Pricing and providers

X / Twitter Search users API pricing: one API, 3 interchangeable providers

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

You pay
$7.00
$0.70/1k req, only for what you use. No monthly plan.
Your first 142 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.

    ai agents

    Keyword to match against X (Twitter) handles, display names, and profile bios. This is the People tab of X search: pass a topic ('ai agents'), a name ('Elon Musk'), or a handle ('openai') and get back accounts, not posts. Use twitter.search for posts.

  • 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.

FAQ

About the X / Twitter Search users API

The AnyAPI X / Twitter Search users API returns X / Twitter search users data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/twitter.search_users. Search X (Twitter) accounts by keyword - the People tab of X search. Matches handles, display names, and profile bios, and returns normalized profile records with follower, following, and post counts plus cursor pagination. Use twitter.search for posts. AnyAPI routes each request across 3 sources and falls back automatically when one fails. It costs from $0.70 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 99.4% of X / Twitter search users calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 1.3 seconds across 29,398 measured calls.

It costs from $0.70 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.

Search X (Twitter) accounts by keyword - the People tab of X search. Matches handles, display names, and profile bios, and returns normalized profile records with follower, following, and post counts plus cursor pagination. Use twitter.search for posts. 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, 99.4% of X / Twitter search users calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 1.3 seconds across 29,398 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 142 X / Twitter Search users calls at $0.0007 each.

AnyAPI asks the next of its 3 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.search_users 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.
