# Twitter/X Tweet Details API

`GET /v1/twitter/tweet-details`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.captapi.com`
- URL: `https://api.captapi.com/v1/twitter/tweet-details`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`

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.
