 # Changelog
 
+## 0.18.0 (2026-10-01)
+
+### Added

+- **`twitter_user_about_batch`.** The About object (account country, how the account
+  was created, username-change history, verification) for up to 100 accounts in one
+  call, by `usernames` or `user_ids`. Results come back in request order, each with
+  an `about` object or an error code. Billed per account X answered for; items that
+  failed on our side are free and safe to retry. Takes `fields` and `compact` like
+  every other read.

 ## Tools
 
-109 tools: 65 reads and 44 write actions. Most user endpoints accept `username` (handle without @) **or** `user_id` (`twitter_user_likes` and `twitter_user_tweets_complete` require `user_id`); tweet endpoints accept `id` **or** `url`; paginated endpoints return a `cursor` you pass back to get the next page. Every data read also takes `fields` (comma-separated dotted paths to keep, e.g. `id,text,author.username`; pagination and envelope keys always survive) and `compact` (`"1"` for a built-in preset of ids, text, counts and author basics), so a model paying per token can trim a page to what it will read. Four of the reads are free account lookups (`twitter_account_me`, `twitter_account_payments`, `twitter_feedback_get`, `twitter_feedback_list`); the 14 monitoring tools and `twitter_feedback_send` are also free (account administration, not metered reads).

 Public reads (search, profiles, tweets, followers, likes) work with just your API key. The **account-only** reads (bookmarks, DMs, home timeline, followers-you-know) and **most write actions** act AS an authenticated X account, so they need a session linked to your key first (returns HTTP 409 until then). Link a session either by registering your x.com cookies (`twitter_customer_session`) or by logging in with a username/password (`twitter_user_login`). Alternatively, pass **per-call inline credentials** on any of those tools (`auth_token` + `ct0`, with optional `proxy_url` / `user_agent`) to act AS that account for a single call without pre-registering a session, so one API key can act as many accounts. For write actions, set `proxy_url` to a residential proxy, since X soft-blocks writes that egress from datacenter IPs. Each write tool is annotated `readOnlyHint: false`; reversing actions (delete, unfollow, unlike, unretweet, unbookmark, monitor/webhook delete) are annotated `destructiveHint: true` so MCP clients can prompt before running them. The **monitoring** and **feedback** tools (see below) are the exception: they administer your twitterapis.com account, not an X session, so they need only your API key, no linked session and no inline credentials.

 ## Pricing
 
-Calls are billed to your twitterapis.com account. Most endpoints are $0.0008/call: nearly every read (search, profiles, tweets, followers, likes) plus the simple write actions (like, retweet, bookmark, follow and their undos, delete). At the read rate that works out to $0.04 per 1,000 tweets, since each call returns about 20 tweets. The premium endpoints cost a little more: tweet creation, sending a DM (`twitter_dm_send`), and DM reads (`twitter_dm_list`, `twitter_dm_conversation`) at $0.0016/call, full tweet history (`twitter_user_tweets_complete`) at $0.0024/call, a full tweet thread (`twitter_tweet_thread`) and a Grok answer (`twitter_grok_chat`) at $0.004/call, and the article-editing writes (`twitter_article_create`, `twitter_article_update_title`, `twitter_article_update_cover_media`, `twitter_article_update_content`, `twitter_article_publish`, `twitter_article_unpublish`) at $0.0016. The compose surface is $0.0016 for `twitter_draft_create`, `twitter_draft_edit`, `twitter_scheduled_create` and, note, BOTH LIST READS (`twitter_draft_list`, `twitter_scheduled_list`), which are the two reads that are not at the read rate; `twitter_draft_delete` and `twitter_scheduled_delete` are $0.0008/call, while `twitter_article_get`, `twitter_article_list` and `twitter_article_delete` stay at the standard $0.0008/call. The three profile writes (`twitter_update_profile`, `twitter_update_avatar`, `twitter_update_banner`) are $0.0016/call each. Your first $0.50 is free. See [twitterapis.com/pricing](https://www.twitterapis.com/pricing).
