After Twitter (X) raised their API prices to $5000+/month minimum, we built an alternative API service that provides the same data at a fraction of the cost ($0.15 per 1,000 tweets).

Technical details: - REST API with ~800ms average response time - Support for 1000+ QPS - No Twitter auth or developer account required - Advanced search operators supported - Global data coverage with 99.99% uptime

We built this because many developers and researchers were priced out of Twitter data access. Our infrastructure is optimized for performance and cost-efficiency, allowing us to maintain stability even under high load.

I'd appreciate any feedback from the HN community, especially from those who work with social data or were affected by the Twitter API pricing changes.
