curl "https://api.scrapingdog.com/x/post?api_key=5eaa61a6e562fc52fe763tr516e4653&tweetId=1655608985058267139"

Python

import requests

api_key = '5eaa61a6e562fc52fe763tr516e4653'
tweetId = '1655608985058267139'


params = {
    'api_key': api_key,
    'tweetId': tweetId
}

response = requests.get('https://api.scrapingdog.com/x/post', params=params)

if response.status_code == 200:
    # Parse the JSON response using response.json()
    response_data = response.json()
    
    # Now you can work with the response_data as a Python dictionary
    print(response_data)
else:
    print(f'Request failed with status code: {response.status_code}')

Node JS

const axios = require('axios');

};

axios
  .get('https://api.scrapingdog.com/x/post', { params })
  .then((response) => {
    if (response.status === 200) {
      // Parse the JSON response
      const responseData = response.data;
      console.log(responseData);
    } else {
