Why switch?

Socify

  • No app-review wait for public reads
  • One key across nine networks
  • Credits not platform quota units
  • Pay per successful lookup
  • Agent-simple Bearer auth
  • 99.97% SLA · /status

X API

  • App review / partner gates
  • Per-platform OAuth stacks
  • Official quota cliffs
  • Restricted public access
  • Expensive tiers (esp. X)
  • Multi-network glue code

The schema gap: official X pricing for basic reads.

X’s official tiers price out many builders. Socify offers public X lookups inside a credit-metered multi-network API.

On Socify public X reads are not locked behind expensive official tiers. Credits meter successful lookups across nine networks.

Switching from X API.

What is Socify?

Socify is a social-data API for builders and agents: nine major networks, credits as the only hard quota, a published uptime SLA, and one Bearer + JSON envelope across every plan.

How do I move from X API to Socify?

Use Socify /api/v1/twitter for public X data; keep official X API for write/compliance needs.

Will Socify cover the same surface X API does?

Official X API is first-party and write-capable; Socify focuses on public read lookups across nine networks.

How close is Socify’s API to X API’s?

X developer tiers vs Socify Bearer credits.

Can I run Socify alongside X API before cutting over?

Yes. Keep X API on production paths while you shadow-read through Socify on the overlapping platforms. Compare payloads and latency, then flip traffic when you are ready: no need for a big-bang cutover.
