Today, we’re launching the Quote Tweets lookup endpoint to the Twitter API v2 which gives developers and researchers the ability to get the Quote Tweets for a Tweet. This endpoint, which is only available on the Twitter API v2, is particularly helpful for researchers looking to study the entire conversation and context around a Tweet - including all replies to it and all Quote Tweets of it. Below is an example of a Quote Tweet:
Getting started
In order to get started with these endpoints, you need to make sure you have a Twitter developer account. Once you have access, you can use the quick start guide available for the Quote Tweets lookup endpoint. We also have code samples available in Python, Ruby, JavaScript & Java. in our TwitterDev Github repository to help you get started quickly. Just add the appropriate bearer token from your app to the code samples in order to connect to these endpoints.

Note: By default, only 10 Tweets are returned for a request, and using the max_results parameter you can get upto 100 Tweets per request. If you want additional Tweets, you can use the next_token value to paginate. Learn more about pagination here.
If you use Python, you can try out the Quote Tweet endpoint using the Twarc and Tweepy libraries that support this endpoint.
We hope that developers and researchers will find value with this new endpoint. If you have questions about this endpoint, feel free to ask in our Twitter community forums.
