Extract and merge Twitter (X) threads using TwitterAPI.io

Twitter (X) Thread Fetcher: Extract and Merge Tweets from Threads

What it does

• Thread Detection: Automatically detects whether the provided Twitter link is a single tweet or a thread.
• Tweet Extraction: Fetches and returns the content of a single tweet, or gathers all tweets in a thread by retrieving the first tweet and all connected replies.
• Thread Merging: Merges all tweets in the correct order to reconstruct the complete thread, filtering out any empty results.
• Seamless Integration: Easily trigger this workflow from other n8n workflows to automate Twitter thread extraction from various sources.

How it works

• Accepts a Twitter link as input-either a single tweet or a thread.
• If the link is for a single tweet, fetches and returns the tweet content.
• If the link is for a thread, fetches the first tweet, then iteratively retrieves all connected replies that form the thread, ensuring only relevant tweets are included.
• Merges the first tweet and all subsequent thread tweets in order, filters out any empty results, and returns the complete thread.
• Uses twitterapi.io for all Twitter API requests.

Set up steps

• Setup typically takes just a few minutes. You’ll need to configure your Twitter API credentials for twitterapi.io.
• You can trigger this workflow manually for testing or call it from another workflow to automate thread fetching from sources like Notion, spreadsheets, or other platforms.
• For best results, create a separate workflow to gather Twitter links from your preferred source, then trigger this workflow to fetch and return the full thread.
