Why teams move off the official X (Twitter) API.

Approval queues, quotas, and brittle scrapers stand between your agents and X (Twitter) data. SocialiQ removes them.

Free tier is essentially write-only

X killed real free read access in 2023. The free tier is now built for posting, not pulling data — tiny caps and effectively no search or timeline reads, so it can't power analysis, monitoring, or an AI agent that needs to read the timeline.

Basic reads ~10k posts, then you're stuck

Basic runs about $100–200/month for roughly 10,000 post reads — gone in a single backfill. The next real read tier, Pro, jumps to around $5,000/month, and Enterprise starts near $42,000. There's nothing in between for indie builders.

Scrapers break on every layout change

Rolling your own means rotating proxies, dodging blocks, and rewriting parsers each time X ships a UI change. It's brittle infrastructure that steals focus from the product you're actually trying to build.

Every X (Twitter) surface, one endpoint shape.

Real X (Twitter) coverage on SocialiQ — each capability is a single normalized REST call.

Post search

Search X posts by query, sorted by top or latest, returned as normalized JSON for monitoring and research.

GET/v1/twitter/posts/search

Get a tweet

Fetch any single tweet by ID with normalized text, stats, and author fields in one call.

GET/v1/twitter/posts/{id}

Replies & reposters

Pull a tweet's comment thread and the accounts that reposted it to map conversation and reach.

GET/v1/twitter/posts/{id}/comments

User profile & posts

Get any public X profile by handle, then page through that user's posts as clean JSON.

GET/v1/twitter/users/{handle}/posts

Followers & following

List a public account's followers and the accounts it follows for audience and network mapping.

GET/v1/twitter/users/{handle}/followers

Trending searches

Read what's trending on X right now to surface topics and signals for your agents.

GET/v1/twitter/trends

One request

Call X (Twitter), get normalized JSON.

Authenticate with a single SocialiQ key and hit one REST endpoint. The response is the same envelope you get on every platform — so your agents parse X (Twitter) exactly like the rest.

[ .JS ]
const res = await fetch(  "https://api.socialiq.dev/v1/twitter/posts/search?q=ai%20agents&sort=top&limit=20",  {    headers: { Authorization: "Bearer sc_live_..." }  });// Top 20 X posts for the query, as normalized JSONconst { data, page, source } = await res.json();

Built for agents, not approval queues.

Point your agents at one endpoint and ship — SocialiQ runs the upstream access, retries, and normalization for X (Twitter).

One key, no $5k tier

Skip Basic's 10k-read ceiling and the $5,000/month Pro jump. Sign up, grab a single SocialiQ key, and start reading X data immediately with usage-based pricing that scales with real workload.

Normalized JSON, every platform

Tweets, profiles, replies, and followers come back in the same predictable shape as the rest of SocialiQ — so one integration pattern covers X and every other source, with no per-endpoint response wrangling.

No scrapers or proxies

We handle the upstream fetching, retries, and parsing. You never manage proxy pools or patch broken selectors — the response is clean, structured data instead of raw HTML.

Agent-ready by design

Predictable routes and consistent fields make every endpoint trivial to expose as a tool for AI agents, analysts, and research pipelines. Point your agent at the route and let it fetch.

X (Twitter) API questions.

What SocialiQ's X (Twitter) API does and how it compares to the official one.

Is this an official X (Twitter) API?

No. SocialiQ is an independent Twitter API alternative. We expose public X data — tweets, search, replies, reposters, profiles, followers, and trends — through one normalized REST API, so you don't need X's official API, a paid Pro or Enterprise tier, or platform credentials.

How is pricing different from the official X API?

X's official read access effectively starts at Basic (~$100–200/month for about 10,000 posts) and jumps to Pro at roughly $5,000/month, with Enterprise near $42,000. SocialiQ is usage-based across every platform on one bill — you pay for the calls you make, with no tier to negotiate and no free-tier write-only trap.

What X (Twitter) data can I fetch?

You can get a tweet by ID, search posts (sorted top or latest), read a tweet's replies and its reposters, get a user profile, and pull that user's posts, media, and replies, plus their followers and following, and read trending searches — all as normalized JSON.

Do I need an X developer account or my own API keys?

No. There's no X developer account, OAuth setup, or platform keys to provision and rotate. You authenticate with a single SocialiQ key and call the twitter endpoints directly — no scrapers or proxies to maintain on your side.
