See Deleted Tweets

See deleted tweets quickly with Xarchive using Internet Archive CDX snapshot lookups.

This page is built for speed when you need a quick yes/no check on whether a deleted tweet was publicly archived.

Quick answer: Paste a tweet or profile URL into Xarchive, check Internet Archive CDX timestamps around the event window, then open captures to confirm.

Step-by-Step

  1. Paste the target tweet URL into Xarchive first; use profile URL as fallback.
  2. Set a date range that covers before and after the suspected deletion.
  3. Run search and review returned capture timestamps.
  4. Open the closest captures to verify tweet visibility.
  5. Export validated results in JSON, CSV, or HTML.

Common Failure Cases

No captures in the selected range

Expand the date window. A crawl may have happened days before or after the expected time.

Capture exists but tweet is not rendered

Check nearby timestamps because capture completeness varies between snapshots.

Uncertain source quality

Keep the archive URL and exact timestamp with your notes for later verification.

Data Source and Limitations

Data source: Internet Archive CDX index (https://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx). Results depend on what was publicly crawled and stored.

FAQ

Can I see deleted tweets from any account?

Only if public snapshots were captured before deletion. Private or uncrawled pages will not appear.

Is tweet URL always required?

No. Profile URLs can work, but direct tweet URLs usually produce cleaner results.

Can I export a proof set?

Yes. Xarchive supports JSON, CSV, and HTML exports for documentation workflows.
