Add post to bookmarks

Adds a specified, existing, and accessible Tweet to a user's bookmarks, with success indicated by the 'bookmarked' field in the response.

Append Media Upload

Creates a new compliance job to check the status of Tweet or user IDs; upload IDs as a plain text file (one ID per line) to the `upload_url` received in the response.

Create group DM conversation

Creates a new group Direct Message (DM) conversation on Twitter. REQUIRED PARAMETERS: - conversation_type: Must be 'Group' - participant_ids: List of Twitter user IDs to include in the conversation - message: JSON object with the initial message. Must contain 'text' field. To include media attachments, use message.attachments array with media_id (NOT media_url): {"text": "...", "attachments": [{"media_id": "1234567890"}]} Note: Media must be uploaded first using the upload_media action to obtain a media_id.

Create a list

Creates a new, empty List on X (formerly Twitter), for which the provided name must be unique for the authenticated user; accounts are added separately.

Create a post

Creates a Tweet on Twitter; `text` is required unless `card_uri`, `media_media_ids`, `poll_options`, or `quote_tweet_id` is provided. Example - Creating a tweet with media and location: { "text": "Check out our latest product update! 🚀", "media_media_ids": ["1455952740635586573"], "geo_place_id": "df51dec6f4ee2b2c" } Example - Quote tweet with commentary: { "text": "This is a game-changer for the industry! Here's why... 🧵", "quote_tweet_id": "1453828617121234945" } Example - Reply to a tweet: { "text": "Great point! Here's my take on this...", "reply_in_reply_to_tweet_id": "1453828617121234945" }

Delete direct message

Permanently deletes a specific Twitter Direct Message (DM) event using its `event_id` if the authenticated user sent it; this action is irreversible and does not delete entire conversations.

Delete list

Permanently deletes a specified Twitter List using its ID, which must be owned by the authenticated user; this action is irreversible and the list must already exist.

Get followers by user id

Retrieves a list of users who follow a specified public Twitter user ID.

Get following by user ID

Retrieves users followed by a specific Twitter user, allowing pagination and customization of returned user and tweet data fields via expansions.

Follow a list

Allows the authenticated user (`id`) to follow a specific Twitter List (`list_id`) they are permitted to access, subscribing them to the list's timeline; this does not automatically follow individual list members.

Follow a user

Allows an authenticated user (path `id`) to follow another user (`target_user_id`), which results in a pending request if the target user's tweets are protected.

Search full archive of tweets

Searches the full archive of public Tweets from March 2006 onwards; use 'start_time' and 'end_time' together for a defined time window.

Get users blocked by user ID

Retrieves the authenticated user's own block list. IMPORTANT: You can only retrieve YOUR OWN block list - the `id` parameter must be the authenticated user's ID. Use the 'Get authenticated user' action first to obtain your user ID.

Retrieve compliance job by id

Retrieves status, download/upload URLs, and other details for an existing Twitter compliance job specified by its unique ID.

Retrieve compliance jobs

Returns a list of recent compliance jobs, filtered by type (tweets or users) and optionally by status.

Get DM events for a DM conversation

Fetches Direct Message (DM) events for a one-on-one conversation with a specified participant ID, ordered chronologically newest to oldest; does not support group DMs.

Get DM events by ID

Fetches a specific Direct Message (DM) event by its unique ID, allowing optional expansion of related data like users or tweets; ensure the `event_id` refers to an existing DM event accessible to the authenticated user.

Lookup list by ID

Returns metadata for a specific Twitter List, identified by its ID; does not return list members but can expand the owner's User object via the `expansions` parameter.

Get list followers

Fetches a list of users who follow a specific Twitter List, identified by its ID; ensure the authenticated user has access if the list is private.

Fetch list members by id

Fetches members of a specific Twitter List, identified by its unique ID.

Get Media Upload Status

Get the processing status of uploaded media (videos/GIFs) on X/Twitter. Only call this when the FINALIZE command returned a processing_info field. Poll every 3–5 seconds with a 60–120 second maximum timeout to avoid HTTP 429 errors. Response state cycles through 'pending', 'in_progress', 'succeeded', and 'failed'. Only attach media_id to a tweet when state is 'succeeded'. State 'failed' is terminal — requires a completely new upload via TWITTER_UPLOAD_MEDIA or TWITTER_UPLOAD_LARGE_MEDIA. Video/GIF processing takes 30–120 seconds; posting before 'succeeded' results in non-playable media.

Get muted users

Returns user objects muted by the X user identified by the `id` path parameter.

Fetch OpenAPI specification

Fetches the OpenAPI specification (JSON) for Twitter's API v2, used to programmatically understand the API's structure for developing client libraries or tools.

