How did an X news story change?

X writes a news story for each topic under Explore and News, and rewrites it as the topic moves. Use GET /x/news/{id}/versions to read every version of 1 story, oldest first.

headline is the story’s headline in that version.
text is the story’s text in that version.
createdAt is when X wrote the version, in UTC.

X lists every version at once, so 1 request returns the whole history. A story from 2 hours ago may have 1 version, and a story that ran all day may have 8 or more.

Path parameters

string

required

Story ID, such as 2110209733533598095. The URL-encoded story link also works, such as x.com/i/trending/2110209733533598095. Open a story on x.com to copy its link.

Query parameters

string

Fields to keep in each row, comma-separated, such as id,text,author.username. Use dots for nested fields. Case & underscores do not matter. A row that lacks a field leaves it out. Cursors, counts & diagnostics always stay. An unknown name returns 400 unknown_field with the valid names, before any read. The price stays the same.

string

Fields to drop from each row, comma-separated, such as entities,media. It takes the same names as fields. With fields, it drops from the kept fields.

Headers

string

Full account key. Sessions and OAuth also work.

string

Bearer xq_your_guest_key_here for paid_reads.

Response

200 OK

string

The story ID the request named.

number

Versions returned.

object[]

The story’s versions, oldest first.

string

The version’s ID.

string

When X wrote the version, in UTC. Xquik reads it from the version’s ID.

string

The story’s headline in this version.

string

The story’s text in this version. X writes the time above it in each reader’s time zone, so Xquik leaves that line out and serves createdAt.

400 Invalid story ID

{
  "error": "news_not_found",
  "message": "Story not found. Copy its ID from its x.com/i/trending link."
