X (Twitter) article detail API

Only on X.

The X (Twitter) article detail API returns the long-form article attached to an X post by the post's ID: title, full text, author, time published, and its like, reply and view counts. One call costs 2 credits ($0.004 to $0.0067 depending on the pack); failed calls are free. Call it over HTTP or from your AI client over MCP. Last tested 2026-10-17.

Questions.
Short answers.

Everything on X
Do I need a X account or X's own API access?
No. You only need a SocialToAI key. The call returns content and account information publicly visible on X; you never sign in to X or apply for anything there.

Your AI is one URL away
from all of social media.
