This guide walks you through hiding and unhiding replies to Posts in conversations you started.
PrerequisitesBefore you begin, you’ll need:
  • A developer account with an approved App
  • User Access Token (OAuth 1.0a or OAuth 2.0 PKCE)

​
Hide a reply

Find the reply's Post ID

Get the ID of the reply you want to hide. You can only hide replies to conversations started by the authenticated user.
https://x.com/user/status/1232720193182412800
                          └── This is the Post ID

Send the hide request

cURL
curl -X PUT "https://api.x.com/2/tweets/1232720193182412800/hidden" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"hidden": true}'

Confirm the reply is hidden

{
  "data": {
    "hidden": true
  }
}
The reply is now hidden from the main conversation view. Users can still see it by clicking “View hidden replies.”

​
Unhide a reply

To make a hidden reply visible again:
cURL
curl -X PUT "https://api.x.com/2/tweets/1232720193182412800/hidden" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"hidden": false}'
Response: 
{
  "data": {
    "hidden": false
  }
}
