Tweets

List the top tweets on X by likes, replies or views

Changed on

Returns the tweets X ranks highest by 1 metric over the last day, week or month, as x.com's Inspiration page shows them. Covers all of X unless you pick a country or a language. Pages hold up to 20 tweets, and the list ends at 100. Each tweet costs 1 credit.

get/x/tweets/top

Request

  • Base URL: https://xquik.com/api/v1
  • URL: https://xquik.com/api/v1/x/tweets/top
  • Auth: one of:
    • API key in header x-api-key
    • HTTP bearer
    • none

Query parameters

metric'likes' | 'replies' | 'quotes' | 'bookmarks' | 'shares' | 'views'
Example:likes

What to rank tweets by. Defaults to likes. Singular names work too, such as like.

window'day' | 'week' | 'month'
Example:day

How far back to look. Defaults to day. Also takes 24h, 7d, 30d, daily, weekly and monthly.

countrystring
Example:US

Only tweets from 1 country, as a 2- or 3-letter ISO 3166 code, such as US or USA. Send country or language, not both.

languagestring
Example:en

Only tweets in 1 language, as a 2-letter code, such as en. Send country or language, not both.

cursorstring

Pagination cursor for collection results. Also read as next_cursor, next_token, pagination_token or continuation_token.

pageSizeinteger

Items per page (1-100, default 20). Source, filters or credits can return fewer. Follow next_cursor for more pages. Its aliases are limit, count, max_results, maxItems, max_items & per_page.

fieldsstring
Example:id,text,author.username

Fields to keep in each row, comma-separated. Use dots for nested fields, such as author.username. A list keeps the field in each item. Case & underscores do not matter. A row that lacks a field leaves it out. Cursors, counts & diagnostics always stay. An unknown name answers 400 unknown_field with the valid names, before any read. The price stays the same. SDK row types then hold only the named fields. A longer URL fails at the edge before Xquik reads it.

omitstring
Example:entities,media

Fields to drop from each row, comma-separated. It takes the same names as fields. With fields, it drops from the kept fields. A longer URL fails at the edge before Xquik reads it.

Response

Top tweets

filtered_countinteger

Whole number from 0.

has_next_pageboolean required
next_cursorstring required

Cursor for the next page. Send it unchanged.

readBackTostring date-time

How far back a filtered Latest search has read, in UTC. Xquik checked every newer post, so an empty page still moves this time back.

windowCompletetrue

Present on a last page whose sources all read past its start time.

searchedQuerystring

Search q as X ran it, when Xquik fixed it.
