[ FAQ ]

Twitter Quote Tweets API questions

How do I get the quote tweets of a tweet?

Send the tweet ID, the number after /status/ in its link, and choose Latest or Top. Each quote comes back with its text, author, media and engagement counts, up to 20 per call (10 by default). Send the nextCursor back as cursor for more.

Why read quote tweets?

Quote tweets carry what people say about a post, often more openly than replies. They are the quickest way to read the reaction to an announcement or launch.

How do I use the Twitter Quote Tweets API?

Send a POST request to https://api.bridgly.app/x/get-tweet-quotes with tweetId in the JSON body and your API key in the Authorization header. In the TypeScript SDK, call client.x.getTweetQuotes(). AI agents connected to Bridgly over MCP can call the x_get_tweet_quotes tool.

How much does the Twitter Quote Tweets API cost?

Costs 1 credit per result returned, with a minimum of 1 credit per request. Credits cost $2.00 per 1,000 on pay-as-you-go and as low as $1.00 per 1,000 at volume. New accounts on a business email start with 100 free credits, and failed requests are never charged.
