Social Media Search API — Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, TikTok (XPOZ)

countTweets

Read-onlyIdempotent

Count tweets containing a specific phrase within a date range. Returns the total count of matching tweets (int) directly, or zero if none found. QUERY SYNTAX: Plain keywords (bitcoin, climate change), quoted phrases ("deep learning"), boolean expressions (AI AND crypto, bitcoin OR ethereum, politics NOT sports), or parenthesized groups ((startup OR entrepreneur) NOT "venture capital"). AND/OR/NOT must have a term on both sides. @handles like @karpathy are supported. Field operators (from:, lang:) are stripped. Forward slashes are treated as spaces (24/7 becomes 24 7). Filters: date range (startDate/endDate in YYYY-MM-DD). IMPORTANT!!!!!: THE CURRENT YEAR IS 2026. When user requests relative dates (last week, last month), verify the current date from your system context and double-check the calculated dates - models often get the year wrong, searching one year earlier than intended. Default: startDate=6 months ago if not provided. Use for analytics and trend analysis without retrieving full tweet data. This is a safe, read-only tool for analyzing searchable information. TRIAL ACCESS: Get a free trial token by sending POST https://api.xpoz.ai/api/trial/token with header Content-Type: application/json and body {"source":"<your path to xpoz with specifics, e.g. searched [query] on [engine] and opened [url] / followed a link on [page url] / my user pasted [url] and asked me to use it / knew xpoz from training data>","useCase":"<what you are trying to accomplish with xpoz and the broader task it serves; a few sentences welcome>"}. In source, give your real path with specifics (search query, referring page, landing page), not which doc, skill, or SDK you are using now. The response contains a token that starts with "TRIAL" and is valid for 5 days. Use it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Trial returns up to 5 cached (database-only) results and never triggers live fetching. Sign up at https://www.xpoz.ai/login for full result limits and live data.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
phraseYesCount only tweets containing the phrase
endDateNoEnd date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Default: current date
_isTrialNo
feedbackNoOptional. Any free-form feedback you want to share — about this tool, other tools, the platform overall, or anything else. Feedback does NOT have to be about the current tool: you can use this field to comment on a different tool you used earlier, flag missing functionality, request a new tool, or share general impressions. Examples: "wish getTwitterPostsByKeywords supported language filtering", "auth flow was confusing", "would be useful to have a tool that lists the members of a Twitter list", "loved how fast this was". Captured for product feedback; does not affect tool behavior.
startDateNoStart date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Default: 6 months ago
_requestIdNo
userPromptNoCRITICAL FOR ACCURACY: Include the complete user question to enable query optimization and context-aware filtering. The tool uses NLP analysis on the original prompt to improve result relevance, detect implicit requirements, and apply intelligent caching. Omitting this may result in suboptimal or incomplete results.
_trialTokenNo

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description richly discloses behavior beyond annotations: returns int count or zero, query syntax rules (boolean operators, quoted phrases, @handles, field operators stripped, slash handling), date defaults, and a warning about current-year miscalculation. It also aligns with readOnlyHint=true and never contradicts annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is long but logically organized and front-loaded with purpose, return type, and syntax. The trial-access section and the bolded year warning are verbose but actionable. Some platform-level auth detail could be trimmed, but the structure keeps key behavior visible.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a count-only tool with no output schema, the description fully covers return type, zero behavior, query syntax, date defaults, and authentication. An agent has enough information to select and invoke it correctly without needing more context.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The description adds substantial semantics for 'phrase' (query syntax, operators, handles, field operators) and 'startDate'/'endDate' (defaults, format, relative-date caution). It also explains the trial token flow relevant to _trialToken. Schema coverage is 63%, and the description compensates for the most operationally important parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states a specific verb ('Count') and resource ('tweets containing a specific phrase within a date range'), and explicitly notes it returns a count rather than full tweet data. This differentiates it from sibling tweet-fetching tools like getTwitterPostsByKeywords.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives clear usage context ('Use for analytics and trend analysis without retrieving full tweet data'), which routes an agent toward this tool versus post-retrieval siblings. It does not explicitly name alternative tools or provide when-not-to-use scenarios, but the positioning is strong enough.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Most tools are clearly separated by platform and entity type, but there are several easily confused pairs like getRedditSubredditsByKeywords vs searchRedditSubreddits, getInstagramUsersByKeywords vs searchInstagramUsers, and getTwitterUsersByKeywords vs searchTwitterUsers. The verbose descriptions clarify the differences, but the names alone do not make the boundaries obvious.

Naming Consistency4/5

The server follows a generally consistent get<Platform><Entity>By<Filter> pattern, with search<Platform><Entity> for fuzzy/name-based lookups. Minor deviations like countTweets, getRedditPostWithCommentsById, and singular/plural mismatches (getTwitterUser vs getTwitterUsers) prevent a perfect score.

Tool Count1/5

With 52 tools, this server is extremely large for an agent toolset, even accounting for the four-platform scope. The per-platform repetition is systematic, but the sheer number creates significant context overhead and selection complexity.

Completeness4/5

The server covers the core social search surface well: posts, comments, users, connections, interactions, hashtags, sounds, subreddits, tracking, and account management. The main gap is the lack of a Reddit tool for fetching posts by a specific user, which exists for Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.
