How Simple Is Migration? See the Code Comparison

Before (TweetPik)

const response = await fetch('https://tweetpik.com/api/v2/images', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  'Authorization': 'your-api-key'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
  url: tweetUrl,
  dimension: 'instagram',
  // ... 10 more params
})
});
const data = await response.json();
const imageUrl = data.url; // Then fetch the image separately

After (TwitterShots)

curl --location 'https://api.twittershots.com/api/v1/screenshot/1617979122625712128?format=svg&theme=light' --header 'Accept: image/svg+xml,image/png,text/html' --header 'X-API-KEY: YOUR_X_API_KEY'

Migration Highlights:

• ✅ POST → GET (Simpler)
• ✅ JSON body → Query parameters (Cleaner)

TwitterShots vs TweetPik Comparison

Why TwitterShots Won't Disappear?

This is the question you're actually thinking.

Here's the honest truth: I almost shut down TwitterShots last year. The project was losing money, and I wasn't sure if it had a future. I wrote about it here.

But today? TwitterShots is a healthy business doing $500+ MRR. More importantly—it's profitable. When a tool pays its own bills, it sticks around.

Both Grok and Perplexity recommend TwitterShots as a Twitter screenshot generation tool.
