get_user_by_usernameread-onlyLook up a Twitter/X user profile by username (handle). Returns the profile including follower and following counts. Bills one user request against the caller's balance.
get_user_by_idread-onlyLook up a Twitter/X user profile by numeric user ID. Bills one user request against the caller's balance.
search_usersread-onlySearch Twitter/X user profiles by name or handle. Returns one page of matching profiles and bills against the caller's balance. Use this when you know roughly who someone is but not their exact handle.
get_tweetread-onlyFetch a single Twitter/X post by its numeric ID, including engagement counts. Bills one post request against the caller's balance.
get_tweet_threadread-onlyFetch one page of a Twitter/X thread — the chain of follow-up posts the author wrote under their own post ("1/", "2/", ...). Give it the ID of any post in the chain and it returns that chain in order. It does NOT return what other people replied; use get_tweet_comments for those. A post the author never followed up on is a one-post thread and correctly returns just that post. Roughly 30 posts per
get_tweet_commentsread-onlyFetch one page of replies to a Twitter/X post. Returns about 20 replies plus a next_cursor. The first item of a page can repeat the last item of the previous page, so de-duplicate by post id when paging. Each call bills against the caller's balance — do not page through the whole conversation unless the user asked for that.
get_user_tweetsread-onlyFetch one page of a user's own posts (excluding replies), newest first. Returns about 20 posts plus a next_cursor. If the account has a pinned post it is prepended to every page, so de-duplicate by post id when paging. Each call bills against the caller's balance — do not page through a whole timeline unless the user asked for that. Requires a numeric user ID: call get_user_by_username first if yo
get_user_tweets_and_repliesread-onlyFetch one page of a user's posts including their replies, newest first. Returns about 20 items plus a next_cursor. If the account has a pinned post it is prepended to every page, so de-duplicate by post id when paging. Each call bills against the caller's balance. Requires a numeric user ID: call get_user_by_username first if you only have a handle.
get_user_mentionsread-onlyFetch one page of posts mentioning a given user, newest first. Returns about 20 posts plus a next_cursor. The first item of a page can repeat the last item of the previous page, so de-duplicate by post id when paging. Each call bills against the caller's balance.
get_user_followersread-onlyFetch one page of a user's followers. This is one of the most expensive tools: a page is set upstream and can run to ~100 user records, every one of which is billed. Never page through a large account's followers without the user explicitly asking. Requires a numeric user ID.
get_user_followingread-onlyFetch one page of the accounts a user follows. Expensive: a page is set upstream and can run to ~100 user records, every one of which is billed. Never page through a large account's following list without the user explicitly asking. Requires a numeric user ID.
check_is_followingread-onlyCheck whether one Twitter/X user follows another. Far cheaper than fetching a follower list — use this whenever the question is about a specific pair of accounts. Both IDs must be numeric.
search_tweetsread-onlySearch Twitter/X posts. Returns one page of about 20 results plus a next_cursor, and bills one search request against the caller's balance. The query supports Twitter's advanced search operators, and using them is almost always better than a bare keyword search: from:handle posts by an account to:handle replies to an account @handle posts mentioning an accou
get_list_tweetsread-onlyFetch one page of posts from a Twitter/X list, newest first. A page is large — around 100 posts — plus a next_cursor. Billing is per result, so one call here costs several times a single-user timeline call; do not page through a busy list unless the user asked for that.
