Social API·15 credits per call

Extract conversation threads from any tweet.

Pass a tweet ID to receive a structured JSON list of replies and author metadata. No session management or browser automation required.

POSTautomatio.ai/api/v1/query{ tool: "twitter_tweet_comments", params: { tweetId: … } }

How it works

One request, one response.

  1. 1

    Send tweet ID

    Provide the numeric ID and a response limit in a single POST request.

  2. 2

    Fetch thread

    The system navigates the reply tree and handles pagination internally.

  3. 3

    Receive JSON

    Get back a structured array of comments with author handles and timestamps.

Capabilities

What you get.

Everything this endpoint does, without running the infrastructure yourself.

Full thread recovery

Reconstruct nested conversations by following the reply tree for a specific post.

Rich author metadata

Receive handles, display names, and profile details for every commenter in the thread.

Cursor-based pagination

Navigate deep threads containing thousands of replies using sequential tokens.

Public profile access

Retrieve data from any public tweet without needing to follow the account.

Cost of ownership

Build it yourself, or call this.

Both are real options. Here is what each one actually costs you.

Run it yourself

  • Register for official API access with strict usage tiers
  • Build scrapers to handle infinite scroll and dynamic DOM loading
  • Maintain proxy rotations and browser sessions to avoid rate blocks
  • Re-write selectors frequently as X updates its frontend.

Call the API

  • One JSON request returns structured data immediately
  • Scaling and infrastructure are managed server-side
  • No maintenance of headless browsers or private proxy pools
  • Consistent JSON schema regardless of site UI changes.

Integrate

Built for the language you use.

One HTTP endpoint. Copy the call in your language and go.

example.sh
curl -X POST https://automatio.ai/api/v1/query \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTOMATIO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "tool": "twitter_tweet_comments", "params": { "tweetId": "example", "limit": 10 } }'

In production

What people build with it.

Brand Sentiment Monitoring

Input the ID of a corporate announcement to collect all user replies. The text is then sent to an NLP model for automated mood scoring and feedback categorization.

Customer Support Auditing

Track public replies to support-specific tweets to ensure query resolution. This allows teams to log conversation histories and verify that no customer query went unanswered.

Academic Research

Gather large-scale thread data to map the spread of information. Researchers use this to analyze polarization or the lifecycle of viral debates within specific conversation trees.

Choosing parameters

Which options matter.

The table below lists what exists. These are the calls worth making deliberately.

tweetId
Pass the numeric ID as a string to prevent precision loss that occurs with large integers in many JSON parsers. This ID is found at the end of the tweet URL.
limit
For high-traffic tweets, a moderate limit per call is more reliable. Use this in conjunction with cursors to walk through very large threads.
cursor
Omit this for the initial request. For subsequent calls, use the token returned in the previous payload to fetch the next batch of replies.

Alternatives

When to use something else.

A page that pretends it has no alternatives reads as an advert. These are the other real options.

Official X API

Best for enterprise-level compliance when the budget allows for premium tier pricing and complex approval processes.

Manual Browser Export

A viable, no-cost option for small, one-off thread captures using local browser extensions.

Custom Playwright Scripts

Recommended for teams that already manage their own proxy network and need bespoke scraping logic.

Before you integrate

What it does not do.

The boundaries are as useful as the features. These are the ones worth knowing up front.

Protected Accounts

The endpoint cannot access replies to tweets from accounts that have been set to private or protected.

Direct Messages

Access is restricted to public reply threads and does not include DMs or private group chats.

Binary Media

The response includes URLs to images and videos but does not host or proxy the binary files themselves.
