## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| url | not declared | yes | not declared | Link to any post in the thread, https://x.com/<username>/status/<ID>, or the numeric post ID. |
| id | not declared | no | not declared | Compatibility input: the numeric post ID; `url` takes precedence. |

## 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. |
| 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 | platform-native meaning |
| reply_count | Replies, usually replies to a comment. null means not disclosed. |
| view_count | Views or plays. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
| 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. |
| author_username | Author's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs. |
| author_name | Author's display name. |
| author_url | Link to the author's profile on the platform. |
| author_follower_count | Author's follower count. null means not disclosed. |
| quote_count | platform-native meaning |
| bookmark_count | platform-native meaning |
| language | Content language code (for example zh, en) as judged by the platform; it can be wrong. |
| conversation_id | platform-native meaning |
| is_reply | platform-native meaning |
| reply_to_id | platform-native meaning |

| author_is_verified | platform-native meaning |
| author_following_count | platform-native meaning |
| author_created_at | platform-native meaning |
| author_banner_url | platform-native meaning |
