Today, Elon Musk’s social network X changed the prices and limits of its APIs. It also announced yearly plans with a discount.
The company raised the price of the basic API tier from $100 to $200 and said that this plan would get more destinations and higher limits.
We are adding new pricing choices and limits to our Self Serve X API. Here are the most important parts. Â
Launching annual subscriptions, which can be bought at a price!
Basic: the monthly fee will go up from $100 to $200, and there will be more endpoints and higher boundaries.
Free: Here we go…

The company said in a post on X’s developer community site that this API will get new endpoints like reposts_of_me and communities search, and the number of reads will go from 10,000 to 15,000.
The API limits are the same as before on the page where you compare APIs and the page where you buy a plan. This could be a mistake, and the company will fix the page (they didn’t answer our questions).
The official post from the X Developer account said that they are also adding a test read API for the free tier. But the company didn’t say that the free tier’s post limits have been lowered from 1,500 to 500 and that the read API will only let you make 100 calls.
X has also added new plans for the Basic and Pro API tiers that are cheaper for developers than paying a fee every month. The Pro plan costs $54,000 a year, while the Basic plan costs $2,100 a year.

The company added top-ups earlier this year as a way to get an extra limit on read and post requests. The basic tier can only get 10 top-ups, while the pro tier can only get 5. X now only lets developers do two top-ups a month for each tier.
