Twitter / X

Twitter/X Transcript API

Tweet text as a transcript — timingSource none (not speech-to-text).

Paste a public tweet URL and get the tweet body as structured text. timingSource is always "none" today — syndication text only, not speech-to-text or captions. When timingSource is "none", segment start/duration/timestamp are omitted (returned only when timingSource is "captions"). Paragraph-split transcriptSegments include index, wordCount, charStart/charEnd; estimatedReadSeconds is a top-level 200 wpm estimate — never inside duration. The dead segments count key is gone (same as reddit/post-transcript). Flat 1 credit.
