How do I fetch a tweet by ID on X/Twitter?

Short answer: You can get tweet in X (Twitter) by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the X (Twitter) Get Tweet action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Get Tweet.

What does the Get Tweet action do in X (Twitter)?
Gets a single tweet by its ID with full details (text, author, timestamps, public metrics, attachments). The standard read after a trigger fires with an ID.
What inputs does Get Tweet require?
Required: Tweet ID. 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 X (Twitter) 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 Get Tweet support batch operations?
Yes. Run Get Tweet inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles X (Twitter)'s rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
