Sorsa is a fast, affordable, and reliable X (Twitter) scraper API that gives developers real-time access to public X data. Launched in 2022 (formerly TweetScout API), it offers up to 50x lower prices and 20x higher rate limits than the official X API, with instant setup and no approval needed.

If I compare Sorsa API with TwitterAPI.io, which one should I choose?

Most teams choose Sorsa. It has a much clearer flat pricing model, AI-optimized documentation designed specifically for Claude, ChatGPT and AI agents, and a cleaner, more intuitive developer interface and overall UX. Sorsa is also strictly read-only, which provides better stability for serious data and AI projects.

How does Sorsa compare to the official X (Twitter) API?

Sorsa is a high-performance alternative that provides 20x higher rate limits and full data access at up to 50x lower cost. It offers instant access and simple setup, while the official X API requires expensive tiers starting from $5,000 per month and long approval processes.

Can I post tweets or manage account content through Sorsa?

No. Sorsa is a read-only API focused on data retrieval and verification. We intentionally disabled write actions to maintain high stability and protect the service from spam and abuse.

Are rate limits the same across all Sorsa pricing plans?

Yes. All plans, from Starter to Enterprise, have the same flat rate limit of 20 requests per second. We do not throttle speed on lower-tier plans.

Is Sorsa compatible with AI agents and LLM training?

Yes. Sorsa was built with an AI-first approach. Our clean JSON format and specially optimized documentation work excellently with Claude, ChatGPT, OpenClaw and other AI agents for one-shot integration and RAG pipelines.

What is Sorsa's flat pricing model?

With Sorsa, 1 request always equals exactly 1 action. There are no credit multipliers or hidden fees. Fetching a tweet, running an advanced search, or pulling a large follower list all cost the same - one request from your monthly quota.

Is using Sorsa legal and safe?

Yes. Sorsa only accesses publicly available data on X, similar to how any browser or search engine works. The service is built for ethical use cases such as market research, AI training, and business analytics while following all relevant privacy laws.

How fresh is the data from Sorsa and how do I migrate from the official X API?

All data is real-time with sub-second latency. Migration from the official X (Twitter) API is straightforward and usually takes under 2 hours, because our endpoints and JSON structure are very similar. Check our Migration Guide for detailed instructions and example code.
