Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between retweets and quotes?

Retweets are simple shares without added commentary. Quote tweets include the user's own text along with the original tweet.

How many quote tweets are returned per page?

Each page returns approximately 20 quote tweets. You can fetch up to 10 pages in a single call.

How does pricing work?

You only pay for successful requests. The Twitter Tweet Quotes API costs $0.006 per page. There are no monthly fees or commitments. You get 50 free requests per endpoint every month.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can sign up and use the free tier (50 requests/endpoint/month) without adding a payment method. You only need to add a card when you want to exceed the free tier.

Are there rate limits?

Yes, there's a concurrency limit of 3 simultaneous requests per endpoint per user. If you need more, just get in touch.
