Twitter Search by Date
Sorsa API’s Search Tweets by Date shows everything a public X account posted on a given day, in your own time zone, with likes, views and replies.
Time zone
Every post the account made that day, hour by hour, appears here.
Pick the account and the day; the times follow the time zone you choose.
How to search tweets by date on X
Type from:handle since:YYYY-MM-DD until:YYYY-MM-DD into X’s search box and open the Latest tab. since: is the first day included and until: is the day after the last one you want; both count in UTC days. Sorsa API’s tool above does the same search in your own time zone.
Add -filter:replies to hide replies, or filter:media to keep only posts with photos or video. For a wider search, the Twitter Advanced Search builds the query for you, and Twitter search operators lists every one.
from:saltmarsh_bay_weatherOne account’s posts only.since:2026-10-14The first day included, from 00:00 UTC.until:2026-10-15The day after the last one you want: it isn’t included.
On a computer and on a phone
- On x.comType the query in the search box, press Enter, then open Latest. Advanced Search, in the menu beside the box, has date fields of its own.
- In the X appType the same query in the search bar and tap Latest. The app has no Advanced Search screen, but the operators work.
Why Twitter search by date misses posts
If since: and until: seem to skip posts, it’s almost always one of four reasons. The first is the one that catches most people.
Time zones
since: and until: count UTC days. In New York, a UTC day begins at 7 PM the evening before (8 PM in summer), so posts from the evening land on the next date. The tool above searches your own local day instead.
Top instead of Latest
X opens search on Top, a selection of posts. Switch to Latest to see every post in order.
Indexing
X’s search doesn’t index every post, and the oldest are the likeliest to be missing.
Deleted and protected posts
Deleted posts are gone for good, and a protected account’s posts show only to its approved followers.
How to find old tweets
Which way works depends on what you remember about the post.
You know roughly when
Search the account by date above, then step one day at a time around the day you remember.
It was popular
The Twitter Top Tweets Finder ranks an account’s most liked or most viewed posts by year.
You have its link or ID
The Tweet ID to Date converter reads the exact second it was posted from the ID.
It’s your own post
Download your X archive in Settings and privacy, under Your account: it holds every post you made, including ones X’s search no longer returns.
It was deleted
X’s search won’t show it. Look for an archived copy of the post’s address in the Wayback Machine.
Read an account’s posts for any period
The tool shows up to 60 posts a search, one day’s posts for almost any account. For a month or a year, Sorsa API runs the same search with X’s operators and returns 20 posts per request with every number, newest first: from $0.07 per 1,000 posts. Your first 100 requests are free.
What the request takes
- The operators you know
- from:, since:, until:, since_id:, max_id:, -filter:replies, filter:media.
- 20 posts per request
- Newest first or most popular first, with a cursor to the next page.
- No 3,200-post cap
- Search reaches back to 2006, not just an account’s newest posts.

Questions about date search
The tool
Is this date search free?
Yes. Search any public account here with no sign-up. For longer periods, a free Sorsa API key adds 100 requests, no card needed.
Can I search a range of dates?
Yes, up to three days at a time here, in order. For a month or a year, use Export Tweets to CSV or Sorsa API, which reads any period in one search.
Which time zone are the dates in?
