Quick reference

GET /x/tweets/{id}/replies?cursor=<optional>
-> { replies: Tweet[], nextCursor?: string }

The route does not accept a server-side sort. Page through and sort locally by metrics.like_count + metrics.retweet_count.

Typical flow

1. User supplies a tweet ID or URL.
2. Page GET /x/tweets/{id}/replies via nextCursor until you have enough replies (or the thread ends).
3. Sort the collected replies client-side by engagement and keep the top N (default 20).
4. Summarize or list them.

For very large threads (thousands of replies), prefer the extraction path:

POST /extractions
{ "toolType": "reply_extractor", "targetTweetId": "<id>" }
