GET https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/tweets/{id}

Example: Bearer YOUR\_API\_KEY

## Path Parameters

**id** `integer` — required

The numerical `id` of the target tweet

Example: 1729591119699124560

> **Caution**
> 
> When using languages where the `id` value exceeds the default Integer type limit (e.g., JavaScript), you should store `id` as a String. Use the `id_str` property returned by the API for these values
