Data APIs / X (Twitter)
Profiles, post timelines, single posts with their threads, and replies from X — formerly Twitter — with likes, reposts, views, media, and quoted posts, without X's paid API or a logged-in account. Endpoints live under /social/x; "X" and "Twitter" mean the same platform everywhere in the docs.

4 endpoints in this family. Full parameter reference and a try-it console are in the API docs.
/api/v1/social/x/profile1 creditX (formerly Twitter) profile: followers, following, post and media counts, bio, website, location, join date, verification type, and the "based in" country from X's About-this-account panel. No X API key or login. "X" and "Twitter" refer to the same platform throughout.
/api/v1/social/x/tweets1 creditOne page (about 20) of an X (Twitter) account's posts, newest first, pinned post first — text, media, likes, reposts, replies, quotes, bookmarks, views, quoted posts, and reposts. Pass the returned next_cursor as cursor for the next page (each page is one credit).
/api/v1/social/x/tweet1 creditOne X (Twitter) post with full engagement counts, media, the quoted post if any, and the author's own unrolled thread (1/n, 2/n, …). X Articles (long-form posts) come with their full body as article (markdown, text, images) and are rendered in the markdown output. Accepts a post id or an x.com/<handle>/status/<id> URL.
/api/v1/social/x/replies1 creditReplies from other users to an X (Twitter) post, as structured posts with author, engagement, and replying_to so you can rebuild the tree. The original post is included on the first page. Paginate with next_cursor. X hides some low-quality replies from logged-out viewers, so fewer replies than the post's reply count is normal.
Pull a competitor's posts weekly and let your agent summarise launches, offers, and tone.
Read the replies to a launch post to see how the market actually reacted.
Check followers, verification, account age, and where an account is really based.
Get Instagram profile data by username: followers, following, bio, verification, links, and avatar. No login, no Graph API approval. JSON + markdown.
TikTok profile stats and TikTok Shop product, seller, store, and category data — exact units sold, stock, and prices — as JSON and markdown. No API key.
Facebook page details (likes, follows, category, contact info) and every active ad from the Meta Ad Library for a page, as JSON and markdown. No Graph API token.
No card required. Run any endpoint from the Playground, then create an API key when you are ready to automate.
