Build precise searches without memorizing syntax
The workbench turns explicit choices into the advanced-search syntax supported by TweetAPI. It keeps the form as the source of truth, so raw text can never silently become a hidden operator.
Compose deterministically
Combine words, phrases, accounts, ordinary dates, media, language, engagement, and result type through validated fields.
Inspect before you run
See the exact compiled query, operator explanation, validation state, and backend-aligned 512-character count.
Keep one activation path
Signed-in users hand the same query to GET /tw-v2/search in the existing API playground—never to an anonymous live-results preview.
A focused query workbench, not an autonomous search agent
Manual mode is unlimited and runs in the browser. Optional AI interpretation is narrowly bounded: OpenAI fills a validated form object, then deterministic code compiles the final query. It cannot execute searches, take account actions, or save presets.
- No API key, X cookie, password, or account connection requested
- No anonymous TweetAPI search or live result preview
- No raw description or generated query sent to PostHog analytics
- No query history, saved presets, autonomous monitoring, or write actions
From query to authenticated API request
Copying is public. Running is intentionally different: the query is kept only in same-tab session storage through signup or signin, then loaded into the existing authenticated playground. Search terms never need to appear in the handoff URL.
- 01Build or interpret a structured form and resolve every validation error.
- 02Inspect the compiled query, result type, explanation, and character count.
- 03Copy it publicly, or sign up/sign in to preserve it in the same browser tab.
- 04Choose an owned API key in the TweetAPI playground and explicitly run the request.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Twitter advanced search builder without an account?
Yes. The deterministic manual builder, validation, query explanation, presets, character count, and copy action work anonymously without limits. An account is required only to execute the query in TweetAPI's authenticated playground.
Does this page search Twitter for anonymous visitors?
No. Anonymous visitors never trigger a TweetAPI search or receive live results. The page only builds and inspects a query locally, apart from optional AI interpretation and privacy-safe aggregate analytics.
What does the AI mode do?
AI mode uses OpenAI to translate a natural-language description into the same validated structured form. OpenAI does not compile or execute the final query; deterministic code performs both validation and compilation.
Why is the query limited to 512 characters?
TweetAPI's current GET /tw-v2/search validation accepts queries up to 512 characters. The counter and blocking validation match that backend contract.
How do dates work in advanced search?
since:YYYY-MM-DD is inclusive and until:YYYY-MM-DD is exclusive. Both are interpreted as ordinary UTC date boundaries. Snowflake ID and timestamp conversion remains available in TweetAPI's separate timestamp converter.
