Official X API pricing vs SearchX

The official X API charges per request at enterprise-tier list rates. SearchX is pay-as-you-go: load credits with ETH, call the same data endpoints, and pay only for what you actually use — typically 3× to 80× less per operation depending on the endpoint.

~80×

Cheaper reads

Profile and tweet lookups cost a fraction of official X API list pricing. On SearchX, the same $10 pay-as-you-go budget covers roughly 80,000 reads — versus 1,000 on the official API.

Pay with ETH

Top up credits directly on-chain. You only pay for successful requests — no monthly minimum, no annual contract, and no sales call required to get started.

API keys

Separate test and live environments with sx_test_ and sx_live_ keys. Create, rotate, and revoke credentials from the dashboard whenever you need to.

Estimates for illustration. Actual per-request cost may vary by endpoint, cache hit, and volume. No enterprise contract required.

Zero query retention

We do not store your search terms or request payloads. Only anonymized usage metadata — endpoint, timestamp, credit cost — is kept for billing, rate limits, and your dashboard logs.

Smart caching

Repeated lookups hit a short-lived cache when the data is still fresh. Cache hits cost less and show up separately in Usage — so you can see what you saved on duplicate requests.
