--- title: "Get X Posts by Username" method: GET path: "/twitter/user/posts" tags: ["X Search"] --- # Get X Posts by Username `GET /twitter/user/posts` ## Request - Base URL: `https://api.desearch.ai` - URL: `https://api.desearch.ai/twitter/user/posts` - Auth: API key in header `Authorization` Retrieve user's timeline posts by specifying their username. This endpoint fetches the latest tweets posted by the user associated with the provided username. 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. ## Query parameters - `username` string, required: Username to fetch posts for - `cursor` string, nullable: Cursor for pagination ## Response `200` A JSON object mapping X Posts -
