Questions

How much does the X user posts API cost?

$0.0020 per call. The most one call can cost is $0.0020.

When am I not charged?

Errors and timeouts are not charged; an empty result is charged $0.0020.

How many items does one call return, and how do I get the next page?

About 20 items a page, 60 at most. The page size is the platform's; limit is not accepted. For the next page pass page.next_cursor as cursor; a cursor is valid for 1 hour. page.has_more is false on the last page.

What happens if the object does not exist?

An account that does not exist is not answered with a 404: the source only says the request failed, without saying why, so it is reported as an upstream error that may be retried once and is not charged.
