From a response recorded 2026-10-12 19:04 UTC. Names, text and IDs are examples, and so are the links: none is the recorded one (the page shows no one's personal data); the figures are as recorded. Long lists are cut. The request ID, cursor and balance are made up.

Size as sent: 1.3 KB in the standard view (1.0 KB compact, 1.3 KB full).

This example as a JSON file

  --data-urlencode "id=2108198226532708497" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DATAXAPI_API_KEY"

from dataxapi import DataXAPI

dx = DataXAPI()  # reads DATAXAPI_API_KEY
result = dx.x.posts.get(id="2108198226532708497")
print(result["data"]["item"])

import { DataXAPI } from "@dataxapi/sdk";

const dx = new DataXAPI(); // reads DATAXAPI_API_KEY
const result = await dx.x.posts.get({ id: "2108198226532708497" });
console.log(result.data.item);
