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.
user_idstringNoTarget user id
user_namestringNoTarget username (without @)
cursorstringNoPagination cursor
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.
  • Provide either user_id or user_name.
  • If user_name is provided, the API resolves it to user_id.
  • Pagination uses next_cursor until has_more is false.
