Retrieve tweet details

WARNING:

You are viewing an outdated version of our documentation. For the latest and most accurate information, please visit docs.socialdata.tools.

Endpoint

GET https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/statuses/show?id=...
  or
GET https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/tweets/[id]

Endpoint parameters

Name	Description	Example
id (Required)	The numerical ID of the desired Tweet.	1729591119699124560

Common Issues and Best Practices

• In languages where the id value exceeds the default Integer type limit (e.g., Node.js), store id as a string. Use the id_str property returned by the API for these values

Response codes

• HTTP 200 OK - succeeded

• HTTP 402 Payment Required - not enough credits to perform this request

• HTTP 404 Not Found - requested tweet does not exist

• HTTP 422 Unprocessable Content - validation failed (e.g. one of the required parameters was not provided)

• HTTP 500 Internal Server Error - other error, typically means that SocialData API failed to obtain the requested information and you should try again later

Rate limits

By default each user has a limit of 120 requests per minute shared across all endpoints. Please reach out to [e-mail] if you need to raise your rate limit.
