Twitter API's historical search endpoints

Over the past decade, the Twitter API has made available a variety of different tiers of endpoints that enable developers to search for historical Tweets or historical Tweet counts. This page will describe each tier or version to help you figure out which endpoint is right for your use case. 
 

Standard v1.1

This search API searches against a sampling of recent Tweets published in the past 7 days. Part of the v1.1 set of APIs. 


Premium v1.1

Free and scalable paid access to either the last 30 days of Tweets or access to Tweets from as early as 2006. Built on the reliability and full-fidelity of our enterprise data APIs, these endpoints provide the opportunity to upgrade your access as your app and business grow.

Enterprise

Enterprise-level access to either the last 30 days of Tweets or access to Tweets from as early as 2006.  Provides full-fidelity data, direct account management support, and dedicated technical support to help with integration strategy.

Twitter API v2

Twitter API v2 is the primary version of the API. 

This version includes a replacement endpoint for the standard 7 days search and premium and enterprise Full-archive Search API. Twitter API v2 includes many new features, such as the ability to retrieve new data fields like advanced metrics and Tweet annotations, provides more flexibility on which fields return with each payload, and much more.
