Delete an article

Delete one of your articles.

POST/client/articles/delete

Draft. The parameters on this page have not been checked against the API code yet. Make a test call before you build on it.

Your account, your proxy, your risk.

Account actions run with the session cookie of your own X account and go out through your own proxy. Use only accounts you control and follow X's rules. Automated posting, following or liking can get the account limited or suspended; that is between you and X. Treat the cookie like a password: it gives full access to the account. Trial keys cannot call these endpoints.

How to copy the cookie and which proxy to use: Your X session (cookie).

Parameters

cookiebody · string · required
Cookie header of your own logged-in X session: auth_token=...; ct0=... (guest_id is used when present). How to copy it: /docs/x-session.
proxybody · string · required
Your proxy, format http://user:pass@host:port. The requests to X go out through it. Used only for this request.
article_idbody · string · required
Numeric ID of the article, from /client/articles.

Name	In	Type	Required	Description
cookie	body	string	yes	Cookie header of your own logged-in X session: auth_token=...; ct0=... (guest_id is used when present). How to copy it: /docs/x-session.
proxy	body	string	yes	Your proxy, format http://user:pass@host:port. The requests to X go out through it. Used only for this request.
article_id	body	string	yes	Numeric ID of the article, from /client/articles.

Body parameters are sent as a JSON object with Content-Type: application/json.

Notes

Needs X Premium on the account. Without it X refuses with error code 37 ("Twitter Blue claim is not enabled").
No simple format: with format=simple the answer is the usual {status_code, response} wrapper.
The cookie and proxy fields: Your X session (cookie).

Example request

curl -X POST 'https://api.twittrapi.com/client/articles/delete' \
  --header 'X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"cookie":"auth_token=...; ct0=...","proxy":"http://user:pass@host:port","article_id":"1790000000000000000"}'

import httpx

resp = httpx.post(
    "https://api.twittrapi.com/client/articles/delete",
    headers={"X-API-KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={
        "cookie": "auth_token=...; ct0=...",
        "proxy": "http://user:pass@host:port",
        "article_id": "1790000000000000000",
    },
    timeout=60,
)
print(resp.status_code, resp.json())

const resp = await fetch("https://api.twittrapi.com/client/articles/delete", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "X-API-KEY": process.env.TWITTRAPI_API_KEY, "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    cookie: "auth_token=...; ct0=...",
    proxy: "http://user:pass@host:port",
    article_id: "1790000000000000000",
  }),
});
console.log(resp.status, await resp.json());

Base URL https://api.twittrapi.com, key in the X-API-KEY header. The SDKs do not wrap account actions, so the examples are plain HTTP calls.

Response

Wrapper built by the API: {"status_code": <X status>, "response": "<X response body as a string>"}. The HTTP status is X's status when X answered 4xx or 5xx, otherwise 200. Parse response a second time to get X's JSON.

Example response coming soon.

In the raw format, field names and nesting come from X and can change without notice. See Response format.

Errors

400The body is not valid JSON.
422A required field is missing (including proxy), an ID is not numeric, or the cookie has no ct0. Also: the account is suspended, X rejected the session, or the text was already posted.
407The proxy is unreachable or timed out.
X'sAny status X answers with (for example 401, 403, 404): passed through with X's body.

Errors every endpoint can return (401, 402, 403, 404, 408, 409, 429, 5xx), and which of them are charged, are on the Errors page. Calls that fail with 400, 407, 408, 409 or a 5xx error are refunded.
