How X is using Mintlify to power the developer experience for the global town square

partner since

2024

Beyond powering social media for 250 million daily users, X (formerly Twitter) is an essential data and integration layer for developers. Through its APIs, businesses and researchers can tap into real-time conversation, power analytics, and build new tools on top of the world’s biggest public forum.

Developers are critical for extending the reach and impact of X. But supporting that audience required more than just powerful APIs - it required documentation that was for developers to use and fast to maintain.

Their previous homegrown solution couldn’t keep pace. Updates were slow and customization was limited, and the team needed to upgrade the overall experience to match the expectations of modern developers.

That’s when X turned to Mintlify. With Mintlify, the team introduced a fully branded developer experience complete with an interactive API playground - giving developers a hands-on way to test endpoints, explore data, and validate integrations, making it easier than ever to adopt X APIs.

And the best part: instead of months of custom build time, X delivered the new experience in a fraction of the time, and can now keep content fresh with updates that go live in seconds.

By partnering with Mintlify, X now delivers a modern, hands-on documentation experience that boosts adoption and keeps developers building on their platform.
