## README

### X / Twitter Tweet Thread API

Resolve the linear self-thread containing an X (Twitter) post, from its root through the author's linked continuations. This excludes replies from other users.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "twitter/thread", "url": "https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1732824684683784516"}'
```

The result is returned in `outputs[0].data`. A lookup that finds nothing still succeeds and returns `found: false`.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `url` | string | Yes | Canonical x.com or twitter.com status URL with a numeric tweet ID. Any tweet in the self-thread can be supplied; the provider resolves the thread root. |

#### Pricing

Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.00269 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.
