No. xfetch is a stable HTTP read API with normalized response shapes and provider-neutral contracts. Your code targets xfetch endpoints, not raw HTML pages, and the public contract doesn't shift under you.

Is xfetch a Twitter API alternative?

Yes. Build on /v1 — workflow endpoints like profile lookup, tweet context, and enriched search that return normalized JSON. If you already have official X API read code, /2 keeps a focused 14-endpoint read subset familiar while you migrate — no writes, media, or streaming. Both run on credits with no enterprise contract.

Yes. Each request reads current X/Twitter source data at request time and returns xfetch's normalized public response shapes. Public errors use stable codes, and service-side failures are not charged.

What if my volume grows beyond the published plans?

Monthly plans go up to Scale at $349/mo for 6 million credits and 2,400 req/min (~40 QPS). For anything bigger, get in touch at hello@xfetch.io.

Can I evaluate before signing up?

The API reference shows live request/response samples per endpoint. /openapi.json is machine-readable. Sign in with Google to run real requests against your own API key in the dashboard playground.

What do preview monitor slots include?

Preview monitor slots are included with monthly plans. xfetch POSTs signed tweet.created deliveries when selected accounts publish. Deliveries are retried on failure, and you can read full history any time from the same /v1 endpoints you already use.

WORKFLOW API LIVE

X/Twitter data API for search, profiles, timelines, audience graph, and tweet context

xfetch is a Twitter API alternative for developers: stable read endpoints, workflow-shaped /v1 APIs that return normalized JSON for AI and agent pipelines, and predictable credits for successful calls.

Build X/Twitter data features on /v1 — one call returns the finished shape, ready to drop into RAG, agents, and classifiers.
