Questions.
What counts as one call?
One HTTP request to any endpoint is one call, billed at $0.0006. Paginated results are fetched one page per call, so a followers page with up to 100 profiles is still a single call.
Do some endpoints cost more?
No. Every endpoint is billed at the same $0.0006 per call.
Can I post, like, retweet or follow through the API?
No. cheapxapi is read-only: tweet data, user profiles and the relationship graph. There are no write endpoints.
How many followers or follower IDs does one call return?
The followers endpoint returns up to 100 full user profiles per page. The follower IDs endpoint returns up to 200 IDs per call. Both paginate with a cursor.
How does cheapxapi compare with official X API pricing?
The official X API pay-per-usage plan charges per resource returned: $0.01 per user and $0.01 per follower. cheapxapi charges $0.0006 per call, so a page of 100 followers costs $0.0006 instead of $1.00 at official list price.
Is there a monthly fee or minimum commitment?
No. You top up credits and each call draws from your balance. There is no subscription to cancel, and purchased credits do not expire.
Is cheapxapi affiliated with X Corp?
No. cheapxapi is not a product of X Corp and has no partnership with it. It reads data that is publicly visible on X.
