{% endhint %}

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 ](../twitter-tweets/retrieve-search-results-by-keyword)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

<mark style="color:orange;">**Common Issues and Best Practices**</mark>

* In languages where the`user_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
{% 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 support@socialdata.tools 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'
```
