Frequently asked questions

How are replies different from tweets?

Replies are tweets that are in response to another tweet. The is_reply field is always true for this endpoint, and user_mentions shows who they replied to.

How many replies are returned per page?

Each page returns approximately 20 replies. You can fetch up to 10 pages (200 replies) in a single API call.

How does pricing work?

You only pay for successful requests. The Twitter User Replies API costs $0.006 per page. There are no monthly fees or commitments. You get 50 free requests per endpoint every month.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can sign up and use the free tier (50 requests/endpoint/month) without adding a payment method. You only need to add a card when you want to exceed the free tier.

Are there rate limits?

Yes, there's a concurrency limit of 3 simultaneous requests per endpoint per user. If you need more, just get in touch.
