Honest writing on growing on X.
Guides, comparisons, and reply-style breakdowns. From the team that runs the agent on its own accounts every day.
X API compliance: the deletion job you owe X
Batch compliance jobs, the 24-hour deletion rule and the Enterprise-only event streams: what X API compliance requires in 2026, and what obeying it costs.
·Read the guide →X API Lists: the add limit that is not in the docs
The Lists endpoints in 2026: what a List read costs, why owned_lists is the cheapest and most throttled call, and the member-add ceiling X staff admit but never publish.
·→Article·11 min readX API stream: what pay-per-use actually delivers
Filtered Stream, Powerstream, volume streams and webhooks in 2026: what pay-per-use gets, what Enterprise gates, and why a stream is the one endpoint you cannot budget.
·→Article·7 min readX API Playground: the free local mock, and its limits
X ships a free local server that emulates the X API v2 so tests never spend credits. What it gets right, what it fakes badly, and why its cost meter is the real draw.
·→Article·10 min readX API Python: the official SDK and what it breaks on
X ships a first-party Python SDK now: pip install xdk. What it covers, the four bugs still open in the shipped build, and where its own docs are wrong.
·→Article·10 min readX API rate limits: which one actually stops you
Every X API endpoint carries its own 15-minute ceiling, but on most projects the rate limit is not what fails first. Here is how to tell which meter you hit.
·→Article·9 min readX API reply: the one condition POST /2/tweets checks
A reply sent through the X API only publishes if one condition is true. It lives on a docs page X's own index does not list, and the 403 you get does not explain it.
·→Article·9 min readX API TypeScript: the official XDK and what is dead in it
X's TypeScript XDK is first-party, MIT-ish and frozen since July 2026. Three of its config fields and two of its client methods do nothing. Read before you ship.
·→Article·7 min readX Hide Replies API: the cap that is not in the docs
The X hide replies API is one PUT request, but it has two ceilings. One is documented at 50 per 15 minutes. The other was deleted from the docs and returns a bare 403.
·→Article·7 min readX API search: the two endpoints and what reads cost
X API search in 2026: recent vs full-archive, the retweet change nobody documented, why min_faves 400s, and the counts trick that sizes a query for $0.005.
