Why Use Our Twitter/X Card API?
Skip the Twitter developer portal. Get structured tweet metadata with a single GET request.
No OAuth or Dev Portal
No Twitter developer account, no OAuth tokens, no app review process. Just your OpenGraph.io app_id and a tweet URL.
Fast & Reliable Extraction

Policy-Change Proof

How It Works
Drop a Twitter/X URL into our endpoint. We return structured data — no tokens, no scraping logic to maintain.
- 1Send your request: Pass any tweet URL (twitter.com or x.com) to our site API endpoint with your app_id.
- 2We extract the data: Our infrastructure fetches and parses the tweet page, extracting card data, text, author info, and engagement metrics.
- 3Get structured JSON: Receive a clean JSON response with tweet text, author, image, and metadata — ready for your app.

:tweetUrl?app_id=xxxxxx// Returns tweet text, author, image...// Works with twitter.com and x.comWhy Not Use Twitter's Official API?
The official API adds cost and complexity you don't need for metadata extraction.
Twitter/X API
- Requires OAuth and developer portal registration
- Strict rate limits — even on the paid tiers
- Basic access starts at $100/month, Pro at $5,000/month
- Unpredictable policy changes and API deprecations
- Strict commercial terms and app review process
- Card data often incomplete via official endpoints
- Only works with Twitter — need separate APIs for other platforms
OpenGraph.io
- Just an app_id — no developer portal or app review
- No OAuth, no tokens, no scopes
- Simple, predictable request-based pricing
- Start free — upgrade only when you need to
- Tweet text, author, image, card data — all in one response
- Survives X's policy changes — we keep extracting
- Not just Twitter — works with any URL across any platform
