§ Questions
The honest
answers.
The questions that come up before the first call. If yours isn’t here, the founder reads support email himself — just write in.
Do I need proxies to use the Twitter / X scraper?
No. Every endpoint runs on our residential pool — fifty million IPs sourced through opt-in partner SDKs. You send an HTTP request with your API key; rotation, retries, and anti-bot handling are ours to worry about.
How does HProxy get past Twitter / X’s rate limits and bot detection?
Each call is routed through a residential session that matches typical organic traffic patterns. We don’t advertise specifics; what matters is the result — a 99%+ success rate on public-data endpoints in real customer traffic.
What does the JSON response look like?
Every endpoint returns a flat top-level wrapper (platform, scraper, data, creditsUsed, elapsedMs, requestId) with the parsed Twitter / X entity inside data. See the live example near the top of this page for the exact shape.
Is scraping public Twitter / X data legal?
Public data scraping (no login, no private content, no PII beyond what twitter.com itself publishes) sits within the boundaries set by hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn and similar US/EU precedents. We don’t serve endpoints that touch authenticated content. You’re responsible for your own use of the data under your local data-protection law (GDPR, CCPA, etc.).
What does each call cost?
From $0.003 per call on the standard endpoints. Endpoints that do heavier upstream work — AI transcripts, posts with media archived to R2 — cost more. The exact per-call price shows on each endpoint row below. One call = one charge, never multiplied by record count.
Can I test before signing up?
Yes — the wallet starts with a $2 deposit that’s refundable for 24 hours. That’s plenty of calls to verify the response shape matches what you’re building across all 6 Twitter / X endpoints.
How fast are the responses?
Median response time across the Twitter / X endpoints is under 2 seconds. Heavier endpoints (deep comment threads, cursor-paginated lists) can run 4-8 seconds depending on the page depth requested.
§ Try it
Two dollars,
first run.
Sign in with Google, drop $2 in the wallet, fire your first Twitter / X call against twitter.com. If it doesn’t do what you need, the balance is refundable for 24 hours.
