X (Formerly Twitter) | Yext Hitchhikers Platform
Overview
Use the X native source (formerly Twitter) to list the most recent posts composed by a specified user ID.
This documentation reflects the current state of the X API documentation, which still makes references to Twitter and “tweets.”
Operations
This source uses the Twitter API timeline endpoints to Fetch Tweets.
Requirements
You are required to provide the user ID associated with your X account. This can be found using a number of third-party Handle-to-ID converters online, such as TweeterID.
You will need at least Basic tier access to fetch tweets.
Authentication
You can authenticate via Bearer Token. You can obtain a Bearer Token from the Twitter developer portal inside the Keys and Tokens section of your app’s settings.
Pagination
X utilizes cursor pagination.
| Cursor | meta.next_token |
| Cursor Type | TOKEN |
| Detect Cursor In | Response Body |
