TwitterAPI.io
TwitterAPI.io is an independent provider of X data for developers and AI agents. Its REST API offers public post, profile, search and follower lookups. The hosted MCP endpoint gives compatible clients access to read tools using a TwitterAPI.io key.
THE SELECTION NOTE
Why it’s here
It offers two ways to retrieve the same kind of public X data. REST fits code that needs explicit request parameters and pagination. Hosted MCP fits a compatible agent that can call a documented read tool.
Who it fits
Developers and agent builders who need public X data in a defined workflow.
A task to try: Compare one scoped lookup with your workflow
- Pick a public account or a narrow search query you can verify on X.
- Choose REST for a scripted request or the hosted MCP setup for your client.
- Check the returned identifiers, result count and credit usage before expanding the query or turning on pagination.
Where to be careful
Check the endpoint pricing before enabling repeated searches. Agent calls and paginated requests can increase usage, and a search result alone does not establish full coverage.
