Retrieve tweets and replies made by a specific user
WARNING:
You are viewing an outdated version of our documentation. For the latest and most accurate information, please visit docs.socialdata.tools.
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 Search endpoint with from:USERNAME query to retrieve the user's timeline.

Common Issues and Best Practices
In languages where the
user_idvalue exceeds the default Integer type limit (e.g., Node.js), storeuser_idas a string. Use theid_strproperty returned by the API for these valuesAlways URL-encode the
cursorvalue 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.
