# Get one tweet with full metrics

`GET /v1/x/tweet`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.veezee.io`
- URL: `https://api.veezee.io/v1/x/tweet`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Fetch one tweet by id with full engagement metrics: views, likes, retweets, quotes, replies, bookmarks, language, and the quoted tweet inline when there is one. tweet_id is the numeric id from a tweet URL (the digits after /status/) or from any other X tool's results; full tweet URLs are accepted too. Costs 4 credits. Use this to verify engagement before citing a tweet or to read a quoted thread hop by hop. It returns a single tweet, not the conversation around it: for the author's other tweets use x_get_tweets, and to find tweets by topic use x_search.

## Query parameters

- `tweet_id` string, required: Numeric tweet id, e.g. '2054497961162478079', or a full tweet URL.
- `freshness` 'recent' | 'realtime': recent (default) serves cached data from the last few hours when available; realtime forces a live fetch for +2 credits (refunded if we fall back to cached data). Trial keys are cached-only and reject realtime with TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED; paying upgrades this same key to unlock it.
- `max_credits` integer: Spend ceiling for this one call. The call is rejected (nothing charged) if its quote exceeds this. Only the quote is ever reserved, never this ceiling.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Response `200`
