See what our customers say about ScrapeBadger Twitter API.
“We switched from the official Twitter API and cut our costs by 95%. The pagination is seamless, and we've never hit a rate limit. Best decision we made this year.”
“The follower and engagement endpoints are incredibly detailed. We use it for influencer research and competitor analysis. Response times are sub-100ms consistently.”
“Started with the Apify actor, then moved to the API for more control. The 1,000 free credits were enough to build our MVP. Now processing 2M+ tweets monthly.”
“Perfect for academic research. The community and trends endpoints give us data we couldn't get anywhere else. Documentation could use more examples, but support is responsive.”
“We monitor 50,000+ accounts for our clients. ScrapeBadger handles it without breaking a sweat. The bulk ID endpoints are a game-changer for large-scale monitoring.”
“The geo and trends endpoints power our location-based analytics. Setup took 10 minutes. Their Apify actors are also great for quick one-off scrapes.”
Start with pay-as-you-go credits (never expire) or save up to 64% with a monthly or annual subscription. Failed requests never consume credits, and the exact charge is returned in the X-Credits-Used response header.
Every endpoint uses the same model: 1 base credit + 1 credit per item returned. Single-item lookups always cost 2 credits. Paginated list endpoints cost 1 + the number of items in the page. Failed requests cost 0 credits.
