n8n node for xdataapi.io: read-only public X (Twitter) profiles, posts, threads, followers and search
An n8n community node for xdataapi.io: read-only public X (Twitter) data. Profiles, posts, threads, replies, quotes, reposters, followers, and search with the x.com operators.
Read-only by design. No posting, no likes, no direct messages, no private data. Not affiliated with X Corp.
In n8n: Settings → Community nodes → Install, then enter n8n-nodes-xdataapi.
Self-hosted, by hand:
npm install n8n-nodes-xdataapi
Get a key at xdataapi.io/dashboard. New keys start with 5,000 free credits
and no card. In n8n add an xdataapi API credential and paste the key. The credential test calls
/v1/me, which is free and reports the balance, so a green tick also proves the key has credits.
