X (Twitter) search unofficial API: search tweets, no API key
Search X (Twitter) for tweets with every X search operator, from the Top tab (a ranked sample, the default) or the Latest tab (chronological), picked by the tab arg. Returns per tweet a canonical record: id, url, author {id, handle, name}, text, created_at, lang, likes, retweets, replies, quotes, bookmarks, views, is_retweet, is_quote, plus followers (the author's follower count, a search-only enrichment), and the top-level query and count. Top is a ranked sample, not exhaustive.
Get a tweet and its replies on X (Twitter)
Fetch a tweet by URL — the focal post plus the surrounding conversation. Returns `tweet` (the focal post; null if deleted/tombstoned) and `replies[]`, which holds every other tweet on the conversation page: both the focal's ancestors (the thread above it, present when the focal is itself a reply; each has `in_reply_to` null or pointing above the focal) and the replies below it (`in_reply_to` points at the focal or a sibling reply). Use `in_reply_to` to tell ancestors from replies and rebuild the thread — the array is not filtered to descendants of the focal. Each entry is a canonical tweet record: id, url, author {id, handle, name}, text, created_at, lang, likes, retweets, replies, quotes, bookmarks, views, is_retweet, is_quote, in_reply_to {id, author_handle}. Scrolls the main thread until `count` is met (then complete=false — more may exist) or it drains (complete=true). Replies behind a "Show more replies"/hidden/probable-spam cursor are not expanded, so even complete=true is a floor, not a guarantee every nested reply was seen.
X (Twitter) profile unofficial API: get a user's bio and followers
Look up an X user's profile by handle. Returns handle, user_id, name, bio, location, website, joined, followers_count, following_count, is_verified, is_self, is_following, follows_you. Follower/following counts are exact integers, not X's abbreviated "3.7M" display text. bio and website carry the real destination URLs, with X's t.co shortlinks resolved. is_following is null on your own profile (you have no follow relationship to yourself); user_id is always present.
