POST/twitter/tweet/retweet

This endpoint costs $0.001 per API call.

Request Body

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
auth_tokenstringYesUser's auth token
ct0stringNoOptional current CSRF token cookie. When provided with twid, skips server-side credential resolution.
twidstringNoOptional current user ID cookie, for example u=1234567890. Must be provided with ct0.
tweet_idstringYesTweet id to retweet
proxystringNoProxy URL (http://, https://, socks5://, or socks4://)

Notes

  • If you already have current ct0 and twid, send both to skip the extra server-side credential bootstrap from auth_token. If either one is omitted, the server resolves them from auth_token as before. Stale or invalid supplied values are not validated upfront and may fail on the actual Twitter action instead of returning an early 401.
  • Retweets a tweet for the auth token owner.
  • If X does not confirm the retweet action, this endpoint returns 502.
