Search X (formerly Twitter)

Search X by keywords. type picks the mode: recent (default) is the deep chronological sweep and keeps paginating as far as you follow the cursor; popular returns the highest-engagement tweets for the query; people finds accounts and returns a single page (no cursor). Advanced query operators pass through verbatim, e.g. "from:nasa", "min_faves:100", exact phrases in quotes -- there is no separate date parameter, so use since:/until: operators for time windows. Costs 6 credits per page; a cursor page is a NEW call priced the same way, so a deep sweep costs linearly in pages. Returns tweet summaries (text, author with follower count, views, likes, retweets, replies, created_at, url, id) with a cursor. Fetch one tweet's full detail with x_get_tweet and an account's timeline with x_get_tweets. For comment-level sentiment inside topic communities, reddit_search type=comments is usually the sharper instrument.
