X Links Add-on
By default, Upload-Post strips every URL from posts published to X (Twitter) before
they are published. This keeps your X usage on X's cheaper pricing tier — X bills roughly
$0.200 per "Content: Create (with URL)" request versus $0.015 for posts without a URL.
You can read the full stripping policy on the
Character Limits page and in the
Upload Text reference.
The X Links add-on lets you keep URLs in your X posts instead of having them removed.
What it does
When the add-on is active, parseable URLs are no longer stripped from your X posts —
captions, titles, and first_comment keep their links. This applies across every X path:
video, photo, text, scheduled and retried posts, and also replies created with
POST /api/uploadposts/comments/create and edits made with
POST /api/uploadposts/posts/edit. Without the add-on (or once its quota is
used up), links are removed from replies and edits too, the response carries a warnings array, and
a reply or edit whose text was only links is refused with 400 x_links_not_allowed.
Only posts that actually contain a link consume the add-on's quota (a reply or an edit that keeps a link counts as one link-post). Normal link-free X posts are unaffected and never count against it.
Price
| Plan | Monthly billing | Annual billing |
|---|---|---|
| X Links add-on | $19/month (USD) or €18/month (EUR) | $152/year (USD) or €144/year (EUR) |
The add-on bills on the same interval as your base subscription: monthly plans pay monthly, annual plans pay annually.
Quota: 50 link-posts per month
The add-on includes 50 link-posts per month, counted globally per account. The 50/month pool is shared across all of your X profiles — it is not a per-profile allowance.
Only posts that include a link consume the quota. Link-free posts do not.
What happens when the cap is reached
When you reach your 50 link-posts for the billing cycle, the behaviour reverts to the default: URLs are stripped from any further X posts until the quota resets at the start of your next billing cycle.
How to enable it
The X Links add-on requires an active paid subscription and is added on top of your existing subscription:
- Open your subscription / billing settings in the Upload-Post app.
- Find the X Links add-on and choose "Add to plan".
Once added, the add-on takes effect on your existing subscription and your monthly quota begins.
Coexists with other add-ons
The X Links add-on works alongside other add-ons (for example, the extra-profiles add-on). You can have several add-ons active on the same subscription at once.
