Get an X account's posts with media

GET /v1/x/users/{user}/media

Returns the profile's Media tab: the account's own posts that carry photos, videos, or GIFs, newest first. Media URLs are in each post's media. 404 when the account does not exist, or is protected: a protected account's posts and connections are visible only to accounts it approved. Billed per post returned. The first page also bills one profile lookup, to resolve {user}; later pages carry the account in the cursor and do not.

Price: 1 credit per call, plus 2 credits per X profile and 1 credit per X post returned. Failed and refused calls cost nothing.

Rate limit: Counts as 2 requests against your per-minute rate limit.

MCP tool: get_x_user_media, on every MCP connection.

Requires an API key, sent as Authorization: Bearer <key>.
