# Look up an X post by id or URL

`GET /socials/twitter/tweets/lookup`

## Request

Resolve one X post into its text, author and public metrics. Unlike search this is not limited to the last 7 days, which is what makes it the way to read the parent of a thread before replying to it. Takes the identifier as a query parameter so a full post URL, which contains slashes, can be passed.

- `id` string, required
- `account_id` string

## Response `200`
