Terraform Provider

Use the TwexAPI Terraform provider with an API key for profile and tweet data sources. Public docs focus on reads.

Use the Terraform provider for API-key data sources such as profile about and tweet lookup. Search, follower exports, and other paginated reads stay on the REST API or language SDKs.

Terraform task	Resource / data source	REST route
Read profile	`data.x-api-scraper_user_about`	`GET /twitter/{screen_name}/about`
Read tweet	`data.x-api-scraper_tweet`	`POST /twitter/tweets/lookup`

Install

Terraform CLI 1.0 or newer.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    x-api-scraper = {
      source  = "twexapi-dev/x-api-scraper"
      version = "~> 0.1"
    }
  }
}

provider "x-api-scraper" {}

Local development override in ~/.terraformrc:

provider_installation {
  dev_overrides {
    "twexapi-dev/x-api-scraper" = "/absolute/path/to/terraform-provider-x-api-scraper"
  }
  direct {}
}

Then:

go build -o terraform-provider-x-api-scraper
export X_API_SCRAPER_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
terraform plan

Source: twexapi-dev/terraform-provider-x-api-scraper

Authenticate

Prefer environment variables:

export X_API_SCRAPER_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Or set bearer_auth on the provider.

Never commit credentials or Terraform state.

Read a profile

data "x-api-scraper_user_about" "elon" {
  screen_name = "elonmusk"
}

output "user_id" {
  value = data.x-api-scraper_user_about.elon.user_id
}

Search and pagination

For tweet search, follower exports, and other paginated reads, use the Go SDK, TypeScript SDK, or CLI instead of Terraform.
