X (Twitter) Comments API

Q: Can I pass the post link instead of the ID?

Not in id, which takes only the number. From a link like x.com/ /status/ , copy the number and send it as a string so its digits stay exact. tweet_id is accepted as a compatibility alias, but id remains required and takes priority.

Q: Which replies should I read first?

Sort by like_count to see which replies other readers agreed with, and check author_follower_count to spot replies from accounts with large audiences. Replies with a high reply_count mark where a sub-thread formed around one particular point.

Collect the replies under an X (Twitter) post. Each reply has text, author, the author's follower count and its own engagement numbers. Send the original post's numeric id. The full conversation is not guaranteed.

Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to twitter and action set to comments. Price $0.56 per 1,000 requests ($0.000556 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

X (Twitter) Comments reads the replies posted under one X post, given that post's numeric id. Each row is one reply: what it says in full, its link, how many likes, reposts, replies and views it drew, when it went up, and who wrote it, down to that person's handle, display name, profile link and audience size. Brand, support and research teams use it to hear how people respond to a post: reactions to an announcement, customer complaints under a brand's post, or the tone of the conversation around a public statement.

The id you send identifies the original post, while the id on each returned row identifies a reply. A reply's own reply_count shows whether it started a side conversation, and author_follower_count tells you how far the reply author's voice carries. To read the original post's text and numbers, call the X (Twitter) Post details capability with the same id.

AI prompt

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra X (Twitter) Comments endpoint (twitter/comments).

How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to twitter and action to comments, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - id: Numeric post ID for post or comments, corresponding to the digits following x.com/username/status/. It is recommended to store this as a string to prevent JavaScript large integer precision loss.
- Optional parameters:
  - tweet_id: Compatibility input for id, with lower precedence than id, which does not replace the required public id field.
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 50. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 20)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: id, url, text, like_count, retweet_count, reply_count, view_count, posted_at, author_username, author_name, author_url, author_follower_count; 37 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=twitter.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "twitter",
  "action": "comments",
  "params": {
    "id": "2103610284464316469"
  }
}
- Price: $0.56 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Request parameters

Name	In	Type	Required	Default	Description
`Authorization`	header	`string`	Yes	-	Bearer followed by your API key. Create it in the console; never put it in a URL or a code repository.
`platform`	body	`string`	Yes	`twitter`	Platform identifier, fixed value.
`action`	body	`string`	Yes	`comments`	Capability identifier, fixed value.
`id`	body.params	`string`	Yes	-	Numeric post ID for post or comments, corresponding to the digits following x.com/username/status/. It is recommended to store this as a string to prevent JavaScript large integer precision loss; do not pass full URLs into id.
`tweet_id`	body.params	`string`	No	-	Compatibility input for id, with lower precedence than id, which does not replace the required public id field.
`limit`	body.params	`integer (1–50)`	No	`20`	The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 50. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge.

Code samples

bash

curl -X POST 'https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social' \

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

Field	Meaning
`id`	The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
`url`	Link to the record on the platform.
`text`	Body text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so).
`like_count`	Likes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0.
`retweet_count`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`reply_count`	Replies, usually replies to a comment. null means not disclosed.

FAQ

Can I pass the post link instead of the ID?

Not in id, which takes only the number. From a link like x.com/<handle>/status/<number>, copy the number and send it as a string so its digits stay exact. tweet_id is accepted as a compatibility alias, but id remains required and takes priority.

Which replies should I read first?

Sort by like_count to see which replies other readers agreed with, and check author_follower_count to spot replies from accounts with large audiences. Replies with a high reply_count mark where a sub-thread formed around one particular point.

What does an empty result mean?

No rows means no public replies came back for that post ID: the post may have no replies, or the number may not belong to a post. Check the id against the post's link before you retry. Calls that come back empty are not charged.

Errors and billing

401: Missing or invalid key.
402: Insufficient balance. Top up first.
422: Invalid parameter name or value. Fix it using the suggestions in the error. No charge.
429: Per-minute request limit reached. Wait for Retry-After, then try again.
503: Could not complete. The held charge is returned to your balance. If the outcome is unknown, verify it before you retry.
200 empty: No data. No charge.

X: Original Post ID, Conversation ID, and Reply Relationships ↗
X uses conversation_id to indicate the original post ID that initiated a conversation, which multi-level replies can share; reconstructing parent-child relationships requires parent post identifiers. This endpoint does not expose these relationship fields, so official example reply trees should not be expected in current output.
