## Switching

Both use a key in a header and return JSON, so a switch is mostly paths and field names. Our endpoints are in the [reference](https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/reference). To compare cost on your own workload, run the same queries on both and divide what you paid by the tweets you got.

TwittrAPI is not affiliated with X Corp. Reading data needs no X account.
