# TwitterAPI.io

> Real-time X (Twitter) API for developers. Three pillars: a comprehensive REST API for tweets, profiles, and search; a Stream service that pushes second-level real-time tweets from specific X accounts; and a Custom Rules engine that watches X and forwards any tweets matching your keyword or search conditions. All delivered through Webhook or WebSocket. Pay per call, no minimums, no rate-limit ceilings.

## Three core capabilities

### 1. API — comprehensive Twitter data access

The core capability: REST endpoints for everything you can read or write on X (Twitter). Tweet search, advanced search with date and keyword filters, tweet detail and replies, user profiles, follower / following lists, communities, direct messages, lists, spaces, and write actions (post, like, follow, retweet, bookmark). Battle-tested at over 1B production API calls. Reference documentation:

- [API introduction and overview](https://docs.twitterapi.io/introduction)
- [Authentication](https://docs.twitterapi.io/authentication)
- [Tweet endpoints](https://docs.twitterapi.io/) — search, get by id, replies, quote, retweeters, advanced search
- [User endpoints](https://docs.twitterapi.io/) — profile, followers, following, mentions, last tweets, verified followers
- [Write actions](https://docs.twitterapi.io/) — create / delete tweet, like, retweet, follow, bookmark, send DM
- [Communities](https://docs.twitterapi.io/) — create, join, leave, fetch members and moderators

### 2. Stream — real-time monitoring of specific X accounts

Subscribe to a list of X accounts and receive every new tweet, reply, or mention from those accounts within seconds. Delivery via your own Webhook endpoint or a managed WebSocket. No polling, no missed tweets, no rate-limit headaches.

- [Stream product page](https://twitterapi.io/twitter-stream)
- Endpoints: `add_user_to_monitor_tweet`, `get_user_to_monitor_tweet`, `remove_user_to_monitor_tweet`

### 3. Custom Rules push — keyword / condition-based delivery

Define rules with keywords, advanced search syntax, or scheduled conditions. The system watches X (Twitter) continuously and pushes any matching tweets to your Webhook endpoint as they appear.

- Endpoints: `add_webhook_rule`, `get_webhook_rules`, `update_webhook_rule`, `delete_webhook_rule`
