> **For coding agents and LLMs:** This is one page from the Social Fetch docs (markdown export). The sections below mirror the orientation block in [`/llms.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.txt); use [`/llms.json`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.json) when you need a structured operation inventory. The catalog covers documented operations with on-site reference pages.

## 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).

- 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`).

# List Twitter profile tweets (https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api/v1/twitter/profiles/handle/tweets/get)

## Summary

Returns up to roughly 100 of the account's most popular public tweets as ranked by X. This is not a chronological timeline and is not paginated with a cursor. For handle resolution, inspect `data.lookupStatus` (`found` vs `not_found`). An empty `data.tweets` array can still accompany `lookupStatus: "found"` when the account resolves but has no eligible tweets in this set—call `GET /v1/twitter/profiles/{handle}` first if you need `private` vs `not_found` for the account itself.

**Tags:** `Twitter`

## HTTP

- **Method:** GET
- **Path:** `/v1/twitter/profiles/{handle}/tweets`
- **Base URL:** `https://api.socialfetch.dev`

## Capability summary

- **SDK mapping:** `client.twitter.getProfileTweets({ handle, trim? })`
- **Accepted identifiers:** `handle` (path)
- **Pagination:** none
- **Ordering / list behavior:** Default list behavior returns popular results.
- **Business outcome field:** `data.lookupStatus` with values `found`, `not_found`
- **Trimmed response mode:** supported via `trim=true`

## Authentication

- **`x-api-key`**: API key (`sfk_...`)

## Parameters

### `handle` (path)

- **Required:** yes
- **Constraints:** type `string`
- **Description:** X handle to look up, with or without a leading @.

### `trim` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `boolean`
- **Description:** Optional: omit per-tweet author and profile card for a smaller response.

## Behavior notes

- **`trim`**: Optional: omit per-tweet author and profile card for a smaller response.

## Responses (status codes)

- **200**: Tweets for the requested profile. Use `data.lookupStatus`: `not_found` when the handle cannot be resolved; `found` when the handle resolves (check `data.tweets`—it may be empty when there are no popular public tweets in this response). Prefer `GET /v1/twitter/profiles/{handle}` first if you need explicit `private` vs `not_found` for the account before interpreting an empty tweet list.
- **400**: Invalid handle or bad request
- **401**: Missing or invalid API key
- **402**: Insufficient credits
- **500**: Unexpected or billing error
- **502**: Lookup could not be completed from the response (unexpected or invalid data).
- **503**: Service temporarily unavailable; safe to retry with backoff.

## Response body (200)

Tweets for the requested profile. Use `data.lookupStatus`: `not_found` when the handle cannot be resolved; `found` when the handle resolves (check `data.tweets`—it may be empty when there are no popular public tweets in this response). Prefer `GET /v1/twitter/profiles/{handle}` first if you need explicit `private` vs `not_found` for the account before interpreting an empty tweet list.

### Example JSON (empty)

```json
{
  "data": {
    "lookupStatus": "found",
    "profile": null,
    "tweets": []
  },
  "meta": {
    "requestId": "req_01example_empty",
    "creditsCharged": 1,
    "version": "v1"
  }
}
```

### Example JSON (not_found)

```json
{
  "data": {
    "lookupStatus": "not_found",
    "profile": null,
    "tweets": []
  },
  "meta": {
    "requestId": "req_01example_nf",
    "creditsCharged": 1,
    "version": "v1"
  }
}
```

### Machine-readable error codes

When an error JSON body is returned, it may include one of these `error.code` values (derived from the OpenAPI schemas for this operation; additional codes may exist at runtime):

- `bad_request`

## Error handling & retries

Interpret HTTP status codes using the descriptions below. Do not assume a JSON body unless the OpenAPI schema defines one for that status.

- **400**: Invalid handle or bad request **Retry:** Fix the request; retrying the same invalid payload will not help.
- **401**: Missing or invalid API key **Retry:** Fix the API key first; retrying without changes will not help.
- **402**: Insufficient credits **Retry:** Do not retry without resolving billing/credits (retrying the same request will not help).
- **500**: Unexpected or billing error
- **502**: Lookup could not be completed from the response (unexpected or invalid data). **Retry:** May be transient; a few retries with backoff are reasonable.
- **503**: Service temporarily unavailable; safe to retry with backoff. **Retry:** Usually safe to retry with exponential backoff and jitter.

### Suggested client defaults

- Send the API key using the `x-api-key` header on every request.
- On `503` (and sometimes `502`), retry with backoff; cap retries and surface a clear error to the user.
- On `402`, surface an actionable billing message rather than blind retries.

## Examples

### TypeScript SDK

```typescript
import { SocialFetchClient } from "@socialfetch/sdk";

const client = new SocialFetchClient({
  apiKey: process.env.SOCIALFETCH_API_KEY!,
});

const result = await client.twitter.getProfileTweets({
  handle: "charlidamelio",
});

if (!result.ok) {
  console.error(result.error);
} else {
  console.log(result.value.data);
}
```

### Node.js

```javascript
const response = await fetch(
  "https://api.socialfetch.dev/v1/twitter/profiles/charlidamelio/tweets",
  {
    headers: {
      "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    }
  }
);

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
```

### cURL

```bash
curl "https://api.socialfetch.dev/v1/twitter/profiles/charlidamelio/tweets" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

### Python

```python
import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.socialfetch.dev/v1/twitter/profiles/charlidamelio/tweets",
    headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
data = response.json()
print(data)
```

### Example: optional query parameters

First request illustrating common optional query flags (adjust values to your integration):

```javascript
const url = "https://api.socialfetch.dev/v1/twitter/profiles/charlidamelio/tweets?trim=true";
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
});
const data = await response.json();
```
