Same authentication, same credit balance, and the same response envelope as every other 1Lookup product. If you have already integrated one endpoint, this one is a URL change.

Ten more columns in the file, among them Unique Repliers, Their Followers, Their Bio and Reply URLs.
The biggest replier and their bio are in every row
The account most worth a message is named in the file, so a list of threads becomes a short list of people.
Every reply is in the JSON export
The CSV carries the summary, the replier handles and the reply links. Each reply in full, with its author, is in the JSON file for the same job.
A post with no replies costs 0 credits
The price stays at 15 credits per post that returns replies, however long the list is.
Every post comes back with the same fields at one flat price
A count X does not show for a reply comes back as null, never as a guess, and every field costs the same 15 credits.

Sales, founder, brand and research teams read the replies instead of scrolling the thread
Sales teams find leads among the people replying to a competitor's post
When a rival announces a product, the replies hold people with an opinion about it. Each replier arrives with a bio that names their role and company, so the ones worth a message stand out.
Founders and marketers read the answers to their own launch posts
A launch post that gets 200 replies is a list of interested people. Pull the replies, sort by followers and answer the ones who match your buyer first.
Brand and support teams see how a post was received
Read the replies to an announcement or an outage post and see what people said, who said it and which reply other people liked. The most-liked reply is in the summary.
Researchers and journalists collect public responses to a statement
Save the replies to a public post as JSON with their authors, times and links. A CSV of post links returns one summary row per post for a first pass across many threads.
One post link becomes 20 replies, and the bios turn them into a shortlist of people to write to
Each reply keeps its replier's bio and following, so the people with a role and an audience that fit can be picked out in seconds.
These are the questions people ask before they read their first thread
What does the X Post Replies API return?
Send a link to a post and it returns up to 20 replies to it from X (Twitter). Each reply carries its text, time, likes, reposts and a link, and the replier's handle, name, follower count, following count, bio, location and verified flag. The result also counts how many different people replied and names the replier with the largest following.
Is this a Twitter reply scraper, and do I need an X account?
It does the job of a reply scraper without the scraper. You send a request with your 1Lookup API key and the replies come back as JSON. You do not need an X account, an X developer application or a proxy, and there is no script to keep running.
Which link do I send?
The link to the original post, such as x.com/handle/status/123. A link to a reply returns nothing and costs nothing, because it is a reply and not the post that started the thread. A link to an account is refused before anything is charged.
How many replies do I get, and are the replies to replies included?
Up to 20 per post, with no pagination. Replies inside the thread are included and marked with in_reply_to, so you can tell a reply to the original post from a reply to another replier. A post with 12 replies returns 12.
Why does a reply come with the replier's bio?
Because the bio is what lets you decide who is worth a message. A reply that says 'we have this problem' is a lead only when the bio says who they are, so each replier arrives with followers, bio, location and verified flag in the same record.
How much does it cost?
15 credits per post that returns replies, about $0.07 on the Starter plan and $0.05 on Growth, so 100 posts cost about $7 and $5. You are charged only when replies come back. A post with no replies, a link to a reply, an error and a timeout cost 0 credits.
How fresh are the replies?
They are live. The thread is read on X when you ask. The same post from your organization within 15 minutes is served from cache and is free, and after 15 minutes it is read again.
How long does a lookup take?
Usually 10 to 40 seconds, because the thread is read live. Set your client timeout to at least 60 seconds so a slow lookup still returns its replies.
Can I check a list of posts at once?
Yes. Upload a CSV with a post_url column and you get one row per post: how many replies came back, how many different people wrote them, the replier with the largest following with their bio, and the most-liked reply with its link. The replier handles and reply links are in the file, and every reply in full is in the JSON export. Each post that returns replies costs 15 credits and every empty one is free.
How do I turn a replier into a contact?
Take the name and the company in their bio, then run it through Email Enrichment to find a work email, or through LinkedIn Email Finder when you have their LinkedIn profile. The X handle, the bio and the reply itself are the context for the first line of your message.
A reply is the start of a lead, and these products cover the rest
Here is how reading the replies to a post with 1Lookup compares with the official X API
Each page sets a rival's plans and prices beside ours and says where the rival does the job better. Every figure carries its source and the date it was checked.
