How do I search recent tweets on X/Twitter?

Short answer: You can search tweets in X (Twitter) by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the X (Twitter) Search Tweets action to a workflow, map its 3 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 X (Twitter)?

Searches recent tweets matching a query, returning results from the last 7 days on standard tiers. Use for social listening, hashtag monitoring, or competitive intel.

What inputs does Search Tweets require?

Required: Search 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 X (Twitter) returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message X (Twitter) returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Search Tweets support batch operations?

Run Search Tweets inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within X (Twitter)'s rate limits.
