1The call
curl -H "x-api-key: $SS_KEY" \ "https://api.socialsearchapi.com/v1/x/search?query=cloudflare+workers"
This call costs 3 credits. A new account starts with 50 free credits on any platform: create a key in the dashboard and this command runs as-is.
2Why not build this 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. Maintained third-party access at sustainable per-post pricing is the practical alternative for reading public tweets.
