Creating Posts

Basic Post

curl -X POST "https://api.x.com/2/tweets" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "Hello from the API!"}'

Reply to a Post

curl -X POST "https://api.x.com/2/tweets" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "This is a reply!",
    "reply": {
      "in_reply_to_tweet_id": "1234567890"
    }
  }'

Quote a Post

curl -X POST "https://api.x.com/2/tweets" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "Check this out!",
    "quote_tweet_id": "1234567890"
  }'

Post with media

curl -X POST "https://api.x.com/2/tweets" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "Photo of the day",
    "media": {
      "media_ids": ["1234567890123456789"]
    }
  }'

Upload media first using the Media Upload endpoint, then reference the media_id in your Post.

Post with poll

curl -X POST "https://api.x.com/2/tweets" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "What is your favorite color?",
    "poll": {
      "options": ["Red", "Blue", "Green", "Yellow"],
      "duration_minutes": 1440
    }
  }'

Post with paid partnership

Use the paid_partnership field when creating a Post to indicate it is a paid partnership (i.e., the author is disclosing that the Post contains paid promotion). When set to true, the Post will be labeled as a paid promotion.

curl -X POST "https://api.x.com/2/tweets" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "Excited to partner with Acme on their latest launch!",
    "paid_partnership": true
  }'

To retrieve the value on existing Posts (including your own), request it via the tweet.fields parameter:

curl "https://api.x.com/2/tweets/1234567890?tweet.fields=paid_partnership,created_at" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Deleting Posts

curl -X DELETE "https://api.x.com/2/tweets/1234567890" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN"

You can only delete Posts authored by the authenticated user.
