> **For coding agents and LLMs:** This is one page from the Social Fetch docs (markdown export). For curated orientation and workflow guidance, start with [`/llms.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.txt); for agent onboarding and crawl rules, use [`/agents.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/agents.txt); for the full endpoint list with links to pages like this one, use [`/llms-endpoints.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms-endpoints.txt); for one platform's parameters and curls, use [`/llms-{platform}.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms-tiktok.txt); use [`/llms.json`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.json) when you need structured JSON for tool registration.

## API base URL and authentication

- **API origin (from OpenAPI `servers`):** `https://api.socialfetch.dev`
- **Authentication:** send `x-api-key: sfk_...` on `/v1/**` routes unless the operation is explicitly anonymous (check OpenAPI `security`, the [API reference hub](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api.mdx), [`/llms.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.txt), or [`/llms.json`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.json) for each route).
- **OpenAPI JSON:** [https://www.socialfetch.dev/openapi.json](https://www.socialfetch.dev/openapi.json)

## Recommended docs entrypoints (this site)

- [Capability matrix](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/capability-matrix.mdx) — every operation with identifiers, pagination, outcomes, media download, credits, and its SDK method. Generated from OpenAPI, so use it for route selection instead of scanning individual pages.
- [Recipes](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/recipes.mdx) — copyable workflows (brand monitoring, transcripts, Ad Library, creator scoring, Reddit research) with credit callouts and SDK examples.

- [`/llms-endpoints.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms-endpoints.txt) — every documented operation with a direct link to that route's agent-readable markdown page (prefer this over parsing OpenAPI).
- [`/llms-{platform}.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms-tiktok.txt) — per-platform endpoint files generated from OpenAPI (parameters, credits, curls).
- [`/agents.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/agents.txt) — agent crawl/onboarding file with capabilities, auth rules, and allowlist.
- [`/llms.json`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.json) — structured machine-readable operation inventory with parameter names, pagination, outcomes, credits, and SDK mapping.
- [API reference hub](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api.mdx) — human-friendly index of operations with links into generated pages.
- [Errors](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/errors.mdx) — shared error envelope and HTTP status guidance.
- [Credits](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/credits.mdx) — metering, `402`, and planning batch jobs.
- Outcome semantics such as `found`, `not_found`, and `private` are documented in [Errors](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/errors.mdx) and on operation pages when present in the OpenAPI contract.

## Markdown docs convention

- Every docs page has a markdown twin: append **`.mdx`** to the docs pathname (for example `/docs/quickstart` → `/docs/quickstart.mdx`).
- Agents that send `Accept: text/markdown` on `/docs/**` HTML URLs may receive markdown directly (same URL, `Vary: Accept`).
- Published blog posts use the same convention: `/blog/{slug}` → `/blog/{slug}.mdx`, or `Accept: text/markdown` on the HTML URL (`Vary: Accept`).

# X (Twitter) API reference (https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api/v1/twitter)

Social Fetch's Twitter tag is nine `GET /v1/twitter/...` routes. Pass a handle, tweet URL, or search query and get `{ data, meta }` with `data.lookupStatus`, `meta.requestId`, and `meta.creditsCharged`. Authenticate with `x-api-key` only — no X developer account, app approval, or OAuth.

These pages are generated from the public OpenAPI spec. Product overview and credit notes also live on the [X (Twitter) platform hub](/platforms/twitter). Official vs public-data cost: [Twitter / X API pricing](/blog/twitter-x-api-pricing).

  Profile, single tweet, transcript, and community lookups are **1 credit**. Timeline, search, hashtag, and reply-thread **pages** are **2 credits** each. Trust `meta.creditsCharged` — it is the source of truth.

## Profiles and tweets

- [Twitter profile](/docs/api/v1/twitter/profiles/handle/get) — `GET /v1/twitter/profiles/{handle}` — public profile and metrics.

- [Profile tweets](/docs/api/v1/twitter/profiles/handle/tweets/get) — `GET /v1/twitter/profiles/{handle}/tweets` — paginated timeline.

- [Single tweet](/docs/api/v1/twitter/tweets/get) — `GET /v1/twitter/tweets` — one post by permalink or id.

- [Tweet replies](/docs/api/v1/twitter/tweets/replies/get) — `GET /v1/twitter/tweets/replies` — reply thread, cursor-paged.

- [Tweet transcript](/docs/api/v1/twitter/tweets/transcript/get) — `GET /v1/twitter/tweets/transcript` — spoken text on video tweets.

## Search and communities

- [Keyword search](/docs/api/v1/twitter/search/get) — `GET /v1/twitter/search` — keyword posts with section tabs.

- [Hashtag search](/docs/api/v1/twitter/hashtags/get) — `GET /v1/twitter/hashtags` — hashtag-led discovery.

- [Community](/docs/api/v1/twitter/communities/get) — `GET /v1/twitter/communities` — community metadata by permalink.

- [Community tweets](/docs/api/v1/twitter/communities/tweets/get) — `GET /v1/twitter/communities/tweets` — paged community feed.
