X user_media API

X user_media data in one REST call — normalized to the stable JSON schema shared across every FetchPI platform.

1 documented endpoints
GET /v1/x/users/{username}/media

Contract summary (English): List user media (capability x.user_media)

Normalized response entity: x/user_media
capability: x.user_media

Every response also carries freshness (cache / default / live) and billing metadata.

Use cases

Feed content-analysis pipelines with structured {{platform}} posts: text, metrics, timestamps and media references.
Power moderation, research and monitoring workflows that need the original content plus engagement counts.
Archive {{platform}} content as stable, normalized JSON instead of brittle page scraping.

Response fields

Paginated media posts of a user as normalized post entities (capability x.user_media). Page size follows the request's `limit` parameter (1..100, default 20). Envelope of GET /v1/x/users/{username}/media.
