X (Twitter) API Integration
How Volumn.ai connects to the X API to power all agent actions.
OAuth 2.0 Connection
Volumn.ai uses X's OAuth 2.0 PKCE flow to securely connect your account. We never store your X password — only the access token required to perform authorised actions.
Rate Limits
The X API enforces rate limits. Volumn.ai queues all requests and respects these limits automatically. If you hit a rate limit, agents will pause and resume after the reset window.
Upgrading your X API tier (Basic or Pro) significantly increases rate limits and allows more agent actions per day. Contact X Developer Portal for details.
Integration checklist
The X API integration should be treated like a production dependency. Before you rely on it, verify the account, scope, and downstream workflow that will consume its data.
- 1Confirm the correct X account is connected.
- 2Test the workflow with a small, low-risk action first.
- 3Document which downstream features depend on the integration.
Frequently asked questions
Does Volumn.ai use the official X/Twitter API?
Volumn.ai uses a combination of the official X/Twitter API (for data access and scheduling) and browser-based automation via the Chrome extension (for Reply Agent and AutoDM features that require real-time interaction).
Do I need my own X/Twitter API key to use Volumn.ai?
No. Volumn.ai provides API access as part of the platform. You do not need to apply for your own X/Twitter API key.
