User articles
User articles
X Articles (long-form posts) published by a user.
GET
/user/{userId}/articlesParameters
userIdpath · string · requiredNumeric user ID (digits only, up to 30). To pass a handle instead, use -1 here and set username.
usernamequery · string · optionalHandle, with or without @. When set, it is used instead of userId: the API looks up the ID first, which makes the call a little slower. Still one billed call.
countquery · integer · optional · default 20Number of items to ask X for. Sent to X as is; X treats it as a hint and decides how many it returns (follower and following pages often hold 50 to 70 users for count=20). A value that is not a number falls back to 20.
cursorquery · string · optionalBottom cursor from the previous page. Leave it out for the first page. See Pagination.
includePromotedContentquery · boolean · optional · default trueAsk X to include promoted tweets. Accepts true/false, 1/0.
Paginated: pass the bottom cursor of one page as cursor to get the next. Each page is one billed call. See Pagination.
Notes
- An entry can have an empty tweet_results ({}) when X no longer returns that article (deleted or restricted). Skip such entries.
Example request
curl 'https://api.twittrapi.com/user/12/articles?count=20' \
--header 'X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY'import httpx
# No SDK method for this endpoint yet, so this is a plain HTTP call.
resp = httpx.get(
"https://api.twittrapi.com/user/12/articles",
headers={"X-API-KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
params={
"count": "20",
},
timeout=60,
)
data = resp.json()import { TwittrAPI } from "twittrapi";
const client = new TwittrAPI({ apiKey: process.env.TWITTRAPI_API_KEY });
// No wrapper method for this endpoint yet; client.get() sends the same authenticated GET.
const data = await client.get({
path: "/user/12/articles",
query: {
count: "20",
},
});curl 'https://twitter-aio.p.rapidapi.com/user/12/articles?count=20' \
--header 'x-rapidapi-key: YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY' \
--header 'x-rapidapi-host: twitter-aio.p.rapidapi.com'Base URL https://api.twittrapi.com, key in the X-API-KEY header. Python and Node.js use the official SDKs.

}In the raw format, field names and nesting come from X and can change without notice. See Response format; the simple format keeps a fixed schema.
Errors
- 422userId is not numeric, or the username lookup failed.
- 400userId is -1 and username is missing, the username contains characters X blocks, or the user could not be found.
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, 408, 409 or a 5xx error are refunded.
