I built xAPIs.dev because the official X API pricing killed my side project.
X's current pricing: Basic is $200/month for 10K tweets. Pro is $5,000/month for 1M tweets. Enterprise starts at $42,000/month.
xAPIs.dev pricing: Free tier with 10 calls for testing. Pro at $9.99/month for 10K calls. Lifetime deal at $199.99 one-time for 20K calls/month.
No Twitter Developer account needed. No OAuth setup. Just a simple API key.
47+ endpoints covering: user profiles, followers, tweets, comments, retweets, full-text search, trending topics, Lists, Communities, and Spaces.
Built this for indie devs, researchers, and startups who need Twitter data without enterprise budgets. Free tier requires no credit card.
Happy to answer any questions.
I can't agree more. The X API pricing definitely pushed many indie devs toward client-side solutions instead. Curious how you handle rate limiting on your end. Have you run into any issues with X blocking requests or shadow ban?
Godspeed! Adversarial Interoperability is a Digital Human Right. In an ideal world lawyers would be lining up to offer you free legal defense. Alas that is only for the YC company that builds something off your work.
what's wrong with scraping public data ?
Absolutely nothing in my opinion. That is not the case for the lowlife scum lawyers who work for these evil megacorps.
Interesting pricing contrast. How are you thinking about sustainability as usage scales compared to X’s per-tweet pricing?
