Last updated 1 day ago

WARNING:

You are viewing an outdated version of our documentation.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

Returns array of tweets from the user's tweets and replies timeline. Typically Twitter returns ~20 results per page. You can request additional search results by sending another request to the same endpoint using cursor parameter.

This endpoint doesn't support any filters and we can't adjust the number of items returned in the response. To have more flexibility - you may also use the with from:USERNAME query to retrieve the user's timeline.

Endpoint

To request only user's tweets timeline:

GET https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/[user_id]/tweets?cursor=...

To request only user's replies timeline (this will also include own tweets):

GET https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/[user_id]/tweets-and-replies?cursor=...

Endpoint parameters

Name
Description
Example

Common Issues and Best Practices

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

  • Always URL-encode the cursor value when passing it back to the API for subsequent requests

Response codes

  • HTTP 200 OK - succeeded

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

  • HTTP 403 Forbidden - user's profile is set to "protected"

  • HTTP 404 Not Found - requested user 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 support@socialdata.tools if you need to raise your rate limit.

Example request

curl "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/443198458/tweets-and-replies"
