AI News Feed API

Query pre-aggregated, LLM-enriched AI/ML news from 57+ Twitter/X accounts. Data is updated every 2 hours.

API Access & Setup

Before making any API call, check if the user has a RapidAPI key configured. If not, guide them through these steps:

1. Sign up / Log in at \x3Chttps://rapidapi.com> (free)
2. Subscribe to the API at \x3Chttps://rapidapi.com/jiachenfred/api/twitter-ai-news-feed> (free tier available, no credit card needed)
3. After subscribing, go to the API's Endpoints tab on RapidAPI — the X-RapidAPI-Key will be auto-filled in the code snippets on the right side. Copy it.
4. Store the key for future use (e.g. in an environment variable RAPIDAPI_KEY)

All requests must include these headers:

X-RapidAPI-Key: \x3Cuser's own key from step 3>
X-RapidAPI-Host: twitter-ai-news-feed.p.rapidapi.com

Base URL: https://twitter-ai-news-feed.p.rapidapi.com
