TwiAPI – Unofficial Twitter/X Data API & Python SDK

Get structured Twitter/X data in 3 lines of code. No developer application, no waiting.

PyPI version License: MIT Python 3.8+

TwiAPI is a Python SDK + third‑party Twitter/X data service that gives you instant access to tweets, user profiles, followers, trends, and more – without the official API's approval delays or rate limits. It returns clean, structured JSON so you can start building immediately.

Your App  ──►  TwiAPI  ──►  Clean JSON
             (we handle auth, scraping, parsing)

Works with any language – Python SDK, or call the REST API directly from Node.js, cURL, Go, Java, etc.

Why TwiAPI?

Official Twitter API TwiAPI
Developer application Required (days/weeks) None – get a key instantly
Data format Nested, needs cleaning Structured JSON, ready to use
Rate limits Strict, per-endpoint Flexible per plan
Pricing (monthly) $100+ (Basic) / $5,000+ (Pro) Starting at $7
Endpoints Plan-restricted All 14 available on every plan

Quick Start

1. Install

pip install twiapi

2. Try it now — no API key needed (Demo Mode)

from twiapi import TwiAPI

api = TwiAPI(demo=True)          # ← returns realistic sample data
user = api.get_user("elonmusk")  # Get any user's profile & follower count
print(user["display_name"], user["followers_count"])
# Output: Elon Musk 195000000

Demo mode returns realistic sample data for all 14 methods — user profiles, tweets, followers, trends, etc. No signup, no API key, no network requests.

3. Go live with a real key

Get your key — contact us on Telegram or visit twiapi.net:

api = TwiAPI("YOUR_API_KEY")     # ← swap demo=True for your real key
user = api.get_user("elonmusk")
print(user["display_name"], user["followers_count"])

Using the REST API directly (Node.js, cURL, Go, etc.):

# cURL
curl -G "https://twiapi.net/api/user/info" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "username=elonmusk"
// Node.js
const resp = await fetch(
  "https://twiapi.net/api/user/info?username=elonmusk",
  { headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } }
);
const data = await resp.json();

Response:

{
  "user_id": "44196397",
  "username": "elonmusk",
  "display_name": "Elon Musk",
  "followers_count": 195000000,
  "following_count": 800,
  "is_blue_verified": true,
  "bio": "...",
  "avatar_url": "..."
}

The Python SDK (pip install twiapi) provides simple methods for all 14 endpoints:

Category Method Returns

Authentication

All live requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

The SDK handles this automatically. Get your key at twiapi.net. Free trials available.


Response Format

All endpoints return structured JSON with consistent fields:

  • User objects: user_id, username, display_name, followers_count, following_count, tweets_count, is_blue_verified, avatar_url, bio
  • Tweet objects: tweet_id, text, created_at, user, reply_count, retweet_count, favorite_count, view_count, bookmark_count, hashtags, urls, media
  • List endpoints: cursor-based pagination via next_cursor

No cleaning needed – the data is ready to store or analyze directly.


How It Works

TwiAPI uses a proprietary data pipeline that aggregates publicly available Twitter/X information. We handle session management, IP rotation, and endpoint monitoring behind the scenes so you don't have to maintain any scraping infrastructure.

No official developer account or approval is required on your end. The service is production‑ready.

Please use the service responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws and platform terms of service.


Pricing

Flexible plans starting at $7/month. Free trials are available. All plans include access to all 14 endpoints.