Tool to retrieve analytics data for specified Posts within a defined time range. Use when you need engagement metrics, impressions, or other analytics for one or more Posts. Requires OAuth 2.0 with tweet.read and users.read scopes.

Get post retweeters

Retrieves users who publicly retweeted a specified public Post ID, excluding Quote Tweets and retweets from private accounts.

Retrieve retweets of a post

Retrieves Tweets that Retweeted a specified public or authenticated-user-accessible Tweet ID, optionally customizing the response with fields and expansions.

Fetch tweet usage data

Fetches Tweet usage statistics for a Project (e.g., consumption, caps, daily breakdowns for Project & Client Apps) to monitor API limits; data can be retrieved for 1 to 90 days.

Get recent direct message events

Returns recent Direct Message events for the authenticated user, such as new messages or changes in conversation participants.

Look up space by ID

Retrieves details for a Twitter Space by its ID, allowing for customization and expansion of related data, provided the Space ID is valid and accessible.

Retrieve posts from a space

Retrieves Tweets that were shared/posted during a Twitter Space broadcast. IMPORTANT: This endpoint returns Tweets that participants explicitly shared during the Space session, NOT audio transcripts, comments, or reactions. Most Spaces have zero associated Tweets, so empty results (result_count=0) are normal and expected. Twitter Spaces are primarily audio conversations - this endpoint only returns text Tweets that were shared alongside the audio.

Get spaces by creator IDs

Retrieves Twitter Spaces created by a list of specified User IDs, with options to customize returned data fields.

Get space information by IDs

Fetches detailed information for one or more Twitter Spaces (live, scheduled, or ended) by their unique IDs; at least one Space ID must be provided.

Fetch space ticket buyers list

Retrieves a list of users who purchased tickets for a specific, valid, and ticketed Twitter Space.

Look up user by ID

Initialize Media Upload

Initialize a media upload session for X/Twitter. Use this to start a chunked media upload process, which returns a media_id for subsequent APPEND and FINALIZE commands. Required for uploading large files or when using the chunked upload workflow.

List post likers

Retrieves users who have liked the Post (Tweet) identified by the provided ID.

List posts timeline by list ID

Fetches the most recent Tweets posted by members of a specified Twitter List.

Mute user by ID

Mutes a target user on behalf of an authenticated user, preventing the target's Tweets and Retweets from appearing in the authenticated user's home timeline without notifying the target.

Pin a list

Pins a specified List to the authenticated user's profile, provided the List exists, the user has access rights, and the pin limit (typically 5 Lists) is not exceeded.

Delete tweet

Irreversibly deletes a specific Tweet by its ID; the Tweet may persist in third-party caches after deletion.

Look up post by id

Fetches comprehensive details for a single Tweet by its unique ID, provided the Tweet exists and is accessible.

Get tweets by IDs

Retrieves detailed information for one or more Posts (Tweets) identified by their unique IDs, allowing selection of specific fields and expansions.

Search recent tweets

Searches Tweets from the last 7 days matching a query (using X's search syntax), ideal for real-time analysis, trend monitoring, or retrieving posts from specific users (e.g., `from:username`) DEFAULT FIELDS: Tweet objects always return 'id' and 'text' by default. User objects always return 'id', 'name', and 'username' by default when expanded. Do not request these default fields in field parameters. IMPORTANT LIMITATION - Impression Counts: The public_metrics.impression_count field returns 0 for search results from other users. Impression data is a non-public metric only available for tweets owned by the authenticated user. To filter by engagement, use retweet_count, like_count, or quote_count instead. Example - Get original tweets from Elon Musk since Sept 20, 2025: { "query": "from:elonmusk -is:retweet -is:reply", "start_time": "2025-09-20T00:00:00Z", "max_results": 50, "tweet_fields": ["created_at","public_metrics","text"], "expansions": ["author_id","attachments.media_keys","referenced_tweets.id"] }

Remove a list member

Removes a user from a Twitter List; the response `is_member` field will be `false` if removal was successful or the user was not a member, and the updated list of members is not returned.

Remove a bookmarked post

Removes a Tweet, specified by `tweet_id`, from the authenticated user's bookmarks; the Tweet must have been previously bookmarked by the user for the action to have an effect.

Retrieve DM conversation events

Retrieves Direct Message (DM) events for a specific conversation ID on Twitter, useful for analyzing messages and participant activities.

Retrieve posts that quote a post

Retrieves Tweets that quote a specified Tweet, requiring a valid Tweet ID.

Retrieve liked tweets by user ID

Retrieves Tweets liked by a specified Twitter user, provided their liked tweets are public or accessible.

