[X session guide](https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/x-session) What you can do ## Everything a publishing tool needs Each line is one endpoint and one call. - Upload an image /client/media [Returns a media ID](https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/account-actions/client-media) - Upload a video /client/media/video Waits for X to process it; check a media ID later with [/client/media/status](https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/account-actions/client-media-status) - Post, with up to 4 media IDs /client/create [Long posts over 280 characters work too](https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/account-actions/client-create) - Schedule a post /client/create + schedule_time List with [/client/schedule-overview](https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/account-actions/client-schedule-overview), cancel with [/client/schedule-delete](https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/account-actions/client-schedule-delete) - Save and list drafts /client/drafts/create [/client/drafts](https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/account-actions/client-drafts), edit and delete: [Drafts](https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/account-actions#drafts) - Run a poll /client/create + poll 2 to 4 choices, 5 minutes to 7 days - Quote a post /client/create + quote_url Your comment above the quoted post - Post into a community /client/create + community_id Posts into that community - Reply, or build a thread /client/reply [Reply to your own last part to continue a thread](https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/account-actions/client-reply) - Delete a post /client/deleteTweet [Your own posts only](https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/account-actions/client-deletetweet) Who can reply (`conversation_control_mode`) and the sensitive-media flag are options of the same calls. How it works ## One request per action Every account action is a POST with a JSON body. Next to the action's own fields it carries the account's session cookie (`auth_token` and `ct0`) and the proxy the request to X goes out through. The session goes with each request, so one API key can work for many accounts. - Keep the same proxy for the same account, in the region it usually logs in from. - If someone logs out of that session, the cookie stops working; ask for a fresh one. - With `format=simple` a new post comes back as the same Tweet object the read endpoints return. [Get the cookie and set up a proxy](https://www.twittrapi.com/docs/x-session) Use your own account or one you're authorised to manage, and follow [X's rules on automation](https://help.x.com/en/rules-and-policies/x-automation). Cost ## What publishing costs A post with one image is two calls: the upload and the post. Account actions cost the same per call as reads.

[Pricing](https://www.twittrapi.com/pricing) FAQ ## Scheduling and publishing questions **Does X keep the scheduled post, or do I have to send it at the right time?** X keeps it. /client/create with schedule_time stores the post on the account's own schedule, the same one x.com uses, and X publishes it. You can list and cancel scheduled posts by API. Scheduled posts take text and media; polls, quotes and community posts are posted right away. **How do I post a thread?** Post the first tweet, then reply to it with the next part, then reply to that reply, and so on. Each part is one call. **Can I manage client accounts?** Yes, with each client's consent: every request carries the session cookie of the account it acts on, plus a proxy. Keep one proxy per account and store each client's cookie like a password. **Which images and videos work?** Images: JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 5 MB, GIF up to 15 MB. Videos: MP4 or MOV; the request body is limited to 100 MB, so about 75 MB of video. Files X would refuse get a 400 before anything is sent to X, and that call is refunded. **Do I need an X developer account?** No. You need a TwittrAPI key, the X session (cookie) of the account and a proxy. The X session guide shows how to copy the cookie.
