Rettiwt-API★★★★★
✓ loya-tested🆓 free🔌 drop-in
Pull your X feed, any user's timeline, or search results. No X API keys, no paywall.
why it matters
rettiwt lets you pull tweets, timelines, feeds, replies, and search results from X without paying for API access. CLI or Node library. We run the daily X feed scan on this — the whole 'what's dropping today' pipeline starts here.
Watch out: version 7.0.0 has a parser crash on User profiles that kills all feed/search/timeline endpoints. A one-line patch fixes it — re-apply after any upgrade. Free, MIT.

repo health★ 822
possibly unmaintained
no commits in 75 days. this doesn't mean it's broken — some small repos are "finished" — but if you hit an install issue, it may not get patched quickly.
avoid if
You need X data at scale — rettiwt uses a cookie session and rate-limits fast past a few hundred calls/hour.
