Track every conversation about your brand, product, or market on X. Keyword and hashtag search, mention tracking, full reply and quote threads, and history back to 2006, returned as clean JSON from a single API key. Flat-rate, up to 50x cheaper than the official X API.

General-purpose listening platforms spread across a dozen networks and reach X through a thin shared connector. They miss the replies, the quote tweets, and the accounts that actually amplified a post.
If X is where your category actually launches, argues, and complains, you need depth: every reply and quote under a post, the full advanced-search operator set, and history back to 2006. We do one platform completely instead of many platforms partially.
Because this is a data API, you get structured JSON you pipe into your own BI, your own product, or an AI agent. No seat limits, no fixed dashboard, no data you cannot export.
That clean data layer is the Sorsa API: every matching tweet with metrics and the full author profile attached, ready to score, store, and join against your own data.
Most listening platforms reach X through a shared connector built to look the same across a dozen networks. A dedicated X API treats X as the primary surface, and the difference shows up exactly where listening matters.
| Capability | Multiplatform connector | Sorsa (X-native) |
|---|---|---|
| Reply & quote threads | Usually top-level posts only | Full replies, quotes, and retweeters on any post |
| Advanced search | A reduced keyword filter | The complete X advanced-search operator set |
| Historical reach | Recent window, or archive at extra cost | Date-windowed search back to 2006 |
| Author context | Limited, or a separate enrichment call | Full author profile on every tweet, no extra call |
| Data delivery | Vendor dashboard, capped exports | Raw JSON, no seat or export limits |
| Pricing model | Per seat or per mention | Flat per request, 20 req/sec on every plan |
Find any topic, hashtag, or boolean query with the full set of advanced search operators.
/search-tweetsCatch direct @handle tags and the far larger volume of posts that name your brand in plain text. See how to track every brand mention.
/mentions + /search-tweetsPull the replies, quote tweets, and the accounts that retweeted any post, so you see the whole thread, not just the original.
/comments · /quotes · /retweetersMonitor any account's timeline, followers, and following graph; batch up to 100 profiles per request.
/user-tweets · /followers · /info-batchRead trending topics for any region by WOEID to tell an isolated spike from a real market movement.

Every result already carries engagement metrics and the full author profile. No second call to enrich, no OAuth, no expansions to remember.
Track mentions and sentiment-loaded keywords, route hits to Slack or Discord, and respond before a complaint spreads. Set up near-real-time alerts.
Run the same analysis across competitor handles, map audience overlap, and measure share of voice from one key. Benchmark competitors.
Date-windowed pulls quantify volume, reach, unique voices, and top posts for any launch window.
Sub-300ms responses surface ticker and keyword signals before mainstream coverage picks them up.
Listening is only useful once raw tweets become numbers a team can act on. Because every result already carries engagement metrics and the full author profile, the analytical layer is something you compute directly on the response, with no enrichment calls.
Every metric above comes from the same flat-rate feed, so a viral spike never turns into a surprise invoice.
Listening volume is unpredictable. With per-resource billing, a viral spike becomes a surprise invoice. With flat-rate it costs nothing extra, and the author profile is included free on every tweet.

X exposes data endpoints (search and mentions among them) under pay-per-use pricing and OAuth, but there is no dedicated social listening product. Third-party APIs like ours package the same public X data behind a single key with flat monthly pricing, which is what most listening builds run on.
A tool gives you a finished dashboard you log into. An API gives you the raw structured data to build your own dashboard, embed listening inside your product, or feed an AI agent. We are the data layer, not a dashboard, so nothing is locked in and everything is exportable.
Yes. The mentions endpoint catches direct @handle tags, and tweet search catches your brand name in plain text, which is usually the larger share of the conversation. Run both and deduplicate by tweet ID. The mention-tracking guide covers the pattern.
Yes. Poll the search or list endpoints on a short interval and push new posts to Slack, Discord, or any webhook. End-to-end latency is your interval plus about 300ms, which is near real-time for brand and market monitoring. The real-time monitoring guide has production-ready code.
Date-windowed search reaches the full public X archive back to 2006, so you can run the same analysis on a campaign from years ago for benchmarking.
Flat monthly plans: $49 Starter, $199 Pro (most popular), $899 Enterprise. On Pro that works out to roughly $0.02 per 1,000 tweets, up to 50x cheaper than the official X API, and traffic spikes never cost extra.
Yes. Run the same search across your brand and each competitor handle, then compare matched tweet volume and total reach across the result sets. Because the author profile and metrics ship with every tweet, the numbers come from one feed with no extra calls.
Poll the search or mentions endpoint on a short interval and fire an alert when volume or negative-sentiment hits cross a threshold. End-to-end latency is your interval plus about 300ms, fast enough to respond before a complaint spreads. The real-time monitoring guide covers the polling pattern.
The API returns only public data any logged-out visitor can see: public posts, profiles, and engagement counts. It is read-only and never touches private accounts, direct messages, or protected content. You remain responsible for how the data is used under applicable law.
Live in 3 minutes. Up to 50x cheaper than the official X API. 20 req/sec on every plan. Your first 100 requests are free: no card, no expiry.
