Pricing and providers

X / Twitter Following API pricing: one API, 2 interchangeable providers

The cheapest provider serves first. If it fails, the next one takes over in the same call.

You pay
$4.50
$0.45/1k req, only for what you use. No monthly plan.
Your first 222 requests are free with the $0.10 starting balance.

requireFieldsarray
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `location`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be absent on a profile that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge. On a paginated walk it applies to the first page only; later pages stay with the source that page chose, at the price it was quoted.

Request body

JSON, posted to this endpoint.

  • usernamestring

    nasa

    The X (Twitter) username to fetch the following list for, without the @ prefix (e.g. elonmusk).

  • cursorstring

    Opaque pagination cursor from a previous response's nextCursor. Omit for the first page; pass it to fetch the next page of followed accounts.

  • limitinteger

    200

    Per-page maximum number of followed accounts to return (default 200). A limit larger than the native page still returns at most one native page; follow the response's nextCursor for more.

  • requireFieldsarray

    Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `location`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price.

On a paginated walk it applies to the first page only; later pages stay with the source that page chose, at the price it was quoted.

FAQ

About the X / Twitter Following API

The AnyAPI X / Twitter Following API returns X / Twitter following data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/twitter.following. List the accounts a public X (Twitter) account follows by username with cursor pagination. Limit is a per-page maximum; follow the response's nextCursor for more. AnyAPI routes each request across 2 sources and falls back automatically when one fails. It costs from $0.45 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 99.8% of X / Twitter following calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 1.5 seconds across 13,214 measured calls.

It costs from $0.45 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet and each call draws it down. Some failed wallet-funded requests incur processing charges that we pass through at cost, with no markup; the error response shows the amount charged.

List the accounts a public X (Twitter) account follows by username with cursor pagination. Limit is a per-page maximum; follow the response's nextCursor for more. The response is normalized JSON with the same envelope every AnyAPI endpoint returns, so parsing a second endpoint is a change of URL and nothing else.

Over the last 30 days, 99.8% of X / Twitter following calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 1.5 seconds across 13,214 measured calls. These are AnyAPI's own measurements of traffic through the gateway, recomputed continuously, not a published service-level target.

Yes. A new AnyAPI account starts with $0.10 of free balance and no card required, which covers 222 X / Twitter Following calls at $0.00045 each.

AnyAPI asks the next of its 2 sources in the same request, cheapest first, so one source going down does not fail your call.

Send a POST request to https://api.getanyapi.com/v1/run/twitter.following with your AnyAPI key in an "Authorization: Bearer" header and the input as a JSON body. The same key and the same wallet work on every AnyAPI endpoint.

No. You add US dollars to one prepaid AnyAPI balance and each request draws it down. There is no monthly plan and no minimum, and the same balance pays for every AnyAPI endpoint.

Yes. Install @getanyapi/sdk from npm for TypeScript or getanyapi from pip for Python. Both call every AnyAPI endpoint with the same key, and any HTTP client works too.

Yes. An agent can connect to the AnyAPI MCP server at https://api.getanyapi.com/mcp, or create its own free-trial key with one unauthenticated POST to https://api.getanyapi.com/agent/signup and call this endpoint over HTTP.
