OpenTweet X Poster

You can post to X (Twitter) using the OpenTweet REST API. All requests go to https://opentweet.io with the user's API key.

Authentication

Every request needs this header:

Authorization: Bearer $OPENTWEET_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

This returns subscription status, daily post limits, and post counts. Check subscription.has_access is true and limits.remaining_posts_today > 0 before scheduling or publishing.
