FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the Twitter Tweets API.

What is a Twitter Tweet Scraping API?

A Twitter Tweet Scraping API retrieves public tweet data and returns it in a format an application can use. ScrapeBadger provides dedicated endpoints for tweet lookup, replies, quote tweets, retweeters, liking users, similar posts, advanced search, edit history, Community Notes, and Twitter Articles.

Do I need a Twitter or X developer account?

The documented ScrapeBadger endpoints authenticate with a ScrapeBadger API key in the x-api-key header. You do not send an X bearer token or complete an X OAuth flow when making these requests.

Can the API retrieve replies, quote tweets, retweeters, and users who liked a tweet?

Yes. ScrapeBadger provides separate endpoints for replies, quote tweets, retweeters, and favoriters. The replies and quote endpoints return tweet objects, while the retweeter and favoriter endpoints return available user-profile objects.

Can I use the API to retrieve historical tweets?

You can use supported since: and until: search operators to request tweets from a date range. Results depend on the public content and search results available from X at request time. The endpoint should not be presented as a guaranteed complete archive of every historical tweet.

How does pagination work?

Paginated responses include a top-level next_cursor. Pass that value through the endpoint’s cursor parameter to request the next page. Continue until next_cursor is null or absent.

What data does the tweet response contain?

Depending on the endpoint and the source tweet, the response can include text, author identifiers, timestamps, language, engagement metrics, views, bookmarks, media, URLs, hashtags, mentions, polls, place data, reply relationships, quote relationships, edit information, link previews, and Community Notes indicators.

How much does the Twitter Tweet API cost?

ScrapeBadger’s current credit documentation lists the 11 Twitter Tweets endpoints at one credit per successful request. Failed 4xx and 5xx requests do not consume credits. Check the live pricing page and endpoint documentation before publishing fixed price calculations.

Does the Twitter Tweet Scraping API have rate limits?

Yes. Request-per-minute limits depend on the selected ScrapeBadger plan. See the pricing table for the current limits.
