X

Social networking and microblogging platform where users post and interact with short-form messages known as tweets. The service powers real-time public conversation at global scale and supports text, images, video, polls, and direct messages.

Twitter, now operating as X, remains one of the most used platforms for real-time news, public discourse, and brand communication. The X Developer Platform exposes REST and streaming APIs for posts, users, trends, media, and Spaces. Official TypeScript and Java SDKs provide programmatic access alongside embeddable widgets for timelines and follow buttons on websites.

Key capabilities:

• X API for posts, users, lists, trends, media, Spaces, and direct messages
• X Ads API for programmatic campaign management, targeting, and analytics
• Embedded tweets, timelines, and follow buttons for websites via X for Websites
• Official TypeScript and Java SDKs with support for X API v2
• Streaming and filtered access for real-time data ingestion

Teams integrate Twitter for social login and OAuth identity, customer engagement and support, brand monitoring, and sentiment analysis. Developers embed timelines or individual posts into apps and dashboards, ingest real-time conversation data for research or analytics, and automate social media workflows through the API.
