Clarification on `GET /2/tweets/:id/liking_users` scope across tiers (Free vs Basic+)

Author: louieworthCreated Nov 10, 2025Updated Nov 10, 2025

Hi team—two quick questions about the GET /2/tweets/:id/liking_users endpoint:

  1. Scope: Can this endpoint return the liking users for any public tweet (i.e., tweets not owned by my account), or is it limited to my own tweets?

  2. Tiers: On Free, my tests only succeed for my own tweets; calls for others’ public tweets fail (insufficient permission/forbidden).

    • If I upgrade to Basic (or higher), will I be able to retrieve liking users for others’ public tweets?
    • Do tiers differ only by rate/quotas, or also by capabilities/permissions for this endpoint?
    • Is there any plan/tier where this data is never available for third-party public tweets?

Endpoint: GET /2/tweets/{id}/liking_users Auth: OAuth2 Bearer (app context) Ask: Please confirm the intended behavior per tier and share the official documentation that explicitly states these limitations/allowances. Thanks!
