Started with the Apify actor, then moved to the API for more control. The $10 free credits were enough to build our MVP. Now processing 2M+ tweets monthly.

Perfect for academic research. The community and trends endpoints give us data we couldn't get anywhere else. Documentation could use more examples, but support is responsive.
