Get User's Tweets and Replies - API Reference

Returns array of tweets from the user’s tweets and replies timeline. Typically Twitter returns ~20 results per page. You can request additional search results by sending another request to the same endpoint using cursor parameter.

The endpoint only works with profiles that are ‘public’ and will fail to retrieve tweets for profiles with ‘protected’ privacy setting.

Tip

This endpoint doesn’t support any filters and we can’t adjust the number of items returned in the response. To have more flexibility - you may also use the Search endpoint with from:USERNAME query to retrieve the user’s timeline. Our advanced search endpoint supports all of Twitter’s search operators

Endpoint

To request only user’s tweets timeline:

GET https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/{user_id}/tweets?cursor={cursor}

To request only user’s replies timeline (this will also include own tweets):

GET https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/{user_id}/tweets-and-replies?cursor={cursor}

Headers

Authorization string required

Authorization Bearer header containing your SocialData API key

Example: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Path Parameters

user_id integer required

The numerical ID of the desired user

Example: 443198458

Query Parameters

cursor string optional

Cursor value obtained from next_cursor response property. Omit this value to retrieve the first page. Always remember to urlendode the value

Example: DAACCgACGC12FhmAJxAKAAMYLXYWGX_Y8AgABAAAAAILAAUAAADoRW1QQzZ3QUFBZlEvZ0d...

Caution

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

Code Examples

curl

curl "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/44196397/tweets"
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer API_KEY'
    -H 'Accept: application/json'

JavaScript

const userId = '44196397';
const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE';

fetch(`https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/${userId}/tweets`, {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
        'Accept': 'application/json'
    }
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(response => console.log(response))
.catch(err => console.error(err));

Python

import requests

userId = '44196397'
API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'

url = f'https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/{userId}/tweets'

headers = {
    'Authorization': f'Bearer {API_KEY}',
    'Accept': 'application/json'
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

if response.status_code == 200:
    data = response.json()
    print(data)
else:
    print(f"Error: {response.status_code}")
    print(response.text)

PHP

$userId = '44196397';
$API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE';

$url = "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/{$userId}/tweets";

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($ch, [
    CURLOPT_URL => $url,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
        "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY",
        "Accept: application/json"
    ]
]);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
$data = json_decode($response, true);
print_r($data);

curl_close($ch);
