Path parameters

usernamestring required

Handle, with or without a leading @. 2 to 15 characters: letters, digits and underscore.

Query parameters

format'raw' | 'simple'

raw (default): X's JSON passed through. simple: flat camelCase JSON with a fixed schema and a {data, nextCursor, previousCursor, hasNextPage} envelope. Same price. The header X-Response-Format: simple does the same.

Response

Built by the API: {"userId": "12"}.

With format=simple: Unchanged inside {data: ...}: {userId} is already small, so the simple format only adds the envelope.

OR
RawPassthrough required

X's own JSON (raw format, the default), passed through unchanged. The shape is X's and can change; see https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/response-format.
