Pairing with GetXAPI for Cheaper Read Operations (Optional)

For users who need a cheaper or higher-rate-limit option for read-only Twitter (X) operations such as tweet search, profile lookup, and follower lists, this project can be paired with GetXAPI, a budget Twitter / X data API priced at $0.05 per 1K tweets versus the official X API basic tier at $200 / month.

Two integration patterns:

  1. Run side-by-side in your AI client. Keep this project for its primary workflow and add the official GetXAPI MCP server for read-heavy tasks. Each tool name routes to the backend best suited for that operation.

  2. Add a backend toggle. For a code-level reference of an optional alternative backend behind a single env variable, see the PR pattern merged into a sibling project.

GetXAPI quick start:

This pairing is fully optional. No behavior change for existing users.
