This guide walks you through retrieving Quote Posts (Posts that quote another Post).
**Prerequisites**
Before you begin, you'll need:
* A [developer account](https://developer.x.com/en/portal/petition/essential/basic-info) with an approved App
* Your App's Bearer Token
***
Get the ID of the Post you want to find quotes for. You can find it in the Post's URL:
```
https://x.com/XDevelopers/status/1409931481552543749
└── This is the Post ID
```
```bash cURL theme={null}
curl "https://api.x.com/2/tweets/1409931481552543749/quote_tweets?\
tweet.fields=created_at,public_metrics,author_id&\
expansions=author_id&\
user.fields=username,verified&\
max_results=10" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $BEARER_TOKEN"
```
```python Python SDK theme={null}
from xdk import Client
client = Client(bearer_token="YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN")
# Get Quote Posts with pagination
for page in client.posts.get_quote_tweets(
"1409931481552543749",
tweet_fields=["created_at", "public_metrics", "author_id"],
expansions=["author_id"],
user_fields=["username", "verified"],
max_results=10
):
for post in page.data:
print(f"{post.text[:50]}... - Likes: {post.public_metrics.like_count}")
```
```javascript JavaScript SDK theme={null}
import { Client } from "@xdevplatform/xdk";
const client = new Client({ bearerToken: "YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN" });
// Get Quote Posts with pagination
const paginator = client.posts.getQuoteTweets("1409931481552543749", {
tweetFields: ["created_at", "public_metrics", "author_id"],
expansions: ["author_id"],
userFields: ["username", "verified"],
maxResults: 10,
});
for await (const page of paginator) {
page.data?.forEach((post) => {
console.log(`${post.text?.slice(0, 50)}... - Likes: ${post.public_metrics?.like_count}`);
});
}
```
```json theme={null}
{
"data": [
{
"id": "1495979553889697792",
"text": "Great thread on the new API features! https://t.co/...",
"author_id": "29757971",
"created_at": "2022-02-22T04:31:34.000Z",
"public_metrics": {
"retweet_count": 5,
"reply_count": 2,
"like_count": 42,
"quote_count": 1
},
"edit_history_tweet_ids": ["1495979553889697792"]
}
],
"includes": {
"users": [
{
"id": "29757971",
"username": "developer",
"verified": false
}
]
},
"meta": {
"result_count": 1,
"next_token": "avdjwk0udyx6"
}
}
```
The SDKs handle pagination automatically. For cURL, use the `next_token` to get more Quote Posts:
```bash theme={null}
curl "https://api.x.com/2/tweets/1409931481552543749/quote_tweets?\
max_results=10&\
pagination_token=avdjwk0udyx6" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $BEARER_TOKEN"
```
