User Tweets

GET /v1/twitter/user-tweets

Fetches tweets from a Twitter user's profile by handle. Note: Twitter publicly returns only ~100 of the user's most popular tweets, not chronological or latest. Each tweet includes rest_id, full_text, views count, favorite_count, retweet_count, reply_count, bookmark_count, quote_count, created_at, media entities, and url. Supports a trim parameter for a lighter response.

Authentication

All requests require the x-api-key header. Get your key at scrapecreators.com.
