Searching tweets with X API

How do I search tweets for research?

Tell Tycoon Agent what you're looking for. She uses the official X/Twitter API or other social-data APIs to search posts and conversations related to your topic.

What can I ask?

  • "Search tweets about the latest AI regulation news"
  • "Find what people are saying about our competitor's launch"
  • "Show me trending discussions about [topic] on X"
  • "Find tweets from key voices in the AI safety space"
  • "Search for customer complaints about [product category]"

How does it work?

Tycoon Agent queries X/Twitter with your criteria and returns relevant tweets, public metrics, and conversation context. The search results come from the X API; analytics and generation on top of them may use other AI models.

How to use it in research

  • Competitive intelligence: monitor what people say about competitors
  • Market research: find unfiltered customer opinions and pain points
  • Trend spotting: identify emerging topics before they mainstream
  • Crisis monitoring: track sentiment around your brand or product
  • Influencer identification: find who drives conversations in your space
