Undo Retweet API | Remove a Twitter Retweet

Undo Retweet removes a previously recorded retweet on behalf of your own authenticated X account. It requires a registered X session and returns ok:true when the retweet is removed. Pass the tweet id or url as a query parameter. This is a write action billed at $0.0008 per call, the same as a standard read.

FAQ

What does Undo Retweet take?

The tweet id or url as a query parameter, plus a registered X session. It returns ok:true once the retweet is removed.

Is a session required?

Yes. Removing a retweet acts on your own account, so a registered session is required or the call returns session_required.

What if the tweet was never retweeted?

It returns ok:true since the resulting state is no retweet recorded. The action is safe to repeat.
