# TwitterXAPI API reference

REST API for X data: profiles, timelines, followers, posts, threads, search, Lists, trends and communities. JSON over HTTPS.

## Authentication

- Base URL: `https://twitterxapi.com/api`. REST routes are under `/v1`. The MCP server is `https://twitterxapi.com/api/mcp`.
- Send `Authorization: Bearer $TWITTERXAPI_KEY` on every request. Read the key from the `TWITTERXAPI_KEY` environment variable; never hard-code it or print it.
- Get a key at https://twitterxapi.com/dashboard/ (sign in with Google).

## First request

```sh
curl "https://twitterxapi.com/api/v1/users/marclou" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TWITTERXAPI_KEY"
```

## Conventions

- Response levels: `?level=moderate` (default, stable camelCase fields), `contentful` (compact text-first records, no numeric IDs, has `url`), `raw` (X's GraphQL response unchanged, no `pagination` object). All levels cost the same.
- Collections return one page: `{ "items": [...], "count": n, "pagination": { "next_cursor": "...", "has_more": true } }`. Pass `next_cursor` back unchanged as `cursor` (URL-encoded) until `has_more` is false or the cursor is empty. There is no page-size parameter; sending `limit` to a live route returns `400 limit_removed`.
- Keep X IDs as strings. Deduplicate by ID when paging live data.
- Errors: JSON `{ "error": { "code", "message", "requestId" } }`. Branch on `error.code`. 400 fix the request, 401 bad key, 402 add credit, 404 not found or not public, 429 and 5xx retry with backoff (honour `Retry-After`).
- Billing: prepaid credit. Collections are charged per record returned, single lookups $0.001 each. Failed requests are refunded.

## Queued jobs

For many pages of one account's posts or one search, queue a job and download one gzipped NDJSON file.

- `POST /v1/jobs` with JSON `{"operation":"user_tweets","username":"marclou","limit":500}` or `{"operation":"search","query":"from:marclou since:2026-01-01","limit":500}`. Optional `level`. Returns `202` with the job record.
- `GET /v1/jobs/{jobId}` to poll. `status`: queued, running, succeeded, failed, cancelled. A succeeded job has `resultUrl` (expires; poll again for a fresh link).
- `DELETE /v1/jobs/{jobId}` cancels and returns the reserved credit.
- Needs at least $1 of available balance (`402 queued_balance_too_low`). You pay for delivered records only.
