Build with X Import.
Download videos from X (Twitter) posts by URL
Best for
Download videos from X (Twitter) posts by URL Use the playground to set up a single step, then open a workflow when you want to connect more tools.
Inputs explained
- X Post URL (required)
- Set the x post url used by this model. Type: text.
- Cookies (optional) (optional)
- Set the cookies (optional) used by this model. Type: text.
Tips before you run
Start with the default settings and change one input at a time. Keep the result you like on your board so the next step can use it.
If you add a reference file, use a link the workflow can read. Check the inputs and credit estimate on the board before starting a run.
Working with this model
Which video it imports
Paste the post's link. A post with one video imports that video. A post with
several imports the FIRST one, unless the link names another: add
/video/<n> to pick the Nth, counted from 1 across all of the post's media,
photos included. https://x.com/user/status/123/video/2 is the second. A
/photo/<n> link is read as the post itself, so it imports the first video.
Links from x.com and twitter.com both work, with or without www.,
mobile. or a tracking query like ?s=20. Anything that is not a post link
is refused before the download starts.
Quality caps the short side
Quality limits the SHORT side of the video, so 1080 keeps a 1080x1920 vertical post at full size. When the post has no rendition at the cap, the next one down is taken.
Cookies are a live session, and they travel
Public posts need no cookies. A post X only shows to signed-in viewers (sensitive media, a protected account) needs an X session: export cookies from a throwaway X account in Netscape format, paste them into a text node and wire it to Cookies. Whatever you wire is stored with the workflow, goes out with a shared link, and is frozen into a published Blueprint. Sign that account out when you are done so the session stops working.
Common questions
How do I use X Import on Wireflow?
Set the inputs above and choose Open in a workflow. Sign in to save your board, then check its credit estimate before you run.
Can I use X Import through an API?
Yes. Save a workflow with this model, then call the Wireflow run API with its workflow ID. The API tab has examples you can copy.
What changes the credit price?
The price shown uses the model defaults. Your inputs and model settings can change the total. The workflow shows an estimate before you run.
Can I connect this to another model?
Yes. Open it in a workflow and connect its output to another node with a matching input type.
