X (Twitter) Organic (formerly Twitter Organic) surfaces account-level and post-level organic performance for a connected X account through the X API. Connecting it brings follower and following counts, post impressions, profile visits, and post engagement (likes, reposts, replies, bookmarks, quotes) into Adriel dashboards.

​
Before you connect

The following are required:
  • An X (Twitter) account to connect.
  • X API access at a tier that exposes organic analytics — Basic tier or higher is typically required for tweet impressions and engagement metrics. Higher tiers unlock historical impressions, deeper engagement breakdowns, and longer lookback windows.
  • Permission to authorize third-party applications against the account.
  • An X (Twitter) account with access to an X Ads account. This is required to fetch the account list during connection; the X Ads account also needs a configured payment method before its account list is exposed.

1

Authorize the X account

On the data source settings, fill in the two required fields. For Account, choose the account to connect from the dropdown list. For User, choose the user to connect from the dropdown list.
3

Submit

​
What gets imported

Data arrives at daily granularity in UTC via the X API. Lifetime account and post data refresh once per day at 6:30 PM UTC, and the daily-page window refreshes the most recent 3 days at 6:00 PM UTC. The metric set depends on the API tier of the credentials used at authorization — higher tiers expose historical impressions and richer engagement breakdowns, while lower tiers may surface partial coverage. X also enforces strict rate limits on organic analytics endpoints, especially under Free and Basic tiers, which can delay or partially complete a refresh cycle. For the complete list of metrics and breakdowns, see the X (Twitter) Organic data reference.

​
Troubleshooting

The connection requires signing in with an X account that has access to an X Ads account. Without an ad account, the connector cannot fetch the account list. The X Ads account also requires a configured payment method before its account list is exposed via the Ads API.
The X API meters organic analytics by access tier. Metrics such as historical impressions and bookmarks are typically gated to Basic tier or higher. Upgrade the X API plan backing the connection if richer coverage is needed.
X’s organic analytics endpoints enforce strict rate limits, particularly on Free and Basic tiers. Large or high-volume accounts can hit those limits mid-cycle. The next refresh picks up where the previous one stopped.
X refresh tokens eventually expire or can be revoked by the X account holder. Reconnect the data source through the OAuth flow to mint a new token pair.
The initial backfill retrieves posts created within the past 182 days but only with lifetime metrics — no historical daily values are reconstructed. Daily values accumulate going forward from the connection date.
