# Search tweets between two dates by adding since and until to the query

social.search has no date field, but the query passes X's own search operators through. Add since:2026-10-01 until:2026-10-15 after the keyword and the posts come back from that window only, with text, author, date, likes, replies and views. Use it to read what people said during a launch or an event.

## How to do it

1. **Write the window.** Keyword, then since:YYYY-MM-DD and until:YYYY-MM-DD. until is the day after the last one you want.
2. **Call social.search.** platform x, the query and a limit. Check created_at on the results.
3. **Split long windows.** Results run newest first, so a wide window fills up with its last day. Run one call per day to cover it evenly.
4. **Read the reactions.** social.comments on a tweet URL returns the replies under it.

## Ask it like this

- Pull tweets about devday for each day from October 6 to 14 and chart the daily views. (`social.search`)
- Find what people tweeted about our launch in the two days after it, then read the replies on the most viewed one. (`social.search`, `social.comments`)

## Connect

MCP server: `https://api.routergrowth.com/mcp`

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http routergrowth https://api.routergrowth.com/mcp
```

```bash
npm install -g routergrowth && routergrowth setup
routergrowth run -c social.search -i '{"platform": "x", "query": "devday since:2026-10-01 until:2026-10-15", "limit": 10}'
```

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.routergrowth.com/v1/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ROUTERGROWTH_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"capability": "social.search", "input": {"platform": "x", "query": "devday since:2026-10-01 until:2026-10-15", "limit": 10}}'
```

## Worth knowing

- **Operators, not a field.** The dates work because X reads since: and until: inside the query. The capability has no date setting of its own.
- **The last day wins.** All ten results here fell on October 14. Split the window by day for a full picture.
- **Check the dates.** Read created_at on every post before you report a count for a window.

## Questions

### Is until inclusive?

No. until:2026-10-15 stops before October 15, so the last posts here are from October 14.

### Can I combine it with from:?

X reads from:handle in the query too, so it should narrow a window to one account; test it with a small limit first.

### How far back can I go?

The search reaches older public tweets; test the window you need with a small limit first.

### What does it cost per day of data?

Each call is priced per post returned, so one call per day costs about the same as one call over a week with the same limit.
