Search posts by keywords. FAST (default, omit responseType or responseType="fast"): Returns up to 300 results directly (use limit param to reduce, e.g. limit=5). Auto API fallback for fresh data. Results include guidance for full mode. PAGING (responseType="paging"): Async paginated results (100/page), returns operationId for polling via checkOperationStatus. Supports pageNumber/tableName for subsequent pages. CSV (responseType="csv"): Async single CSV download, returns operationId, poll for S3 link. CODE EXECUTION: For csv mode, download CSV and use code execution to analyze full dataset. Ideal for: sentiment analysis, trend detection, content analysis across thousands of posts. Returns by default: id, text, authorUsername, createdAtDate. First searches database, then external API if data is stale or missing. NOT for URL lookups - use getTwitterPostsByIds. 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). SORT: sortBy="relevance" (default, best matches first) or sortBy="latest" (newest first). Filters: language, authorId/authorUsername, countryCode (2-letter ISO code, feature-gated - only accounts with the country filter enabled; filters by the tagged place country in both database and on-demand results). Date filters: OMIT startDate/endDate by default. ONLY pass if user explicitly requests specific date range (YYYY-MM-DD format). Use filterOutRetweets=true to exclude retweets.
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.
FIELDS parameter (optional): Specify to get additional/different fields. Available: Core (id, text, authorId, authorUsername, createdAt), Engagement (retweetCount, replyCount, quoteCount, impressionCount, bookmarkCount), Metadata (lang, source, suspended, deleted), Relations (conversationId, quotedTweetId, retweetedTweetId, replyToTweetId, replyToUserId, replyToUsername), Content (hashtags, mentions, mediaUrls), Location (placeName, placeCountry, placeCountryCode, placeBoundingBoxCoordinates, placeCentroid). This is a safe, read-only tool for analyzing searchable information.
