FAQ

About the X / Twitter Thread API

The AnyAPI X / Twitter Thread API returns X / Twitter thread data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/twitter.thread. Resolve the linear self-thread containing an X (Twitter) post, from its root through the author's linked continuations. This excludes replies from other users. AnyAPI returns one normalized schema whichever source serves it. It costs from $2.69 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Over the last 30 days, 99.1% of X / Twitter thread calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 2.8 seconds across 4,637 measured calls.

It costs from $2.69 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.

Resolve the linear self-thread containing an X (Twitter) post, from its root through the author's linked continuations. This excludes replies from other users. 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, 99.1% of X / Twitter thread calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 2.8 seconds across 4,637 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 37 X / Twitter Thread calls at $0.00269 each.

Send a POST request to https://api.getanyapi.com/v1/run/twitter.thread 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.
