X Tweet API
Scrape X Tweet data with one API call. Returns detailed information about a specific tweet including the full text, like count, retweet count, reply count, quote count, bookmark count, view count, media attachments, author info, and creation timestamp. Any handle in the URL path is ignored: X serves a status by its numeric id, so the author reported here is the one the platform returns, which can differ from the handle you sent.
Last updated October 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
Returns one tweet in full: its text, like, retweet, reply and quote counts, media attachments, author info, and creation timestamp.
Use it when you have a tweet URL and need its complete record, including the quote count that the user timeline does not carry.

The Tweet endpoint gives you structured X data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/twitter/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FNASA%2Fstatus%2F2073078061499617543&trim=true"import requests
response = requests.get(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/twitter/tweet",
params={
'url': 'https://x.com/NASA/status/2073078061499617543',
'trim': 'true',
},
headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
data = response.json()const response = await fetch(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/twitter/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FNASA%2Fstatus%2F2073078061499617543&trim=true",
{
headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
},
);
const data = await response.json();Parameters worth sending
trim=trueSame price, lighter payload: drops the bulky raw fields.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | Full URL of the tweet. The numeric status id is what identifies it; the handle in the path is not checked |
| trim | No | Accepted for backwards compatibility and ignored. It shrank the raw upstream payload, which the canonical response never exposed, so it changed nothing you can see and cost the author details |
What does the X Tweet API return?
Every response follows one unified schema. Here is a real, unmodified response body, so you can see the exact fields you get back before spending a credit.
