How these numbers are counted
Archived is how many distinct tweets of the account the Wayback Machine has captured on twitter.com or x.com. For No longer on X, a random sample of up to 400 of those tweets was checked against X, and the share X no longer shows (deleted, protected or suspended) is applied to the archived count.
Quick answer: Xarchive is a deleted tweet finder built on the Wayback Machine: use it as a deleted tweets viewer for a whole profile, or as a checker for a single tweet URL. Search the tweet URL or profile, narrow the date range around the event, then open nearby Wayback captures before exporting the useful timestamps.
Workflow
- 1
Start with the direct tweet URL when you have it, or use the profile username as a fallback.
- 2
Run a public archive lookup in Xarchive.
- 3
Filter captures around the likely posting, deletion, or news event window.
- 4
Open the closest Wayback timestamps and compare more than one capture when possible.
- 5
Export the confirmed rows in HTML, CSV, or JSON.
When Deleted Tweets Can Be Found
Deleted tweets can only be reviewed when a public crawler saved the tweet or profile before it disappeared. Direct tweet URLs usually produce cleaner evidence than broad profile searches, but profile captures can still help when the exact URL is missing.
What to Save
Keep the original URL, archived URL, UTC timestamp, visible text, and export file together. That makes the archive result easier to cite, share, or re-check later.
Data Source and Limits
Xarchive searches public Internet Archive CDX records. Coverage depends on what was publicly crawled, so an empty result means there is no matching public capture in the selected range, not that the original post never existed.

Is absence of a capture proof that a tweet never existed?
No. It only means Xarchive did not find a matching public archive capture for the selected target and date range.
Should I search by username or tweet URL?
Use the tweet URL first. Use username or profile searches when the exact URL is unavailable.
