X profile posts API

Q: Which errors can it return?

invalid_params (do not retry), not_found (do not retry). Account and platform errors from the errors list can also happen. A failure always costs 0 credits.

Q: How do I get more than one page?

Send the same request with cursor set to the cursor you received, until has_more is false . Each page costs its own price. See pagination .

Q: Is there an SDK call for it?

The preview Python client has client.twitter.profile_tweets(...) and the TypeScript client client.twitter.profileTweets() . Both return the same envelope as the HTTP API. The packages are not published yet; plain HTTP works today in any language.

Public posts of an account, as X shows them to logged-out visitors.

GETapi.socialscrape.io/v1/twitter/profile/tweets

Cost: 1 credit
Cached repeats: 0 creditssend max_age_days, results kept 30 days
Failed requests: 0 credits
Status: Betashape may still gain fields

About 20 popular posts and reposts, or, when X's public timeline widget is rate limited, the 5 newest original posts. X offers logged-out visitors no way to page further, so there is no next-page cursor.

You send handle.

Request

Send your key in the x-api-key header.

curl

curl -G "https://api.socialscrape.io/v1/twitter/profile/tweets" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SOCIALSCRAPE_API_KEY" \

Python

import os
import requests

params = {

}
res = requests.get(
    "https://api.socialscrape.io/v1/twitter/profile/tweets",
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["SOCIALSCRAPE_API_KEY"]},
    params=params,
    timeout=60,
)
body = res.json()

if body["ok"]:
    print(body["data"])
else:
    print(body["error"]["code"], body["error"]["message"])

TypeScript

How do I get more than one page?

Send the same request with cursor set to the cursor you received, until has_more is false. Each page costs its own price. See pagination.

Is there an SDK call for it?

The preview Python client has client.twitter.profile_tweets(...) and the TypeScript client client.twitter.profileTweets(). Both return the same envelope as the HTTP API. The packages are not published yet; plain HTTP works today in any language.

Can an AI agent call it?

Yes. The MCP server reaches every built endpoint, with the same prices.
