Top endpoints

Below are a few examples of our Twitter API endpoints, requests, and responses. These examples use twurl—a command-line application that can be used to make authenticated requests to the Twitter platform. twurl is like curl, except that it abstracts away OAuth details once you configure it with your keys.

  • Search API
  • Ads API
  • Engagement API
  • Direct Message API
  • Account Activity API
  • Embed a Tweet

Search Tweets published in the last 7 days.

    # Request Tweets from last 7 days

twurl "/1.1/search/tweets.json?q=from%3ANasa%20OR%20%23nasa"

# Response, an array of Tweet JSON:

Get Tweet engagement metrics. 

Engagement API requests take an array of Tweet IDs, an array of engagement types, and a simple description of how you want the output arranged. 

    # There are three Engagement API endpoints: /totals, /28hr, and /historical. 
# Here we will be hitting the /totals endpoint, which returns total engagement metrics for Tweets posted within 90 days. 
# The /totals endpoint provides 5 engagement types, while the other two endpoint provide 16. 
# API endpoint: https://data-api.twitter.com/insights/engagement/totals

# Request total Engagements for a list of Tweets (up to 250 per request) posted within 90-days.

twurl -H data-api.twitter.com -X POST "/insights/engagement/totals" -A "Content-Type: application/json"
 -d '{
