Twitter Search API | Full-Text Tweet and User Search
Search: Full-text and structured search across tweets and users. Filter by query operators, author, date, language, and engagement.
Full-text and structured search across tweets and users. Filter by query operators, author, date, language, and engagement.
Advanced Tweet Search is the flagship endpoint on this whole API: full Twitter/X operator syntax (from:, min_faves:, lang:, date ranges, and the rest), cursor-paginated. Use it when you know what you are looking for in tweet content or metadata. Use User Search instead when you are trying to resolve a person or brand from a partial name, handle, or bio keyword rather than searching their posts. The two rarely combine in one call: search users first to get an ID or handle, then feed that into a User Reads or Tweet Details endpoint for the actual content.
This category has 2 endpoints. Each is a pay-per-call REST endpoint with bearer auth, JSON in and out.
