Search X / Twitter with one API call

Read X / Twitter — search tweets with engagement metrics — without building or maintaining a scraper. Maintained upstream with automatic failover. Same response shape as every other platform here, so one parser handles all of them. 5 credits a call.

The call

curl -H "x-api-key: $SS_KEY" \
  "https://api.socialsearchapi.com/v1/x/search?query=llm+agents"

This call costs 5 credits once you are on credits. A new account gets 5 free calls on any platform — verify an email and this command runs as-is.

Why not just scrape it yourself

X's official API is pay-per-use at roughly $0.005 per post read with the flat tiers closed to new signups, so a search-heavy workload gets expensive fast and reselling it is negative-margin. Scraping x.com directly means solving its request signing and staying logged in.

• Cost here: 5 credits a call, $0.015 at list.
• Last verified 2026-07-25: 2,530ms for this call.
• Coverage: Public tweets only. No protected accounts, no DMs, no deleted posts.
