What people use viral tweets for
Creators
Find the first lines and formats that stop people in your niche this week, then write your own take.
Marketers
Catch a trend early enough to join it, and see which posts about your category travel past their authors’ audience.
Journalists
See what people say about a story in the last 24 hours, and which voices it reached through.
Researchers
Pull the posts that spread on a topic, with their counts, as CSV for a dataset or a chart.
Learn from them, don’t copy them
Borrow the structure (the kind of first line, the format, the length) and bring your own idea and voice. A copied post is easy to spot, and it’s someone else’s work.
Track viral posts on your topics with the API
The free finder reads the first two pages of one search. POST /search-tweets takes the same query and reads every page with next_cursor, about 20 posts a request, each with its views, likes, reposts, replies and the author’s profile. Run it every hour or every morning from your code, a no-code tool or an AI assistant.
One topic checked every hour for a month: 720 requests, from $1.01. The same 14,400 posts cost $72.00 at the official X API’s rate.
No credit card, and they never expire.
Plans and the rate per request: Sorsa API pricing.

Finding viral tweets
How do I find viral tweets on a topic?
Type the topic into Sorsa Viral Tweet Finder, pick a likes bar (100+, 1,000+ or 10,000+) and a window (the last 24 hours, 7 or 30 days), and press Find viral posts. It lists the original posts that cleared the bar, ranked by views, speed or reach past their authors’ followers. On X itself, search the topic with min_faves:1000 and open the Top tab.
Can I find viral tweets from today?
Yes. Pick the last 24 hours and rank by Fastest: the posts gaining the most views an hour come first, so you see what’s taking off before it peaks.
Can I search a hashtag or an exact phrase?
Yes. Type a hashtag (#buildinpublic), a phrase in quotes ("remote work") or plain words. For how many posts a hashtag gets and who drives it, use Twitter Hashtag Analytics.
Can I filter by language or format?
Yes. Open Filters to keep one language, only videos, only photos or only text, and to include or leave out replies.
What counts as viral
What is considered a viral tweet?
There’s no official threshold. A post is viral when it spreads far past its author’s followers, and fast: 500 likes can be viral for a small account in a niche, while 50,000 is normal for a celebrity. That’s why the finder shows views an hour and reach past followers next to the likes.
How many views make a tweet viral?
It depends on the account. A useful test: views far above the author’s follower count, 10× or more, within one or two days. 100,000 views from an account with 2,000 followers spread; the same views from an account with a million didn’t.
What does “Beyond followers” mean?
It ranks posts by views divided by the author’s followers. 40× means the post was viewed 40 times as often as the account has followers: X showed it far beyond them. It’s a sign of spread, not a count of people, because X counts a view every time a post is shown.
How is speed measured?
Views divided by the hours since the post went up, counting at least one hour. It’s measured when you search, so the same post reads slower the next day.
What is the most viral tweet of all time?
By likes, the August 2020 post from Chadwick Boseman’s account announcing the actor’s death, with more than 6.7 million likes on November 1, 2026. The Twitter Top Tweets Finder keeps the full list. This finder looks at the last 30 days at most.
Free, CSV and the API
Is the viral tweet finder free?
Yes. Search, rank and download the posts as CSV with no sign-up. To run searches on a schedule and read every page, Sorsa API gives you 100 free requests, up to 2,000 posts.
Can I export viral tweets to CSV?
Yes. Download CSV saves every post the search found, with its link, author, followers, views, likes, reposts, replies, views an hour and reach past followers.
Can I get viral posts on my topics every day?
Yes, through Sorsa API: send POST /search-tweets with your topic, min_faves: and since: every hour or every morning from your code, a no-code tool or an AI assistant. One topic every hour for a month is 720 requests, from $1.01.
Is there an API for viral tweets?
Sorsa API’s POST /search-tweets takes the operators this finder uses (min_faves:, since:, lang:, -filter:replies) with order popular or latest, back to 2006, about 20 posts a request, with one API key and no X developer account.
Can I see who liked a viral post?
No. X shows who liked a post only to the post’s author; everyone else sees the count. To see who reposted a post, use the Twitter Retweeters Viewer.
Every viral post, every morning
Run your searches on a schedule through Sorsa API and get every post with its views, likes and author: from $0.07 per 1,000 posts.
