Twitter screenshot API
One GET request with a post ID returns the image. Your AI agent does the same through MCP. Both use your saved style, so every image matches the ones you make in the editor.
Keys come with an invite. The full reference opens after you sign in.
- Send a request
- Get the image
- Or ask your agent
How it works
Create a key
Sign in and create a key on the API keys page. Give each script or agent its own key.
Send a request
GET /api/v1/screenshot/{id} with the key as a Bearer token. The response is the image.
Or connect your agent
Add the FeedShots MCP server. Your agent gets screenshot_tweet, screenshot_thread and get_tweet.
What the API gives you
Your saved style
Skip a parameter and it comes from your default style.
Threads in one call
GET /api/v1/thread/{id} returns the whole thread as one tall image.
Translation
Add tr=ru and the image shows a machine translation under the original.
Cache built in
The same request within 10 minutes comes from cache.
Clear errors
404 for a deleted or private post, 429 with Retry-After when a key goes too fast.
In your history
Every image made with a key shows up in your history, by key name.

Questions
All questions →How do I get an API key?
Sign in, open API keys and create one. Send it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.
What are the limits?
60 requests a minute per key. Go over it and you get 429 with a Retry-After header: wait that many seconds.
Which MCP clients work?
Any client that connects to a remote MCP server over HTTP and sends an Authorization header, for example Claude Code.
Can the API translate a post?
Yes. Add tr with a language code, like tr=ru. Each person gets 100 translations a day.
How long do download links work?
MCP returns a signed link that opens without a key for 24 hours.
