# X (Twitter) API skill
Read public X (formerly Twitter) data as clean JSON. This Twitter API skill returns post statistics, profiles, a user's tweets, the tweets in a list, keyword search — and, less commonly available, transcripts and AI summaries of the video attached to a post.
X's own API pricing pushed a lot of people off the platform's data entirely. These endpoints start at 1 credit, which makes ordinary reads viable again.
This skill wraps **7 live X (Twitter) endpoints** from the [ScraperSocial](https://scrapersocial.com) API. Public data only, returned as clean JSON.
## When to use this skill
- A user pastes a post URL and wants its engagement numbers or the video transcribed.
- You are tracking what an account posts, or monitoring a keyword.
- You are researching a profile's reach and posting pattern.
- You need the tweets from a curated list as a monitoring feed.
### Do not use this skill when
- **You need real-time streaming.** These are point queries, not a firehose.
- **You need to post, reply or DM.** Read-only.
- **You need protected accounts or deleted posts.** Public data only.
- **A link appears in passing** with no question attached — `get_transcript.js` at 7 credits and `get_summary.js` at 9 are not calls to make speculatively.
