## FAQ

### How do I get Twitter community data with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/twitter/community with the full X community URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl returns the community name, description, member count, rules, creation date, and visibility settings in a unified JSON schema.

### What fields does the community endpoint return?

Community name, description, member count, rules list, creation date, privacy setting (open or invite-only), creator handle, and category. Everything visible on the community's public landing page gets normalized into the unified schema.

### Can I pair this with the community tweets endpoint?

Yes. Use /v1/twitter/community for metadata and /v1/twitter/community/tweets for the recent tweets posted in that community. Together they give you a full picture of a community's activity and membership in two calls.

### How much does the community endpoint cost?

One credit per request on the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required, so you can pull around 100 X communities before paying anything. No minimum monthly commitment and no rate limits.

### Does it work for private or invite-only communities?

The endpoint returns whatever is publicly visible on the community landing page. For open communities you get full data; for invite-only communities you typically get the name, description, and member count, but not the post feed.
