FAQ

Does bookmarking need a session?

Yes. A bookmark is saved to your own X account, so you must register an X session first or the call returns session_required.

How do I remove a bookmark?

Call Remove Bookmark (tweet/unbookmark) with the same tweet id or url to delete it from your bookmarks.

Are bookmarks private?

Yes. Bookmarks are visible only to your account. This action saves to your private bookmark list.
