Questions

How do I view someone's tweets without an X account?

Type their username, with or without the @ (or paste their x.com profile link), and press Run. You see their tweets and reposts, newest first, with 20 per page; press Next page for older ones.

Is this Twitter viewer free?

Yes. You get 5 free requests a day without an account. Sign up free for 100 credits, plus a top-up to 25 every day. No card needed. Each page of tweets costs 1 credit.

Will they know I looked at their profile?

No. X doesn't tell anyone who views their profile, and this tool reads public posts without an account, so nothing is linked to you.

Why do I see popular tweets instead of the latest ones?

For some very large accounts, X shows logged-out visitors a selection of about 100 popular tweets from over the years instead of the latest ones. The result says so, and there's no next page in that case.

Can I see replies, likes or followers?

No. X only shows those to logged-in users. This tool shows what X shows everyone: the account's own tweets and reposts, with their counts and media.

Does it work on private (protected) accounts?

No. Protected accounts only share their tweets with approved followers, so they can't be viewed here.

Can I download tweets to CSV or Google Sheets?

Yes. After a run, press Download CSV. You get one tweet per row with its text, date, link, likes, reposts, replies, quotes, bookmarks and views.

Can I automate this or use it in Claude?

Yes. It's one API request to /v1/twitter/user-tweets with your API key, and every endpoint works inside Claude as an MCP connector, so you can ask Claude what a brand posted this week.
