Everything you need to know about GetXAPI
GetXAPI is a Twitter/X data API for fetching tweets, user profiles, followers, following, media, DMs, lists, and search results. It uses pay-per-call pricing with no subscriptions. You can explore all 31 supported endpoints and their costs on the GetXAPI Pricing page.
Yes. New accounts get $0.10 in free credits — no credit card required. At $0.001 per call (~20 tweets each), that covers roughly 100 API calls and ~2,000 tweets. Enough to test any endpoint, validate response schemas, and prototype. Review Twitter free API options, then Sign Up.
No. GetXAPI requires no X developer account and no approval process. Sign in with Google or email, generate an API key instantly, and start making requests — no review, no waiting. The entire setup, from signup to first API call, takes under 2 minutes.
No. GetXAPI does not enforce platform-level rate limits or per-endpoint caps. You can call any endpoint as often as your credits allow. See Twitter API Rate Limits Comparison for how this compares to the official X API.
GetXAPI uses usage-based per-call pricing: most endpoints are $0.001 per call (~20 tweets per call) and DM endpoints are $0.002. That's just $0.05 per 1,000 tweets. Use Twitter API Pricing Comparison and the Twitter API Cost Calculator to estimate your monthly spend.
A Twitter unofficial API works for quick experiments, but scrapers break whenever X changes its frontend, offer no SLA, and require constant maintenance. A managed API like GetXAPI gives structured endpoints and documented behavior for production reliability. See the Twitter unofficial API guide before choosing your stack.
GetXAPI is the cheapest Twitter API at $0.001 per call — roughly 5–10x cheaper than the official X API — with no platform-level rate caps and no monthly tiers. Evaluate alternatives by cost model, rate-limit posture, and integration speed. See Twitter API alternatives for a full comparison.
We only store your email and name. For POST endpoints (tweets, DMs), we never store your X / Twitter credentials — tokens are used in-flight and discarded. All traffic is encrypted over HTTPS, and we never sell or share your data. Read more on our Privacy & Data Handling page.
