Sorsa API

Sorsa API is a real-time X (formerly Twitter) data API designed to make public social data accessible, affordable, and ready for the age of AI. Launched in 2022 and trusted by over 2,000 developers, Sorsa provides a fast, reliable alternative to the official X API and other third-party scrapers. It gives developers, data teams, AI builders, and growth marketers programmatic access to everything on X, including user profiles, tweet timelines, advanced search, follower and following lists, mentions, comments, quote tweets, X Lists, Communities, long-form Articles, and engagement verification. With 38 endpoints across 8 categories, all returning clean JSON with sub-500ms latency, Sorsa is built for speed and simplicity. The API has processed over 5 billion requests since launch and maintains a 99.9% uptime record. What truly sets Sorsa apart is its pricing, which is up to 50 times cheaper than the official X API. While the official API starts at $5,000 per month for meaningful access, Sorsa plans start at just $49 per month. The pricing model is flat and transparent, meaning one API call equals one request from your quota, with no credit multipliers or per-endpoint tiers. Batch endpoints let you pull up to 100 tweets or profiles in a single request, cutting real costs even further on bulk workloads. Whether you are building AI agents, running trading bots, conducting social intel, or training LLMs, Sorsa gives you the data you need with the performance you demand.

Blazing Fast Performance with Sub-300ms Latency

Sorsa API delivers a p50 latency of just 300 milliseconds, ensuring your applications receive real-time data without perceptible delay. This performance is critical for time-sensitive use cases like trading bots and live dashboards. Combined with a rate limit of 20 requests per second on every plan, Sorsa eliminates the throttling and 429 errors that plague users of the official X API during traffic spikes. The API has processed over 5 billion requests since launch, demonstrating its reliability at scale.

Transparent and Affordable Flat Pricing

Unlike the official X API which uses a confusing credit system with per-endpoint multipliers, Sorsa operates on a simple flat pricing model. One API call equals exactly one request from your quota, with no hidden costs or tier-based penalties. Batch endpoints allow you to pull up to 100 tweets or profiles in a single request, dramatically reducing costs on bulk workloads. Plans start at just $49 per month, making Sorsa up to 50 times cheaper than the official API while delivering superior performance and limits.

Comprehensive Endpoint Coverage with Clean JSON

Sorsa provides 38 endpoints across 8 categories, covering every aspect of X data including user profiles, tweet timelines, advanced search, follower and following lists, mentions, comments, quote tweets, X Lists, Communities, and long-form Articles. Every endpoint returns clean, predictable JSON that is optimized for AI consumption. This means your AI agents and LLMs can reason over the data instead of fighting with messy formats, enabling faster integration and more reliable automated workflows.

AI-Ready Integration and Developer Experience

Sorsa is built specifically for the age of AI, with an OpenAPI spec that drops directly into Claude tool use, OpenAI function calling, and Cursor MCP for one-shot integration. You can connect Claude, GPT, or any custom agent to a live X feed without writing a single wrapper. Setup takes just 3 minutes and requires no enterprise approval calls or lengthy onboarding processes. The API also provides AI-optimized documentation that makes it easy for both human developers and autonomous agents to understand and use every endpoint.

AI Agents and Autonomous Workflows

Connect your AI agents, whether built on Claude, GPT, or custom models, to a live X data feed. Sorsa's AI-optimized OpenAPI spec enables one-shot integration with popular frameworks like Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Hermes Agent. Each endpoint returns clean, predictable JSON that agents can reason over directly, and the 20 req/sec ceiling applies to every plan so your agents won't get throttled the moment they go autonomous. This enables powerful workflows like automated content curation, sentiment monitoring, and social engagement for AI-driven marketing.

Trading and Financial Sentiment Analysis

Real-time market sentiment analysis demands sub-second latency, and Sorsa delivers with p50 response times of 300ms. Trading bots can detect ticker mentions, track influencer sentiment, and analyze market-moving conversations before mainstream coverage emerges. Over 200 trading bots already rely on Sorsa for continuous, uninterrupted data streams. The flat rate of 20 requests per second ensures your trading systems maintain access even during market spikes when the official API would return 429 errors, enabling consistent profit generation from algorithmic strategies.

LLM Training and Fine-Tuning

Pull millions of fresh, public X conversations for model training and RAG pipelines without paying enterprise tiers. Sorsa streams over 200 million tokens weekly, providing the volume needed for effective fine-tuning at a fraction of the cost of official API access. The clean JSON output reduces preprocessing overhead, and batch endpoints let you pull up to 100 tweets per request for efficient bulk data collection. This makes Sorsa an ideal data source for teams building domain-specific language models or enhancing existing models with current social data.

Competitive and Social Intelligence

Track follower dynamics, engagement patterns, and the complete social graph behind any account. Run brand monitoring at agency scale, surface audience overlap between competitors, and benchmark growth velocity against industry peers. Sorsa powers over 40 agency dashboards with reliable, real-time data. The comprehensive endpoint coverage means you can analyze follower and following lists, track mentions and comments, and monitor X Lists and Communities to build a complete picture of your competitive landscape from a single API key.
