Capabilities
Accounts start from a username. Timeline endpoints take the numeric account ID, which the profile returns as rest_id, and a post is identified by the number after /status/ in its URL.
Post search passes your query to X unchanged, so operators such as from:, since:, and lang: work as they do on X. Choose the Top, Latest, People, or Media tab, and page through results with a cursor. See examples
A username returns the account's rest_id, name, bio, follower, following, and post counts, profile and banner images, verification, and creation date. Its posts, replies, and highlights are separate calls on that rest_id. See examples
Pass a WOEID to get the trending topics for that place, each with its name, search query, and URL, plus a post volume when X reports one. The WOEID endpoint lists the locations, and the default is the United States. See examples
A post ID returns the post along with the replies that load under it. For more replies, the replies endpoint pages through them sorted by relevance, recency, or likes. See examples
List search finds public lists by keyword, and a separate endpoint returns the public lists an account owns. List members and list timelines are not offered. See examples
The media endpoint returns an account's posts that contain photos or videos, one page at a time, by rest_id. Use it for a gallery that should skip text-only posts. See examples
Shortened examples
A post, a profile, a trend, and a reply, each trimmed from a response body. Live responses also include a meta object, and the counts are the ones in the samples. Post and user objects arrive largely as X sends them.

}The X docs cover post search, post details and replies, profiles, followers and following, user timelines and media, lists, relationships, trends, and batch lookups. Each paginated endpoint names the cursor key it returns.
Every endpoint in the documentation includes a sample request in Shell, JavaScript, PHP, and Python.

* Overage is optional and stays off until you turn it on in Billing. It is available on paid plans billed by card through Stripe, and not during a trial. Usage is counted in monthly periods that start on your billing day, yearly plans included. Requests past the included limit are charged at the plan's rate for each started block of 1,000, up to the overage cap, on one invoice after the period ends. Amounts under $0.50 carry over to the next invoice. If you change plans during a period, the limit and overage rate of the plan you are on when the period ends apply to the whole period.
The Free plan is also capped at 20 requests per day (New York time). Requests count by endpoint weight, and only responses with HTTP status 200 count.
Commercial use is included only on the plans that list it. If you are not sure whether your project counts as commercial use, email [email protected] before you launch.
