Frequently asked questions

What does the Twitter/X Community Tweets API do?

The Twitter/X Community Tweets API lets you list items in bulk with metadata from a public Twitter / X tweet using one GET request to /v1/twitter/community-tweets. It returns clean JSON — no OAuth or infrastructure setup required.

How many credits does the Twitter/X Community Tweets API cost?
