FAQs

Do I need an X (Twitter) API key?

No. Supadata handles all authentication with X (Twitter) internally. You only need a Supadata API key to make requests — no X developer account required.

What types of X content does this support?

The API works with X video posts, tweet videos, and Spaces recordings. Pass any public X URL and get the transcript back in seconds.

How often is the data updated?

Transcripts are fetched in real-time. Every request hits the live source, so you always get current data.

What about rate limits?

Supadata handles traffic intelligently to ensure your requests succeed. You can also implement your own rate limiting using our credit system. See documentation for details.

What programming languages are supported?

Any language that can make HTTP requests. We offer first-class SDKs for Python and JavaScript/TypeScript, plus no-code integrations for Zapier, Make, n8n, and ActivePieces.

What format is the transcript returned in?

JSON with an array of { text, offset, duration, lang } objects. Set text: true to get a plain string instead. See transcript endpoint docs.
