get-statuses-mentions_timeline

GET statuses/mentions_timeline

Important notice: On June 19, 2019, we began enforcing a limit of 100,000 requests per day to the /statuses/mentions_timeline endpoint. This is in addition to existing user-level rate limits (75 requests / 15-minutes). This limit is enforced on a per-application basis, meaning that a single developer app can make up to 100,000 calls during any single 24-hour period.

Returns the 20 most recent mentions (Tweets containing a users's @screen_name) for the authenticating user.

The timeline returned is the equivalent of the one seen when you view your mentions on twitter.com.

This method can only return up to 800 tweets.

See Working with Timelines for instructions on traversing timelines.

Resource URL¶

https://api.x.com/1.1/statuses/mentions_timeline.json

Resource Information¶

Response formats	JSON
Requires authentication?	Yes (user context only)
Rate limited?	Yes
Requests / 15-min window (user auth)	75
Requests / 24-hour window	100,000
Supports Edit Tweets feature?	Yes

Note: the 24-hour request limit is based on a rolling clock, beginning at the time of the first request and monitored for the next 24 hours.

Parameters¶

Name	Required	Description	Default Value	Example
count	optional	Specifies the number of Tweets to try and retrieve, up to a maximum of 200. The value of count is best thought of as a limit to the number of tweets to return because suspended or deleted content is removed after the count has been applied. We include retweets in the count, even if include_rts is not supplied. It is recommended you always send include_rts=1 when using this API method.
since_id	optional	Returns results with an ID greater than (that is, more recent than) the specified ID. There are limits to the number of Tweets which can be accessed through the API. If the limit of Tweets has occured since the since_id, the since_id will be forced to the oldest ID available.		12345
max_id	optional	Returns results with an ID less than (that is, older than) or equal to the specified ID.		54321
trim_user	optional	When set to either true , t or 1 , each tweet returned in a timeline will include a user object including only the status authors numerical ID. Omit this parameter to receive the complete user object.		true
include_entities	optional	The entities node will not be included when set to false.		false
include_ext_edit_control	optional	Must be set to true in order to return edited Tweet metadata as part of the Tweet object. `include_ext_edit_control=true` Note that historical Tweets may not contain edited Tweet metadata. To learn more about how edited Tweets are supported, see the Edit Tweets fundamentals page.		true
