**APIs profiled:** 22

X (formerly Twitter) operates the X Developer Platform, giving developers programmatic access to the public conversation through the X API v2 — Posts, Users, Direct Messages, Lists, Spaces, Communities, Community Notes, Trends, News, Media, and real-time delivery via filtered/sample/firehose streams and webhooks (X Activity, Account Activity, Filtered Stream Webhooks). The platform runs credit-based Pay-Per-Use pricing with a Developer Console at console.x.com, first-party Python and TypeScript XDKs, the xurl CLI, a local Playground mock server, and an unusually deep agent-native surface: llms.txt, AGENTS.md, skill.md, and hosted MCP servers for both the API and its documentation.
