x_get_tweets 4 credits
Fetch one page of an X account's timeline. identifier is a screen name, profile URL, or numeric id (auto-detected). mode picks the view: posts (default) is the account's own tweets, posts_and_replies includes their replies, highlights is the account's pinned highlights tab. include_retweets (default true) filters retweets out when false. Costs 4 credits per page; a cursor page is a NEW call priced the same way. Returns tweet summaries with engagement counts and a cursor for older tweets. Use this for 'what has X been posting', voice checks before outreach, or drafting replies in an account's register. For keyword search across all of X use x_search; for one specific tweet you already have, x_get_tweet.
Parameters
| Param | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
identifier | yes | string | Screen name without the @, profile URL, or numeric account id. |
mode | no | string | Which timeline view to read. |
include_retweets | no | boolean | Set false to drop retweets from the page. |
cursor | no | string | Cursor from a previous page for older tweets. |
freshness | no | string | recent (default) serves cached data from the last few hours when available; realtime forces a live fetch for +2 credits (refunded if we fall back to cached data). |
max_credits | no | integer | Spend ceiling for this one call. The call is rejected (nothing charged) if its quote exceeds this. Only the quote is ever reserved, never this ceiling. |

| Code | HTTP status | Retriable | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
INVALID_INPUT | 400 | no | A parameter failed validation. Check param and message for what to fix. |
NOT_FOUND | 404 | no | Nothing matches the given identifier or URL. |
UNAUTHORIZED | 401 | no | Missing, invalid, or revoked API key. |
NOT_ENTITLED | 403 | no | This account is not enabled for the platform you called. |
INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS | 402 | no | Your balance can't cover this call's quote. Check get_usage or add credits. |
QUOTE_EXCEEDS_MAX_CREDITS | 402 | no | The call's quote is higher than the max_credits you set. Nothing was charged. |
IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REQUIRED | 400 | no | This is a metered call; send an Idempotency-Key header. |
IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED | 409 | no | That Idempotency-Key was already used with different arguments. Use a new key for a new call. |
CONCURRENCY_LIMIT | 429 | yes | Too many calls in flight for this key's plan. Wait for one to finish. |
RATE_LIMITED | 429 | yes | Too many calls per minute for this key's plan. Back off and retry. |

BUDGET_EXHAUSTED | 503 | no | A configured spend budget has been used up. |

Errors a payment can fix add fields to this shape. INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS, TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED, and BUDGET_EXHAUSTED carry upgrade_url (give it to your human) and offer, its machine-readable twin; RATE_LIMITED and CONCURRENCY_LIMIT carry both on trial accounts only, where a paid plan raises the limit. offer holds offer_version (1), reason (the error code), currency ("usd"), recommended (which pack to lead with, currently flex), packs (pack, mode, price_usd_cents, credits or credits_per_month, and when, a short label for when that pack fits), rails (currently stripe_checkout), checkout_url (the same account-bound link as upgrade_url), resume, and refund_policy. Follow offer.resume after payment: INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS retries the same call with the SAME Idempotency-Key; TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED and BUDGET_EXHAUSTED retry with a fresh key; the two limit codes clear on their own with back-off, payment only raises the limit. INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS also sets credits_required: the credits the failed call needed. The failed attempt charged nothing.
