# X / Twitter Search

Search X (Twitter) with full advanced-search syntax (operators like from:, since:, until:, min_faves: work inline in the query) and get structured tweets with text, author, engagement, and cursor pagination. Limit is a per-page maximum; native pages contain approximately 20 tweets unless requireSinglePage selects a bulk lane.

## Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | string | yes | Search query using X (Twitter) advanced-search syntax. IMPORTANT: bare terms are ANDed - a tweet must contain EVERY word, so a list of loosely related keywords matches nothing; use one short phrase or OR between alternatives (e.g. 'anyapi OR getanyapi'). You can embed X advanced-search operators... |
| `cursor` | string | no | Opaque pagination cursor from a previous response's nextCursor. Omit for the first page; pass it to fetch the next page of search results. |
| `limit` | integer | no | Per-page maximum number of results to return (1-50, default 20). A provider may return a smaller native page; follow nextCursor for more. |
| `queryType` | string | no | Result ranking: 'Latest', 'Top', 'Photos', or 'Videos' (e.g. Latest). |
