This guide walks you through retrieving Posts from a List timeline.
**Prerequisites**
Before you begin, you'll need:
* A [developer account](https://developer.x.com/en/portal/petition/essential/basic-info) with an approved App
* Your App's Bearer Token
***
You can find a List ID in the URL when viewing a List on x.com:
```
https://x.com/i/lists/84839422
└── This is the List ID
```
```bash cURL theme={null}
curl "https://api.x.com/2/lists/84839422/tweets?\
tweet.fields=created_at,public_metrics,author_id&\
expansions=author_id&\
user.fields=username,verified&\
max_results=10" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $BEARER_TOKEN"
```
```python title="Python SDK" lines wrap icon="python" theme={null}
from xdk import Client
client = Client(bearer_token="YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN")
# Get Posts from a List with pagination
for page in client.lists.get_tweets(
"84839422",
tweet_fields=["created_at", "public_metrics", "author_id"],
expansions=["author_id"],
user_fields=["username", "verified"],
max_results=10
):
for post in page.data:
print(f"{post.text[:50]}... - Likes: {post.public_metrics.like_count}")
```
```javascript title="JavaScript SDK" lines wrap icon="square-js" theme={null}
import { Client } from "@xdevplatform/xdk";
const client = new Client({ bearerToken: "YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN" });
// Get Posts from a List with pagination
const paginator = client.lists.getTweets("84839422", {
tweetFields: ["created_at", "public_metrics", "author_id"],
expansions: ["author_id"],
userFields: ["username", "verified"],
maxResults: 10,
});
for await (const page of paginator) {
page.data?.forEach((post) => {
console.log(`${post.text?.slice(0, 50)}... - Likes: ${post.public_metrics?.like_count}`);
});
}
```
```json theme={null}
{
"data": [
{
"id": "1458172421115101189",
"text": "Check out our latest announcement...",
"author_id": "4172587277",
"created_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z",
"public_metrics": {
"retweet_count": 42,
"reply_count": 5,
"like_count": 156,
"quote_count": 3
},
"edit_history_tweet_ids": ["1458172421115101189"]
}
],
"includes": {
"users": [
{
"id": "4172587277",
"username": "TechNews",
"verified": true
}
]
},
"meta": {
"result_count": 1,
"next_token": "7140dibdnow9c7btw3z2vwioavpvutgzrzm9icis4ndix"
}
}
```
The SDKs handle pagination automatically. For cURL, use the `next_token` from the response to get more Posts:
```bash theme={null}
curl "https://api.x.com/2/lists/84839422/tweets?\
max_results=10&\
pagination_token=7140dibdnow9c7btw3z2vwioavpvutgzrzm9icis4ndix" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $BEARER_TOKEN"
```
This endpoint returns up to 800 of the most recent Posts from the List.
