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.

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.
