# X (Twitter) Comments API (twitter.comments)

- Canonical page: https://everyinfra.com/en/twitter-api/comments
- Endpoint: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with {"platform": "twitter", "action": "comments", "params": {...}}
- Price: $0.000556 per call ($0.56 per 1,000 requests); failed calls and empty results are not charged
- Returns: list, default 20, max 50 per call
- Mode: sync; add "mode": "async" for slow tasks

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`.

## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| id | not declared | yes | not declared | 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 | not declared | no | not declared | Compatibility input for id, with lower precedence than id, which does not replace the required public id field. |
| limit | 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. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| 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. |

| retweet_count | platform-native meaning |
| reply_count | Replies, usually replies to a comment. null means not disclosed. |

| posted_at | Publish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it. |

## Response example

Real response to the example request above, captured 2026-10-24T18:28:34Z. `results` and `count` are real with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2 of 20. `id`, `billing` and `quota` differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

## 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.
