xfetch

What is xfetch?

xfetch is a modern X/Twitter data API built for developers who need reliable, structured access to public Twitter data. Instead of wrestling with raw scraping or stitching together multiple endpoints, xfetch delivers normalized JSON through workflow-shaped /v1 APIs. Each call returns a finished data shape—profiles with recent tweets, enriched search results with deduped authors, or tweet context with quotes and retweeters—ready to drop directly into AI pipelines, RAG systems, classifiers, and agents.

Who it's for

• AI/ML engineers building LLM pipelines, RAG applications, or training datasets that need clean, deduped Twitter data without scraping glue or shape drift.
• Social listening and research teams running moderation, trend analysis, or academic studies who require stable read endpoints and predictable credit costs for successful calls.
• Indie developers and SaaS builders creating audience intelligence tools, agent workflows, or data-driven features who want a simple API with 1,000 free credits and no card required to start.

Key features

Workflow-shaped /v1 endpoints

Each endpoint returns a complete, normalized JSON payload in one call. For example, /v1/profiles/by-username/:username delivers profile data plus recent tweets together, eliminating the need for a second lookup. The enriched search endpoint returns tweets alongside a single deduped authors array, ready for embeddings and summarizers.

Machine-readable contracts for agents

xfetch provides /llms.txt and /openapi.json files that agents can read autonomously. An agent can learn available endpoints, parameters, and credit costs on its own, then make API calls without human intervention—ideal for autonomous research and data collection workflows.

Transparent credit-based pricing

Single lookups cost 1 credit, collections start at a base credit plus returned items, and failed calls are never charged. You get 1,000 free credits on sign-in with Google, no credit card required, and PAYG pricing at $0.150 per 1K credits with up to 61% savings on monthly plans.

What stands out

"One call returns the finished shape, ready to drop into RAG, agents, and classifiers."

This is the core differentiator. Most Twitter data APIs force you to stitch together multiple raw endpoints, handle rate limits, and normalize inconsistent response shapes. xfetch eliminates that overhead entirely. The /v1 endpoints are designed around real-world workflows—profile intelligence, enriched search, tweet context—so you spend time building features, not fixing data pipelines.

Worth checking out if…

You're building any application that needs reliable, structured Twitter/X public data without the maintenance burden of scraping or the complexity of stitching multiple API calls. Whether you're powering an AI research tool, a social listening dashboard, or an agent that autonomously gathers audience insights, xfetch gives you clean JSON, predictable credits, and a developer experience that prioritizes getting to production fast.
