The cheapest Twitter / X API for developers and AI agents. $0.001 per call, 45 endpoints, no subscription, no Twitter API key.
GetXAPI is a pay-per-call Twitter / X data API for developers and AI agents. It exposes 45 REST endpoints covering reads (search, profiles, follower graph, timeline, bookmarks, direct messages) and writes (post tweets, like, retweet, follow, send direct messages) through a single Bearer-authenticated endpoint at https://api.getxapi.com.
Pricing starts at $0.001 per call, roughly $0.05 per 1,000 tweets fetched. There is no monthly subscription, no enterprise contract, and no Twitter developer-key requirement. You bring your own X session via the auth_token cookie pattern, which means GetXAPI does not need to provision Twitter developer keys on your behalf and you avoid Twitter's per-developer rate limits.
