How do I search recent tweets?

Short answer: You can search tweets in Twitter / X by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Twitter / X Search Tweets action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Search Tweets.

What does the Search Tweets action do in Twitter / X?

Searches recent tweets (last 7 days on standard tiers) by keyword or operator query. Use for social listening, hashtag monitoring, or brand sentiment ingestion. Requires Basic tier or higher.

What inputs does Search Tweets require?

Required: Query. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Twitter / X returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Search Tweets support batch operations?

Yes. Run Search Tweets inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Twitter / X's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
