Best Inputs
Username searches are best for profile-level discovery. If you need to verify a specific deleted tweet, start from a direct tweet URL workflow in the deleted tweets guides.
Twitter Archive Search
Search public Twitter and X archive captures by username, date range, and Wayback Machine timestamp with Xarchive.
Quick answer: Use Xarchive when you need a practical Twitter archive search workflow: enter a username, choose a date range, inspect public Wayback captures, and export the rows that matter.
Workflow
- Enter a Twitter or X username without the @ symbol.
- Choose the archive date range you want to inspect.
- Use unique URL mode when you want a cleaner list of captures.
- Open archived URLs from the results table to verify the page content.
- Download HTML for review or CSV/JSON for structured analysis.
Search by Date Range
Date filtering is useful when you know the event window. A narrow range reduces noisy captures and makes it easier to compare what changed over time.
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.

FAQ
Does Xarchive store Twitter data itself?
No. Xarchive queries public Internet Archive CDX records and formats the results for review and export.
Can I use this for X.com URLs?
Yes. Xarchive is built for Twitter/X archive workflows, but archive availability still depends on public captures.
What export format should I use?
Use HTML for human review, CSV for spreadsheets, and JSON for developer or research workflows.
