X (Twitter) Tweet Details Scraper

X (Twitter)

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

Converts lists of X (Twitter) tweet IDs or URLs into full tweet records by hydrating each tweet into structured metadata and metrics without requiring login or cookies. For each tweet it extracts the canonical text, creation timestamp, language and client/source, author metadata (username, display name, user identifier, verification status, follower count, profile image and location), reply and conversation context, and a complete set of engagement metrics including counts for retweets, replies, likes, quotes, views and bookmarks; it processes batches in a single run and automatically skips invalid or duplicate entries.
