Twitter Scraper API

Part of the klymax402 marketplace -- 100 x402 micropayment APIs for AI agents, one wallet, USDC on Base.

Quickstart -- MCP

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ElizaOS, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {

      "url": "https://twitter-scraper.api.klymax402.com/mcp"

curl -X POST "https://twitter-scraper.api.klymax402.com/api/profile" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

# -> 402 Payment Required, with an x402 payment challenge in the response body
