# 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](/mcp) connection.

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

curl --request GET \
