console.log(data);The Quote Tweets API for quote posts on X
The YepAPI Quote Tweets API returns the quote posts of any public tweet. Send a tweet id or URL to /v1/twitter/tweet-quotes and get back each quote with the quoter's commentary, engagement metrics, and profile, at $0.01 per call.
Quote tweets carry opinion. A retweet count tells you a post spread; quotes tell you what people said about it.
What does the Quote Tweets API return?
A tweets array of Tweet objects (is_quote: true, with the original in quoted_tweet) and a cursor for the next page.
Build amplification reports
Pull quotes for a campaign tweet, rank them by views to find who drove reach, and classify their commentary with an AI endpoint on the same key. The same flow works for monitoring how a competitor announcement lands.
Quote Tweets API pricing: $0.01 per call
Every call costs a flat $0.01 and failed calls are free. There is no monthly tier to buy, no developer account to get approved, and no separate Twitter API key: one YepAPI key covers every endpoint. Pages are cached for 10 minutes.
Quotes vs. retweets vs. replies
Quote posts add commentary, retweets do not, and replies sit in the conversation. Use the Retweeters API for who shared without comment and the Tweet Replies API for the conversation.
