# Twitter Video Metadata
> Get Twitter video metadata.
**Product**: Visual Intelligence — Social Media Scraping
**Use case**: Fetch video metadata, transcripts, captions, and comments from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter/X
**Host**: `https://mavi-backend.memories.ai/serve/api/v2`
**Auth**: `Authorization: sk-mavi-...` (no `Bearer` prefix)
This endpoint allows you to retrieve metadata for a Twitter video.
Channel routing guide: see [Social Media Scraping Overview](/visual-intelligence/social-media-scraping-overview). Endpoints with a `channel` request field let you choose `apify`, `rapid`, or `memories.ai`; endpoints without this field use managed routing.
**Pricing:**
* **rapid** channel: \$0.01 per video
* **memories.ai** channel: \$0.01 per video
* **apify** channel: Charged at Apify's actual cost (higher and variable pricing)
### Code Example
```python Python theme={null}
import requests
BASE_URL = "https://mavi-backend.memories.ai/serve/api/v2"
API_KEY = "sk-mavi-..."
HEADERS = {
"Authorization": f"{API_KEY}"
}
def twitter_video_metadata(video_url: str, channel: str):
url = f"{BASE_URL}/twitter/video/metadata"
data = {"video_url": video_url, "channel": channel}
resp = requests.post(url, headers=HEADERS, json=data)
return resp.json()
# Usage example
result = twitter_video_metadata("https://x.com/NBCOlympics/status/1989901761650323606", "apify")
print(result)
```
### Request Body
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| ---------- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| video\_url | string | Yes | The Twitter video URL |
| channel | string | Yes | The channel name. Supported values: `apify`, `rapid`, `memories.ai` |
### Response
**Response shape depends on the `channel` parameter** — same channel-dependent split as the YouTube / TikTok / Instagram siblings. Verified live:
* `channel: "apify"` — `data` is an **array**. On a tweet with no scrapable video it returns `[{ "noResults": ... }]`; on a tweet with video it returns the rich apify-shaped object below.
* `channel: "memories.ai"` — `data` is an **object** wrapping Twitter's native shape: `{ result: { ... } }`.
* `channel: "rapid"` — same alternative shape as `memories.ai`.
Pick a channel per integration; the example below is the **apify** shape.
