cheapxapi

cheapxapi is a third-party REST API and hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Twitter (X) public data retrieval and authenticated account actions. Pricing follows a flat pay-as-you-go rate of $0.0006 per API request ($0.60 per 1,000 calls), regardless of whether a single request returns one user profile, a page of up to 20 tweets, or a page of up to 100 followers. Because search endpoints return up to 20 tweets per page, retrieving 1,000 tweets from search costs approximately $0.03.

Read endpoints cover full-featured tweet search supporting standard X query operators (such as from:, to:, since:, until:, filter:replies, min_faves:, and boolean clauses), individual tweet and long-form article lookup, user profiles by handle or numeric ID, user timelines, follower and following lists with cursor pagination, tweet replies, quote tweets, retweeters, curated X Lists, and X Communities.

For workflows that require write operations, cheapxapi also supports authenticated account actions — including publishing posts, replying to threads, liking, retweeting, following, and sending direct messages — executed on behalf of an X account that the developer logs in.

Billing requires no monthly subscription plan or minimum commitment: developers top up prepaid credit balances that never expire, and new accounts receive a $1 promotional credit upon sign-up with no payment card required.

AI agents and IDE assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and custom MCP clients can connect directly to the remote HTTP MCP endpoint at https://api.cheapxapi.com/mcp (published in the Official MCP Registry under namespace com.cheapxapi/mcp), while standard HTTP integrations can inspect the OpenAPI specification at https://api.cheapxapi.com/openapi.json and machine-readable documentation at https://cheapxapi.com/llms.txt.
