x402-social-media-data (Python)

Social media data API for AI agents: social listening on X (Twitter), Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Threads, LinkedIn, Bluesky and Hacker News, plus Facebook ads, cross-platform search and mentions. Public posts, profiles, comments, transcripts and search. 26 routes, $0.01 to $0.025 per call, paid per request with x402 (USDC on Base). No API key, no signup.

This is the Python client for https://social.duoleads.com. It is also part of duo-data-utilities (as DuoClient(...).social); this package has the social client only and does not depend on it. TypeScript: x402-social-media-data on npm.

Install

pip install x402-social-media-data

Python 3.10 or later. eth-account (installed with it) creates the wallet account that pays.

Quick start

import os

from eth_account import Account
from x402_social_media_data import SocialClient

# Your wallet holds USDC on Base. Read the key from the environment, never a literal.
client = SocialClient(Account.from_key(os.environ["PAYER_KEY"]))

posts = client.bluesky_search(q="x402", limit=10)          # $0.01
stories = client.hackernews_search(q="x402")               # $0.01
tweets = client.x_search(q="x402 payments")                # $0.02
everywhere = client.social_search(q="x402")                # $0.025, several platforms in one call

Every route is a GET; each method pays the 402 challenge with your wallet and returns the JSON answer as a dict. Method names are the route paths in snake_case (/v1/x/search is x_search). SOCIAL_ROUTES lists all 26 routes with price and MCP tool. client.call_with_receipt(path, params) also returns the settlement receipt.

Price guard

Before anything is signed, the client checks the payment requirement: Base USDC only, only to the service's address 0xCD673f7e1daD254347AEab6be0DEFe8b9C6b3A39, and never above the cap. By default each route is capped at its own listed price ($0.01, $0.02 or $0.025); SocialClient(account, max_price_usd=0.01) allows the $0.01 routes only. A refused call signs nothing and raises PriceGuardError. The client never retries a paid call on its own.

Errors and charges

A bad input is a free 400; not found or no match is not charged. Both raise DuoApiError with code, param, expected and request_id.

Responsible use
