Real-time tweet & user data. Access live tweets, user profiles, followers and search results with sub-second latency.

High rate limits. Supports 1000+ requests per second by default.
99.99% uptime SLA. Production-grade reliability with automatic failover.
Tiered pricing for bulk fetches. Followers, following and ID endpoints get cheaper per-item rates at larger page sizes.
WebSocket & webhook streams. Live data delivery for AI agents and real-time applications.

Zero-storage architecture. Tool calls fetch data directly from source APIs; no data is cached or stored.
Authorization-first access. All tools require explicit customer authorization before they become callable.
Bi-directional actions. Agents can read and write data (e.g., update records) where the integration supports it.
Unified auth handling. OAuth, API-key flows, token refresh and optional embedded sign-in UI are provided out of the box.
Tool discovery controls. Scope available tools to fit model limits and reduce surface area.
SDKs & language support. Client SDKs for TypeScript, Python, PHP, Java, C#, Ruby, Go and UI components for React, Vue, Angular, JS.
Embedded security boundaries. Each connection defines isolated access, with read/write, object and action restrictions.
