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 ](/docs/twitter-tweets/retrieve-search-results-by-keyword.md)with `from:USERNAME` query to retrieve the user's timeline. ### Endpoint To request only user's tweets timeline: ```url GET https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/[user_id]/tweets?cursor=... ``` To request only user's replies timeline (this will also include own tweets): ```url GET https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/[user_id]/tweets-and-replies?cursor=... ``` ### Endpoint parameters | Name | Description | Example | | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |

user\_id
(Required)

| The ID of the user for whom to return results. | 443198458 | |

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 {% endhint %} ### 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 if you need to raise your rate limit. ### Example request ```bash curl "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/443198458/tweets-and-replies" -H 'Authorization: Bearer API_KEY' -H 'Accept: application/json' ``` [![Run In Postman](https://run.pstmn.io/button.svg)](https://god.gw.postman.com/run-collection/36444222-9d3f261a-6fc3-44cd-90eb-f0d191d6d1a8?action=collection%2Ffork\&source=rip_markdown\&collection-url=entityId%3D36444222-9d3f261a-6fc3-44cd-90eb-f0d191d6d1a8%26entityType%3Dcollection%26workspaceId%3D22407140-425b-41ff-969e-1fb938fe8e86) ### Example response ```json // If succeeded: { "next_cursor": "DAACCgACGC12FhmAJxAKAAMYLXYWGX_Y8AgABAAAAAILAAUAAADoRW1QQzZ3QUFBZlEvZ0dKTjB2R3AvQUFBQUJNWUxTNkQyQmFoUXhndFRReS9Ga0NOR0MwZG9yS1hzU2NZTFFwYm0xY1I0aGd0YmhZc1drQ3FHQzBjUXNSV1lSZ1lMVml5V3BxQU9CZ3RMbUhUV2tDb0dDMVFuVW1YMEFzWUxKYURhOVpob3hndFZtaklGakNNR0MxWGdlT1dZSE1ZTFRYNFNwZUEraGd0Y2h2bEYxRkxHQzFNMi83V1VGc1lMTTZwemhZQWt4Z3RWMkJKbDNGN0dDMWFGTXBYUUY4WUxUUERuRlp3UVE9PQgABgAAAAAIAAcAAAAADAAICgABGCyWg2vWYaMAAAA", "tweets": [ { "tweet_created_at": "2023-12-13T05:39:09.000000Z", "id_str": "1734810168053956719", "text": null, "full_text": "@TeslaHype Pace of Progress", "source": "Twitter for iPhone<\\/a>", "truncated": false, "in_reply_to_status_id_str": "1734777084268920960", "in_reply_to_user_id_str": "1311506622821400581", "in_reply_to_screen_name": "TeslaHype", "user": { "id_str": "44196397", "name": "Elon Musk", "screen_name": "elonmusk", "location": "\\ud835\\udd4f\\u00d0", "url": null, "description": "", "protected": false, "verified": false, "followers_count": 166213349, "friends_count": 506, "listed_count": 149586, "favourites_count": 37958, "statuses_count": 34934, "created_at": "2009-06-02T20:12:29.000000Z", "profile_banner_url": "https:\\/\\/pbs.twimg.com\\/profile_banners\\/44196397\\/1690621312", "profile_image_url_https": "https:\\/\\/pbs.twimg.com\\/profile_images\\/1683325380441128960\\/yRsRRjGO_normal.jpg", "can_dm": false }, "quoted_status_id_str": null, "is_quote_status": false, "quoted_status": null, "retweeted_status": null, "quote_count": 11, "reply_count": 156, "retweet_count": 78, "favorite_count": 977, "lang": "en", "entities": { "user_mentions": [ { "id_str": "1311506622821400581", "name": "Tesla Hype", "screen_name": "TeslaHype", "indices": [ 0, 10 ] } ], "urls": [], "hashtags": [], "symbols": [] }, "views_count": 32377, "bookmark_count": 19 }, { "tweet_created_at": "2023-12-13T05:38:26.000000Z", "id_str": "1734809984674693446", "text": null, "full_text": "@anammostarac Yeah", "source": "Twitter for iPhone<\\/a>", "truncated": false, "in_reply_to_status_id_str": "1734809562258276654", "in_reply_to_user_id_str": "2852570664", "in_reply_to_screen_name": "anammostarac", "user": { "id_str": "44196397", "name": "Elon Musk", "screen_name": "elonmusk", "location": "\\ud835\\udd4f\\u00d0", "url": null, "description": "", "protected": false, "verified": false, "followers_count": 166213349, "friends_count": 506, "listed_count": 149586, "favourites_count": 37958, "statuses_count": 34934, "created_at": "2009-06-02T20:12:29.000000Z", "profile_banner_url": "https:\\/\\/pbs.twimg.com\\/profile_banners\\/44196397\\/1690621312", "profile_image_url_https": "https:\\/\\/pbs.twimg.com\\/profile_images\\/1683325380441128960\\/yRsRRjGO_normal.jpg", "can_dm": false }, "quoted_status_id_str": null, "is_quote_status": false, "quoted_status": null, "retweeted_status": null, "quote_count": 4, "reply_count": 64, "retweet_count": 30, "favorite_count": 513, "lang": "en", "entities": { "user_mentions": [ { "id_str": "2852570664", "name": "Ana Mostarac", "screen_name": "anammostarac", "indices": [ 0, 13 ] } ], "urls": [], "hashtags": [], "symbols": [] }, "views_count": 25579, "bookmark_count": 3 } ] ] // If failed: { "status":"error", "message":"Failed to fetch data from Twitter" } ``` --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://socialdata.gitbook.io/docs/twitter-users/retrieve-tweets-and-replies-made-by-a-specific-user.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
