<Info>
  Get user mentions timeline returns tweets that mention one X account. Use it
  for brand mentions, support inboxes, lead routing, and agent handoffs. The
  canonical route stays `GET /api/v1/x/users/{id}/mentions`.

</CodeGroup>

The Node.js and Python snippets write one JSON Lines row per mentioned tweet.
Persist each row with the latest `next_cursor` before requesting the next page.

## Direct mention handoff

Use `GET /x/users/{id}/mentions` when a support, community, brand monitoring,
lead routing, or agent workflow needs the newest tweets mentioning one account.
This mentions timeline endpoint accepts either a username or numeric user ID and
returns one JSON page at a time. Use [`mentions`](/api-reference/extractions/create)
when you need a saved extraction, estimate, or CSV/JSON/XLSX file export.

Store `mentioned_user_id_or_username`, `tweet_id`, `text`, `tweet_url`,
`author_id`, `author_username`, `author_name`, `author_followers`, `author_verified`,
`author_profile_picture`, `created_at`, `conversation_id`, reply context,
engagement counts, media URLs, `page_cursor`, `has_next_page`, and
`next_cursor`. Treat `next_cursor` as opaque and pass it back as `cursor` only
when `has_next_page` is true. Use `sinceTime` and `untilTime` to bound a poller
window. Zero affordable results return `402 insufficient_credits`.

## Build a mentions triage job

Use these checkpoints when a support inbox, lead queue, campaign report, or
agent workflow needs bounded mention pages with resumable cursor state.

## Which timeline endpoint?

* Use `GET /api/v1/x/users/{id}/mentions` for one user's mentions timeline.
* Use `GET /api/v1/x/users/{id}/tweets` for one user's profile timeline.
* Use `GET /api/v1/x/tweets/search` for keyword, operator, or advanced search.
* Use `GET /api/v1/x/timeline` for the authenticated account's home timeline.

## Path parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  X username or numeric user ID. Use a username such as `xquikcom` when the
