Before you start

• Create an API key in the TwexAPI dashboard
• Store it as X_API_SCRAPER_KEY
• Use https://api.twexapi.io as the base URL
• Send Authorization: Bearer <key>

Public tweet, profile, search, follower, timeline, reply, quote, and trending reads use the API key only.

Open the [dashboard](https://twexapi.io/dashboard) and create a key. Keep it in a secret manager. Do not commit it. ```bash export X_API_SCRAPER_KEY='replace_me'

curl --request GET 'https://api.twexapi.io/balance' \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${X_API_SCRAPER_KEY}"
```

```bash curl --request POST 'https://api.twexapi.io/twitter/advanced_search/page' \ --header "Authorization: Bearer ${X_API_SCRAPER_KEY}" \ --header 'content-type: application/json' \ --data '{ "searchTerms": ["from:elonmusk"], "sortBy": "Latest", "next_cursor": "" }' ```

Operators such as `from:user`, `since:YYYY-MM-DD`, `until:YYYY-MM-DD`, and `lang:en` go inside `searchTerms`.
