Twitter (X) stats API
Get the numbers behind any X account, not just the follower count. Pass usernames and get engagement rate, average and median likes, average views, tweets per week, reply and retweet share, top hashtags and top tweets — plus follower quality and similar accounts to benchmark against.
From $0.10 per result · no API key · failed calls refunded
What you get
- Engagement rate and views-to-followers ratio
- Average likes, retweets, replies, quotes and views
- Tweets per week and content mix
- Top tweets and hashtags
- Followers, following, total tweets and account age
- Fake-follower audit and similar accounts
Just ask your AI
“Compare the engagement rate of @stripe, @vercel and @supabase over their last 100 tweets.”
“Find 20 accounts similar to @levelsio and rank them by engagement rate.”
Connectors behind it
Your AI picks the right one for the question. Each is priced per result and refunded if it fails.

Adds the Sourcelane MCP server with your key as a header.
claude mcp add --transport http sourcelane https://api.usesourcelane.com/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer sl_live_your_agent_key"Claude Desktop (config file)
Alternative to the connector URL: add to claude_desktop_config.json, then restart Claude.

How many tweets are analysed?+
You choose — set how many recent tweets to analyse per account.
Do I need X API access?+
No. There's no X developer account or paid API tier on your side.
Do I need a X (Twitter) API key or developer account?+
No. Sourcelane runs the connectors for you. You top up a balance with a card, create an agent key, and your agent calls the connector — there is no X (Twitter) app review, OAuth setup or rate-limit juggling on your side.
Which AI tools can use it?+
Anything that speaks MCP (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf) can connect to the Sourcelane MCP server with one config block. ChatGPT can use it through a Custom GPT Action, and any agent framework can call the REST endpoint directly.
Can I stop an agent from overspending?+
Yes. Every agent key has its own per-call cap, daily and monthly limits, an optional lifetime budget, an allowlist of connectors, and a kill switch.
