User media handoff

Use GET /x/users/{id}/media when a gallery, moderation queue, warehouse, or agent needs recent media tweets from one account. The examples above write JSON Lines rows with the source user, media tweet ID, text, tweet URL, author ID, username, display name, follower count, verified state, profile image URL, engagement counts, media_urls, media_types, and cursor fields so a worker can resume from the last saved next_cursor.

Which media endpoint?

Use GET /api/v1/x/users/{id}/media when every row must be a media tweet from one profile. Store media_urls, media_types, media_tweet_id, page_cursor, next_cursor, and has_next_page.
Use GET /api/v1/x/users/{id}/tweets when the sync also needs non-media posts or replies.
Use GET /api/v1/x/tweets/{id} when you already know one tweet ID and need its media plus full tweet detail.
Use POST /api/v1/x/media only to host or validate a local file or HTTPS media URL before a write. Pass mediaUrl to POST /api/v1/x/tweets, or pass mediaId as the only media_ids item for POST /api/v1/x/dm/{userId}.
