How do I get a user's tweets with an API?

Send a GET request to /v1/twitter/user-tweets with the handle parameter (no @ symbol). SocialCrawl returns an array of the user's recent tweets with full text, engagement counts, media attachments, and creation timestamps in a unified schema.

What fields are returned per tweet?

Each tweet includes tweet ID, full text, like count, retweet count, reply count, quote count, media attachments (images, video URLs), language, creation timestamp, and a boolean flag for whether the tweet is a retweet or quote.

Can I trim the response to save bandwidth?

Yes. Pass the optional trim=true parameter and the endpoint returns a lighter payload with just the essential fields. Useful when you only need text, IDs, and engagement counts for bulk collection jobs.

How much does this endpoint cost?

One credit per request on the standard tier. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card required. There's no rate limit — you pay only for what you pull, and there is no monthly minimum or subscription required.

Do I need an X API Pro subscription to read tweets?

No. SocialCrawl doesn't use the official X API, so you don't need Pro, Basic, or Enterprise access. Send your x-api-key and a handle — public tweet data comes back directly without a developer portal.
