Search › Users

GET
/v1/twitter/search/users

Returns X (Twitter) accounts matching a name, handle or keyword, with handle, display name, bio, avatar, follower, following and tweet counts, location, verification, join date, and a private flag.

Use it to resolve a handle you half know before calling profile or user/tweets. There is no spelling correction, so verify the returned handle. About 20 accounts a page, and the cursor pages deeper.

20 credits per call.

Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free.

Paginates by cursor — see Pagination.

Search › Tweets GET

Returns tweets matching a keyword or phrase, each with the full text, like, retweet, reply, bookmark and view counts, media attachments, author info, and creation time. Use it to track a topic or brand across X. Operators like from:, quoted phrases, filter:images, and since:/until: work inside query; sort picks latest (default) or top, the cursor pages deeper. **Metered: 20–180 credits.** We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes. Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free. Paginates by `cursor` — see [Pagination](/docs/pagination).

Tweet › Replies GET

Returns the replies to a tweet, each with the reply text, author info, like and reply counts, and creation time. The tweet itself is not in the list. Use it with a tweet URL to read the conversation under it; the cursor walks deeper threads, and a tweet with no replies returns an empty list. **Metered: 20–100 credits.** We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes. Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free. Paginates by `cursor` — see [Pagination](/docs/pagination).
