Commissions are 20% flat on every eligible payment, lifetime. ## How It Works Four steps from sharing your link to getting paid. 1 ### Share your referral link Use your TwitterAPIs affiliate link in guides, newsletters, communities, videos, templates, or comparison pages. Any page on twitterapis.com accepts the ref parameter, so you can link to the docs or a blog post rather than the homepage. 2 ### The click is stored for 90 days When someone opens your link, the referral code is saved to a 90-day cookie in their browser. They do not have to sign up in that session. The code is attached to their account when they create it. 3 ### A referred user pays When a referred customer makes an eligible payment, 20% of the gross checkout value is recorded as commission against your affiliate account. This repeats on every payment they make, with no expiry. 4 ### Commission clears a 30-day holdback Each commission carries a 30-day holdback from the qualifying payment. After that it can be withdrawn as cash or converted into TwitterAPIs credits. 5 ### Withdraw or convert to credits Convert to TwitterAPIs credits instantly with a 15% bonus, or request a cash payout of $25 or more to your configured PayPal, Stripe, or Wise details. ## Program Rules What counts and what doesn't. - Commission is 20% of gross checkout value on every eligible payment. - Commissions are lifetime for each valid referred customer, subject to the $5,000 per affiliate per calendar year cap. - One referrer per account. The first valid code claimed when the account is created is locked in permanently, and it cannot be changed, transferred, or stacked afterwards. - An account that has already made a payment can no longer be attributed to a referrer. - Each commission carries a 30-day holdback from the qualifying payment before it can be withdrawn or converted. - Cash withdrawals start at $25. Converting commission into TwitterAPIs credits has no minimum. - When a payment would take you past the $5,000 annual cap, commission is recorded only up to the cap. Accrual resumes on 1 January. - Self-referrals, duplicate accounts, fake accounts, payment abuse, coupon abuse, and existing customer referrals are not eligible. - Converted TwitterAPIs credits are not withdrawable after conversion. ## Payout Options Pick one in the dashboard, then request a payout of $25 or more. ![PayPal logo](https://img.logo.dev/paypal.com?token=pk_N5RgaIDWS9ix_HS6obPOag&size=64&format=png) ### PayPal Payout to a PayPal email address.

Converting commission into TwitterAPIs credits is instant. ## Why TwitterAPIs Converts Well for Affiliates The same things that make TwitterAPIs a fast sell to a developer also make it a fast sell to your audience. - $0.0008 per call, about $0.04 per 1,000 tweets on a full 20-tweet page, roughly 100x cheaper than the official X API standard read rate. - 30-second signup with Google, no developer-account application, no use-case approval queue. - $0.50 in free credits at signup with no credit card, readers can copy-paste a working snippet immediately. - Single Bearer header for auth, no OAuth scaffolding, no token refresh, no 429 retry logic. - Lifetime commission means recurring API spend keeps paying you year after year. ## Who Refers TwitterAPIs Well Audiences that already need a Twitter/X API. If you have one of these, this program is built for you. ### Developer YouTubers and creators Tutorial creators covering AI agents, LLM tooling, or automation. The MCP server means a Claude Desktop user can start hitting the Twitter/X API inside the tutorial, no OAuth dance, no developer account application, and $0.50 free credit is in their account before the video ends. ### Comparison and review writers Reviewers covering Twitter API alternatives, RapidAPI listings, or scraping marketplaces. TwitterAPIs wins most pricing comparisons on cost and time-to-first-call. ### Indie SaaS newsletters Indie hacker and bootstrapped newsletters. Your readers are already paying $100/month to X for Basic API access. Drop in the cost comparison: $0.0008 a call, which is $0.04 per 1,000 tweets on a full 20-tweet page, against $5 per 1,000 on the official API, with no subscription, no use-case review queue, and a free $0.50 to test it. ### Course and template creators Anyone shipping a paid course, Notion template, or starter kit that touches Twitter data. TwitterAPIs removes the developer-account approval step that usually blocks readers. ## Quick Math: What Could You Earn? Conservative estimates assuming average referred customer spend of $30/month and 12-month retention. Referred customers Avg spend / mo Annual customer value Your 20% / year As credits (+15%) 5 $30 $1,800 $360 $414 20 $30 $7,200 $1,440 $1,656 50 $30 $18,000 $3,600 $4,140 100CAP HIT $30 $36,000 $5,000 $5,750 The $5,000 annual cap kicks in around the 70-customer mark at $30/mo average spend. High-volume referrals earn faster but stop accruing once the cap is hit; the cap resets each calendar year. ## Your Referral Link Sign up for TwitterAPIs and your unique affiliate link is generated immediately, no application, no approval. The ref parameter is read on every page of the site, so you can point people at the pricing page or a docs page instead of the homepage and still get the credit. Share link `https://www.twitterapis.com/?ref=YOUR_CODE` Direct signup link `https://www.twitterapis.com/signup?ref=YOUR_CODE` Deep link to any page `https://www.twitterapis.com/pricing?ref=YOUR_CODE` Replace `YOUR_CODE` with the unique string assigned to your affiliate account in the dashboard. The code is stored in the visitor's browser for 90 days, so a reader who clicks today and signs up next month is still attributed to you. ## Convert Earnings to Credits for 15% More Value If you use TwitterAPIs yourself, converting available commission into API credits gives you extra buying power. A $100 commission becomes $115 in TwitterAPIs credits. Converted credits never count as withdrawable cash.
