Twitter/X Tweet Details API
One tweet as JSON — text, author (followers), likes/replies/retweets/quotes, media, ISO publishedAt.
Paste a tweet URL and get clean JSON using the same tweet contract as User Tweets and Community Tweets: text, language, ISO-8601 publishedAt, author (username, displayName, verified, avatar, followers when exposed), engagement{likes,replies,retweets,quotes} plus views/bookmarks when GraphQL exposes them (omitted, not nulled, when it does not), isReply / isRetweet / isQuote, hashtags[], and media[]. Guest GraphQL TweetResultByRestId fills views/bookmarks when available; otherwise we hydrate retweets/quotes/followers from the popular timeline / profile. Flat 1 credit per call.
