X Search

Retrieve Post by ID

Retrieve comprehensive details of a post by specifying its unique ID. This endpoint provides metadata, content, and engagement metrics associated with the specified post.

Billing metadata: successful billable responses include the X-Desearch-Cost-Usd, X-Desearch-Usage-Count, X-Desearch-Service, and X-Desearch-Currency headers. JSON object responses also include optional cost_usd, usage_count, service, and currency fields. For example, usage_count=10 at $0.015 / 1,000 resolves to cost_usd=0.00015. JSON arrays, text, and streaming responses keep their body shape and expose billing metadata only through headers.
