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

getTwitterUser

Read-onlyIdempotent

Get Twitter user profile by ID or username. Use identifierType="id" for numeric user ID, identifierType="username" for username. For username: Use ONLY when you have the precise username (e.g., "elonmusk"). For person names or fuzzy search, use searchTwitterUsers instead. Optional fields parameter for performance (default: ["id", "username", "name"]). Available fields: id, profileImageUrl, profileBannerUrl, profileInterstitialType, status, username, verifiedType, name, description, location, protected, verified, followersCount, followingCount, tweetCount, listedCount, likesCount, mediaCount, pinnedTweetId, source, nLang, nLangsFiltered, label, labelType, isVerified, modifiedAt, createdAt, verifiedSinceDatetime, accountBasedIn, locationAccurate, usernameChanges, lastUsernameChangeDatetime. NOTE: Use "tweetCount" not "statusesCount". Returns: single user profile with id, username, name, bio, followers_count, following_count, tweet_count, created_at, authenticity_score, inauthentic_type. 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
fieldsNoPERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION: Specify fields you need. DEFAULT (if omitted): ["id", "username", "name"]. AVAILABLE FIELDS: Core: id, username, name, description, location, verified, verifiedType, protected. Engagement: followersCount, followingCount, tweetCount, listedCount, likesCount, mediaCount. Profile: profileImageUrl, profileBannerUrl, profileInterstitialType. Metadata: source, status, pinnedTweetId, isVerified, accountBasedIn, locationAccurate, label, labelType. Advanced: nLang, nLangsFiltered. Timestamps: modifiedAt, createdAt. Account History: verifiedSinceDatetime, usernameChanges, lastUsernameChangeDatetime. EXAMPLES: ["id", "username"] for minimal, ["username", "name", "description, followersCount"] for basic info, or specify all fields if needed.
_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.
_requestIdNo
identifierYesUser ID (numeric) or username depending on identifierType.
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
forceLatestNoUSE SPARINGLY: Force fetching the latest data from the API, bypassing cache checks. Only use when explicitly required (e.g., "get the latest", "most recent", "real-time"). WARNING: Increases latency and API costs. Default: false (uses intelligent caching).
identifierTypeYesType of identifier provided. Use "id" for numeric user ID, "username" for username.

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, the description adds meaningful behavioral detail: it states the tool is 'safe, read-only', explains that trial requests return up to 5 cached database-only results and never trigger live fetching, and describes the returned user profile shape. This goes well beyond what annotations alone provide.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The definition is functional and front-loaded with the core purpose, but it is quite long and duplicates the available-fields list that already exists in the input schema. The trial-access and authentication instructions, while relevant, add substantial bulk and could be condensed or moved to a separate context.

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

Completeness4/5

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

The description is comprehensive for a complex 9-parameter tool with no output schema: it explains identifier selection, field customization, return fields, trial limits, and read-only safety. Minor gaps remain, such as not explaining _isTrial/_requestId in the description and some return field names differing from the available field names, but an agent has enough context to call the tool correctly.

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?

With 67% schema coverage, the description adds important parameter nuance: it explains the two identifierType values, documents the fields parameter default and available values, and warns to use 'tweetCount' rather than 'statusesCount'. Some params like _isTrial, _requestId, and _trialToken remain only minimally covered, but the main selection-affecting parameters are well clarified.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Get Twitter user profile by ID or username.' It also differentiates itself from the sibling searchTwitterUsers by explicitly stating when the precise username is required and when fuzzy search should be used instead.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description gives explicit routing guidance: use identifierType='id' for numeric IDs and identifierType='username' for usernames, and only use username lookup when the precise username is known. It names the alternative tool, searchTwitterUsers, for fuzzy/person-name lookups, which is directly actionable for an agent.

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.
