# Get a tweet and its replies on X (Twitter)

Automatically get a tweet and its replies on X (Twitter) on x.com. Get a tweet on X (Twitter) by URL, with the conversation around it: `tweet` (the post itself) and `replies` (every other post of its conversation on the page: the thread above it when it is a reply, and the replies below; use in_reply_to to rebuild the thread). Each post has id, url, author, text, created_at, lang, counts, in_reply_to and quoted_tweet. With count, it loads more replies until it has count or X reaches the end. complete is true only when X reached the end and left no folded replies (Show replies, hidden or probable-spam sections), which this script does not open. A deleted or unavailable tweet is an error. Requires being signed in to X.

## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/x.com/get_tweet`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/x.com/get_tweet
```

## Input

- `sort` (string, optional): Order of the replies, as in the page's Sort replies menu: relevance (X's default ranking), recency (newest first) or likes (most liked first).
- `count` (integer, optional): How many replies to return. Without it, the script returns the first page X shows (often 20 to 40). With it, the script loads more until it has count, reaches the end, or X stops loading; complete says whether it reached the end.
- `tweet_url` (string, optional): Full URL of the tweet, e.g. https://x.com/handle/status/123.
- `tweet_urls` (array, optional): Not supported since 19 Oct 2026: the run fails with a message saying so. Send one tweet_url per call and fan out with run_script's scripts.

## Output

- `count` (integer, optional): Number of replies returned. 0 is a valid answer.
- `tweet` (any, optional): The tweet at tweet_url. A deleted or unavailable tweet is an error.
- `replies` (array, optional)
- `complete` (boolean, optional): True when X showed the end of the conversation and every reply it sent is returned. False when there may be more. Replies behind "Show replies" are not opened, so true is a floor.
- `tweet_id` (string, optional)
