Overview
Sorsa API is a third-party X (formerly Twitter) data API and scraper that provides developers with real-time access to public X data at significantly lower costs than the official API. Launched in 2022 as TweetScout API and rebranded in 2025, it offers up to 50x cheaper pricing and 20x higher rate limits, with instant setup and no approval process.
Key Features
-
High Rate Limits and Low Latency: All plans share a flat 20 requests per second rate limit with sub-300ms p50 latency, enabling real-time data streaming for time-sensitive applications like trading bots.
-
30+ Endpoints Across Six Domains: Covers user data, tweets and posts, advanced search with operators, lists and communities, action verification (follow, retweet, comment checks), and technical tools like username-to-ID mapping.
-
AI-Native Documentation: An OpenAPI 3.0 spec is available as a single URL that can be dropped into LLMs like Claude, GPT, or Cursor for one-shot integration. Endpoints return clean, predictable JSON suitable for AI agents and function calling.
-
Flat Pricing Model: 1 request equals 1 action on every endpoint and every plan, with no credit multipliers or hidden fees. Plans start at $49/month for 10K requests, up to $899/month for 500K requests.
Target Audience
Sorsa API is designed for developers, AI engineers, trading firms, and data teams who need reliable, high-volume access to public X data without the cost and approval hurdles of the official API.
