How much does the Twitter (X) Tweet Comments API cost?

$0.0015 per call. Every organization gets 100 free calls per UTC day, shared across eligible SandBase APIs including this one; after that each call is billed at this price from your SandBase balance. There is no subscription.

What parameters does the Twitter (X) Tweet Comments API accept?

Required: tweet_id (string). Optional: cursor (string). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.

What does the Twitter (X) Tweet Comments API return?

A JSON response returned in the same HTTP request (synchronous). The README on this page includes a sample response.

Do I need a Twitter developer account or API key?

No. Twitter (X) Tweet Comments runs through SandBase, so one SandBase API key covers this endpoint and every other API and model in the catalog. You do not need to apply for Twitter API access separately.
