API Authentication

Every API request requires authentication using an API key in the HTTP headers.

​
Getting Your API Key

  1. Log in to your TwitterXApi Dashboard
  2. Find your API key displayed on the dashboard homepage

​
Using Your API Key

All API requests must include the x-api-key header for authentication. Header format: 
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Example requests:

​
cURL

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.twitterxapi.com/twitter/users?usernames=elonmusk' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'

​
Python

import requests

url = "https://api.twitterxapi.com/twitter/users"

querystring = {"usernames":"elonmusk"}

headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, params=querystring)

print(response.text)

​
JavaScript

const options = {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    Authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
  }
};

fetch('https://api.twitterxapi.com/twitter/users?usernames=elonmusk', options)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(response => console.log(response))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

​
