X (Twitter) Community Post Search

X (Twitter)

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

Search across all X (Twitter) Communities for community-only posts by keyword and return full-text posts with contextual metadata. The connector performs cross-Community keyword queries (including Community-exclusive content not surfaced by regular X search) without requiring X login or cookies. It extracts post text, post identifiers and URLs, timestamps, language, engagement metrics (retweets, replies, likes, quotes, view counts, bookmark counts), author metadata (username, user ID, display name, verification status, follower count, profile image), and supports sorting by recency or by engagement. Results are produced with pagination support via cursors to continue fetching additional matches across runs.
