X API for Posts, Profiles, and Trends

Capabilities

Search, profiles, and trends

For monitors and research. Search finds the post. A profile and a trend list are separate calls. There is no sentiment score.

Search

Search returns posts and accounts that match a word, a hashtag, or a phrase. See examples

The account

A profile returns the name, the handle, the follower counts, and the recent timeline. See examples

Trends

Trends are the topics rising in a place. Pass a location and you get the names. See examples

One post

A post id returns the text, the counts, and the media. Replies stay with that post. See examples

Lists

Public lists, their members, and their timelines are a narrower slice than search. See examples

Media

Images and video on a post come back as URLs, when the picture is the point of the call. See examples

Shortened examples

Sample responses

A post, a profile, a trend, and a reply are different objects. The samples are trimmed from the body, and the counts are the ones in the sample. There is no sentiment score in this API.

* Overage stays off until you turn it on in Billing, and only for Stripe card subscriptions. Usage is counted in monthly periods that start on your billing day, yearly plans included. Requests past the included limit are billed after the period ends, up to the cap. If you switch plans during a period, the limit and overage rate of the plan you are on when that period ends apply to the whole period.

Why SteadyAPI

Posts and trends as data

Search, a profile, one post, and a location's trends are separate calls. There is no sentiment score.

Search finds, a post confirms

A search result is enough to choose. The full post is a second call, on the id you kept.

JSON, without a browser

You get JSON. The docs show the call in Shell, JavaScript, PHP, and Python.

Trends are a list

A location's trends come back as names and volumes. There is no sentiment score.

One key, one plan

X uses the SteadyAPI account you already have. The monthly limit is the one on your plan.
