Twitter Replies API | Get Replies to a Tweet

Tweet Replies fetches the direct replies to a tweet by its ID or URL, cursor-paginated as full tweet objects. Pair it with Tweet Detail to reconstruct a discussion or measure reply sentiment under a post. Each page is one $0.0008 read at roughly 20 replies per call.

Pricing

Each page of replies is one $0.0008 read, so a heavily-replied tweet costs one call per page. Stop paging once you have the replies you need.

When to use

Use it to read the conversation under a post, for example pulling every reply to a launch tweet to gauge sentiment.

Pagination

This endpoint is cursor-paginated and returns roughly 20 records per call. Pass the next_cursor from each response back as the cursor parameter to read the next page. Stop when the records array comes back empty: follower-graph endpoints return a non-null cursor even on the final page, so the empty array is the only reliable stop signal. See Pagination for the full loop.

FAQ

Does Tweet Replies return nested replies?

It returns the direct replies to the tweet you pass. To follow a sub-thread, take a reply's ID and call Tweet Replies again on it.

How do I page through every reply?

Send the next_cursor as the cursor parameter and repeat until the tweets array comes back empty, which is the stop signal.

Can I pass a tweet URL?

Yes. Provide either the numeric id or the full status url of the parent tweet.
