Value an X account: POST /tools/valuation

What this endpoint answers

Estimates what an X account is worth in dollars. Reads the profile plus a sample of recent posts, scores followers, engagement, account age, authority, activity and profile completeness, and returns a low/expected/high range with the multiplier behind each factor.

This is a live read: it goes to the platform at request time, returns cache_age_s = 0, and is metered against a separate live-per-minute bucket on top of your tier. It needs the tools:use scope (Tools): Run the analysis tools: valuation, follower audit, scoring, and more.

Good to know

Costs money: this endpoint bills twitterapi.io credits per call. Metered as a live call.
Returns 503 not_configured when TWITTERAPI_IO_KEY is unset, and 502 upstream_error when the credit pool is exhausted or the upstream fails. It never returns an empty 200.
Ignores NEXT_PUBLIC_USE_MOCK_DATA: the X tools always read live data and have no mock path.
The website's captcha and per-visitor daily caps do not apply here; your API key's tier limits do.
Values are USD, not cents.
Results are cached in-process for a short window, so two calls on the same handle within that window may return the same numbers without a second upstream charge.

Parameters

This endpoint takes no path or query parameters.

Request body

handlestringrequired
X handle. Accepts a bare name, @name, or a profile URL. Also accepted as `username`.

Example request body

{
  "handle": "elonmusk"
}

Call it

Authenticate with a bearer token or the x-api-key header. Keys are server-to-server credentials. Never embed one in front-end code - call the API from your own backend and forward the result.

curl

curl -X POST "https://crmsolid.com/data-api/v2/tools/valuation" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer psk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"handle":"elonmusk"}'

JavaScript

const res = await fetch("https://crmsolid.com/data-api/v2/tools/valuation", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.CRM_SOLID_DATA_API_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "handle": "elonmusk"
  }),
});

if (!res.ok) {
  const { error } = await res.json();
  throw new Error(`${error.code}: ${error.message} (${error.request_id})`);
}

const { data, meta } = await res.json();

Python

import json
import os

import requests

body = json.loads("""
{
  "handle": "elonmusk"
}
""")

res = requests.post(
    "https://crmsolid.com/data-api/v2/tools/valuation",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['CRM_SOLID_DATA_API_KEY']}"},
    json=body,
    timeout=30,
)
res.raise_for_status()

payload = res.json()
data, meta = payload["data"], payload["meta"]

Keys look like psk_live_... for production keys, psk_test_... for test keys and are minted in the panel.

What comes back

Success is { data, meta }. Failure is { error: { code, message, request_id } }. The body below is the spec's own example: the values in it are illustrative readings, not live numbers.

When it fails

POST /tools/valuation documents 7 failure statuses. Branch on error.code, which is stable and enumerated; message is prose and may change.

401Unauthorizedunauthorized | invalid_key
No key was presented, or the key is unknown, revoked or expired.
402PaymentRequiredpayment_required | subscription_inactive
The key is valid but the plan behind it cannot serve the call: the included requests are spent and overage is switched off, capped or unfunded (payment_required), or the billing period lapsed and was not renewed (subscription_inactive). Retrying does not help; paying does. The X-Plan-* headers on this response say how far past the line you are.
Carries X-Plan, X-Plan-Limit, X-Plan-Overage, X-Plan-Period-End, X-Plan-Remaining.
403Forbiddenforbidden_scope | forbidden_ip
The key is valid but not allowed to make this call: it lacks the scope, or the request came from an address outside the key's allowlist.
422InvalidRequestinvalid_request
A parameter is malformed, out of range or mutually exclusive with another. `details` names the offending fields.
429RateLimitedrate_limited | quota_exceeded
Either the burst ceiling for the current minute or the daily quota is spent. Distinguish with the code: rate_limited clears within the minute, quota_exceeded does not clear until 00:00 UTC.
Carries Retry-After, X-Quota-Limit, X-Quota-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset, X-Request-Id.
500InternalErrorinternal_error
Something failed on our side. Internals are never leaked; quote the request id.
503Unavailableupstream_timeout | upstream_error | not_configured
The request could not be served right now. BRANCH ON error.code, not on the status: 'upstream_timeout' means a source was too slow (this is what a catalog query hitting its 15-second statement timeout returns, so it is reachable from any endpoint that reads the corpus, not only the live-scrape ones) and the same call is worth retrying with backoff - narrowing it with a smaller limit, a filtered scope or a less popular account makes it far less likely; 'upstream_error' means a source was unreachable, so back off further; 'not_configured' means the capability has no backing service in this deployment, and retrying will never help.

Every response carries X-Request-Id and meta.request_id. Quote it in support requests.

Coverage and limits

This endpoint covers X. Rate limits come from the tier on your key.

X

Tier	Requests a minute	Requests a day	Live reads a minute
free	30	1,000	5
standard	120	25,000	20
pro	600	250,000	60
unlimited	6,000	10,000,000	600

Live reads count against the live column as well as the ordinary one, so a burst of them runs out of the live bucket first. Every response reports where you stand in X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset and the X-Plan headers.

The rest of the Tools group

The analysis tools behind the public free-tool pages, callable directly: valuation, follower audit, scoring and the rest. Metered like a live call, because each run costs compute or an upstream fetch.
