    - `id` string, required: X's id for the post.
    - `url` string, uri, required: The post on X.
    - `text` string, nullable, required: The whole text. Links stay as X shortens them.
    - `created_at` string, date-time, nullable, required: When it was posted. `null` when the source does not say.
    - `lang` string, nullable, required: The language X detected, e.g. `en`.
    - `author` object, required: Who posted it.
      - `id` string, nullable, required: X's numeric id for the account.
      - `username` string, required: Without the @.
      - `name` string, nullable, required: The display name.
      - `profile_url` string, uri, required: The account on X.

      - `verified` boolean, nullable, required: Whether the account has a checkmark.
    - `conversation_id` string, nullable, required: The first post of the thread it belongs to.
    - `referenced_tweets` object[], required: The post it replies to, quotes or reposts, as X's API names them.
      - `type` 'replied_to' | 'quoted' | 'retweeted', required: How this post refers to it: a reply, a quote or a repost.
      - `id` string, required: X's id for that post.
    - `public_metrics` object, required: `null` where the source does not give one.
      - `retweet_count` integer, nullable, required: Reposts.

    - `credits_charged` integer, required: The endpoint's published cost. 0 for a demo answer, and for a list emptied because everyone in it asked not to be served. A failed call has no `meta`: it answers with an error, and is refunded.
    - `credits_remaining` integer
    - `cached` boolean, required
    - `fetched_at` string, date-time, required: When the data was actually fetched — the original time on a cache hit, so freshness is always visible.

    - `demo` boolean: Present, and true, on a demo answer (`?demo=true` with no key).
    - `note` string: On a demo answer: what it is, and what a live call costs.
