TL;DR
Posts in an X Community — same 6-metric tweet shape as search. Flat 2 credits. The Twitter/X Community Tweets API (Twitter / X) is a single authenticated GET request to /v1/twitter/community-tweets that responds with clean JSON and costs 2 credits. Pass cache=true for a free 24h cache hit; default is always fresh. Start with 100 free credits — no credit card.

What is the Twitter/X Community Tweets API?

Pass an X community URL (x.com/i/communities/ID) or community ID — not a tweet/status URL — and get recent posts as clean JSON. Response includes url + communityId + communityName + memberCount (so you often skip a second Community call) plus tweets[] using the shared contract: ISO-8601 publishedAt, engagement{views,likes,replies,retweets,quotes,bookmarks}, hashtags[], media[]. Flat 2 credits (same guest surface as Search). Pass cache=true for the 24h shared cache.

What you get

  • communityName + memberCount + community url/id
  • Same engagement 6-key shape + ISO publishedAt as search
  • Flat 2 credits
  • hashtags[] + media[] always present on each tweet
