.

Pricing is per request or per result rather than per seat or per contract, so a small monitoring job stays cheap and a large backfill is predictable. Try any endpoint in the playground before you subscribe.

Twitter / X APIs — frequently asked questions

Is there a cheaper alternative to the official X API?

The Twitter/X APIs on this marketplace are independent providers priced per request or per returned result, with free tiers and pay-as-you-go options. For most monitoring and research workloads that is substantially cheaper than the official paid tiers.

What data can I get?

Coverage varies by provider, but typically: tweet lookup and search, user profiles, followers and following, timelines, replies, and media URLs. The exact endpoint list is on each API page.

Can I get real-time tweets?

Several providers advertise near-real-time availability after a post goes live. Latency claims are stated on the individual API pages, and you can measure it yourself in the playground.