Retweet post

Retweets a Tweet for the authenticated user. The user ID is automatically fetched from the authenticated session - you only need to provide the tweet_id to retweet.

Get full archive search counts

Returns a count of Tweets from the full archive that match a specified query, aggregated by day, hour, or minute; `start_time` must be before `end_time` if both are provided, and `since_id`/`until_id` cannot be used with `start_time`/`end_time`.

Fetch recent tweet counts

Retrieves the count of Tweets matching a specified search query within the last 7 days, aggregated by 'minute', 'hour', or 'day'.

Search for spaces

Searches for Twitter Spaces by a textual query, optionally filtering by state (live, scheduled, all) to discover audio conversations.

Send a new message to a user

Sends a new Direct Message with text and/or media (media_id for attachments must be pre-uploaded) to a specified Twitter user; this creates a new DM and does not modify existing messages.

Send a new message to a DM conversation

Sends a message, with optional text and/or media attachments (using pre-uploaded `media_id`s), to a specified Twitter Direct Message conversation.

Get tweets label stream

Stream real-time Tweet label events (apply/remove). Requires Enterprise access and App-Only OAuth 2.0 auth. Returns PublicTweetNotice or PublicTweetUnviewable events. 403 errors indicate missing Enterprise access or wrong auth type.

Unfollow a list

Enables a user (via `id`) to unfollow a specific Twitter List (via `list_id`), which removes its tweets from their timeline and stops related notifications; the action reports `following: false` on success, even if the user was not initially following the list.

Unfollow user

Allows the authenticated user to unfollow an existing Twitter user (`target_user_id`), which removes the follow relationship. The source user ID is automatically determined from the authenticated session.

Unlike post

Allows an authenticated user (`id`) to remove their like from a specific post (`tweet_id`); the action is idempotent and completes successfully even if the post was not liked.

Unmute a user by user ID

Unmutes a target user for the authenticated user, allowing them to see Tweets and notifications from the target user again. The source_user_id is automatically populated from the authenticated user's credentials.

Unpin a list

Unpins a List (specified by list_id) from the authenticated user's profile. The user ID is automatically retrieved if not provided.

Unretweet post

Removes a user's retweet of a specified Post, if the user had previously retweeted it.

Update list attributes

Updates an existing Twitter List's name, description, or privacy status, requiring the List ID and at least one mutable property.

Upload Large Media

DEPRECATED: Use TWITTER_UPLOAD_MEDIA instead. Use this to upload a single media file to X/Twitter. Automatically uses chunked upload for GIFs, videos, and images larger than 5 MB. Max file size: 512 MB; max video duration: 140 seconds. After upload, poll TWITTER_GET_MEDIA_UPLOAD_STATUS until processing_info.state=='succeeded' before attaching the media_id to a tweet — GIFs and videos take 30–120 seconds to process. A terminal 'failed' state means the media_id is unusable and the file must be re-uploaded.

Upload Media

Upload media (images only) to X/Twitter using the v2 API. Supports tweet_image, dm_image, and subtitles media categories only. One file per call; the returned media_id expires (see expires_after_secs in response), so upload immediately before creating the tweet. For GIFs, videos, or any file larger than ~5 MB, use TWITTER_UPLOAD_LARGE_MEDIA instead.

Get user reverse chronological timeline

Retrieves the home timeline (reverse chronological feed) for the authenticated Twitter user. Returns tweets from accounts the user follows as well as the user's own tweets, in reverse chronological order. Useful for displaying the personalized feed without algorithmic sorting. CRITICAL: The 'id' parameter MUST be the authenticated user's own numeric Twitter user ID - use TWITTER_USER_LOOKUP_ME to get your ID first. This endpoint cannot fetch another user's home timeline, and passing any ID that doesn't match the authenticating user (including phone numbers or other user IDs) will result in an error. DEFAULT FIELDS: Tweet objects always return 'id' and 'text' by default. User objects always return 'id', 'name', and 'username' by default when expanded. Do not request these default fields in field parameters.

Like a tweet

Allows the authenticated user to like a specific, accessible Tweet, provided neither user has blocked the other and the authenticated user is not restricted from liking. The authenticated user's ID is automatically determined from the OAuth token - you only need to provide the tweet_id.

Look up user by username

Fetches public profile information for a valid and existing Twitter user by their username, optionally expanding related data like pinned Tweets; results may be limited for protected profiles not followed by the authenticated user.

Look up users by username

Retrieves detailed information for 1 to 100 Twitter users by their usernames (each 1-15 alphanumeric characters/underscores), allowing customizable user/tweet fields and expansion of related data like pinned tweets.

Get authenticated user

Returns profile information for the currently authenticated X user, customizable via request fields.
