The x.com/home API uses a GraphQL endpoint to efficiently fetch tweets, leveraging typescript to define request and response structures, simplifying the understanding of its payload.
With a POST request to the HomeTimeline endpoint, the API accepts a structured request that includes a queryId and allows for cursor-based pagination through seenTweetIds.
The design focuses on returning hierarchical relationships, allowing clients to fetch linked data such as tweets, users, and media in a single request efficiently.
Challenges such as sorting, pagination, and fetching tweet details are addressed elegantly, showing the API's capability to handle complex data structures while improving performance.
