GetXAPI Pricing

On pay-as-you-go credits, each API call costs $0.001 and returns ~20 tweets, making the effective cost $0.00005 per tweet, that's $0.05 per 1,000 tweets. This is 3x cheaper than twitterapi.io ($0.15/1K tweets) and 100x cheaper than the official X API ($5-$10/1K tweets). Subscription plans lower the effective per-call rate further with a fixed monthly call quota.

The official X API charges $0.005-$0.010 per resource (1 tweet per request). GetXAPI charges $0.001 per call and returns ~20 tweets. That's $0.05 per 1,000 tweets on GetXAPI vs $5-$10 on the official API, 100x cheaper.

No minimum spend, and subscriptions are optional. Pay-per-call works on its own. Buy credits starting at $10 (10 credits, ~10,000 standard calls / ~200,000 tweets) and they never expire. If you prefer a monthly credit allowance at a lower effective rate, optional subscription plans are available too.

Every new GetXAPI account gets $0.10 in free credits with no credit card required. At $0.001 per call (~20 tweets per call), that covers approximately 100 API calls or ~2,000 tweets, enough to test every endpoint, validate response schemas, and build a working prototype before committing to any spend. Credits never expire.

With a GetXAPI Monitoring plan you register any public X (Twitter) account and every new tweet is pushed to your server as an HMAC-signed webhook POST within seconds, 15-second detection on the standard tier, 2-second on fast. No polling, no cron jobs, no last-seen-ID bookkeeping: you add a monitor, point it at your webhook URL, and tweets arrive as structured JSON with author, reply and quote flags. Plans start at $19/month for 6 monitored accounts and scale to 150+.

Yes, monitoring is a practical replacement for the official X filtered stream, which is gated to the enterprise tier. Instead of holding open a streaming connection with reconnect and backfill logic, GetXAPI watches the accounts you choose and streams new tweets to you as webhook POSTs: at-least-once delivery, ordered per account, retried with exponential backoff for up to 21 minutes if your endpoint is down. You get firehose-style push latency (2-15 seconds) scoped to the accounts you actually care about, at a flat monthly price.

For anything programmatic, yes. Twitter RSS feeds poll on an interval and typically lag minutes behind, and most tweet tracker tools only show tweets in their own dashboard. A monitoring webhook pushes the full tweet as JSON to your own server within 2-15 seconds of it being posted, so you can act on it in code: store it, filter it, forward it, or trigger downstream automation. Monitoring follows the account's permanent ID, so it keeps working even if the account changes its handle.

GetXAPI costs $0.05 per 1,000 tweets. twitterapi.io costs $0.15 per 1,000 tweets. Both return ~20 tweets per call. GetXAPI is 3x cheaper.

Yes. New accounts get $0.1 in free credits at signup, no credit card required. That covers ~100 API calls (~2,000 tweets). After that, you pay per call with no monthly fees.

Both cover the same endpoints, and both are spent in credits at each endpoint's real cost (most reads are $0.001 per call, ~20 tweets). Top-up credits are pay-as-you-go: they never expire and you buy them whenever you want. A subscription instead grants plan credits each month at a lower effective rate, for example $15/month for 30 credits (~30,000 standard calls) works out to about $0.0005 per call, roughly 50% cheaper. Unused plan credits stack on every renewal or plan change and remain available while the plan stays active; they expire only if the plan lapses. Plan credits are spent before your top-up wallet. Choose top-ups for flexibility, a subscription for steady monthly volume.

GetXAPI at $0.05 per 1,000 tweets is the cheapest mainstream paid Twitter API in 2026, about 3x cheaper than twitterapi.io ($0.15/1K), 5-8x cheaper than Apify scrapers ($0.25-$0.40/1K), and ~100x cheaper than the official X API standard read rate.

Monitoring is a flat monthly subscription, separate from per-call API credits: Starter $19/month for 6 accounts ($3.17 per account), Growth $59 for 20 ($2.95), Professional $119 for 50 ($2.38), Enterprise $249 for 150 ($1.66). There are no per-tweet charges, webhook deliveries and retries are never billed, and monitoring uses zero API credits. Pay by card (auto-renews, cancel anytime) or with crypto as a 30-day pass that includes bonus monitor slots. Polling the same 20 accounts every 15 seconds yourself would burn ~115,000 API calls a day, so the flat plan is dramatically cheaper for real-time tracking.

Yes, that is exactly what monitoring webhooks are. Each new tweet from a monitored account triggers a signed HTTPS POST to your endpoint, which makes it trivial to build tweet alerts into Slack, Discord or Telegram bots, trading signal pipelines, CRM lead routing, or news feeds. Every request carries an HMAC-SHA256 signature and a stable delivery ID for deduplication, and a test-webhook endpoint lets you verify your integration before real traffic depends on it.

Standard monitors detect new tweets in about 15 seconds; the fast tier (Growth plan and above) detects in about 2 seconds, and you choose the tier per monitor. Monitoring never touches your credit balance: the subscription covers everything, management endpoints are not billed per call, and tweet deliveries are never rate limited no matter how often a monitored account posts. Your per-call credits stay reserved for read endpoints like search, timelines and profiles.
