This guide walks you through retrieving your bookmarked Posts using the X API.

<Note>
  **Prerequisites**

  Before you begin, you'll need:

  * A [developer account](https://developer.x.com/en/portal/petition/essential/basic-info) with an approved App
  * User Access Token with `bookmark.read` scope (OAuth 2.0 PKCE)
</Note>

## Get your bookmarks

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your user ID">
    You need your authenticated user's ID. You can find it using the `/2/users/me` endpoint or from the [user lookup endpoint](/x-api/users/lookup/introduction).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Request your bookmarks">
    <CodeGroup dropdown>
      ```bash cURL theme={null}
      curl "https://api.x.com/2/users/2244994945/bookmarks?\
      tweet.fields=created_at,public_metrics,author_id&\
      max_results=10" \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN"
      ```

      ```python Python SDK theme={null}
      from xdk import Client

      client = Client(bearer_token="YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN")

      # Get bookmarked Posts with pagination
      for page in client.bookmarks.get(
          "2244994945",
          tweet_fields=["created_at", "public_metrics", "author_id"],
          max_results=10
      ):
          for post in page.data:
              print(f"{post.text[:50]}... - Likes: {post.public_metrics.like_count}")
      ```

      ```javascript JavaScript SDK theme={null}
      import { Client } from "@xdevplatform/xdk";

      const client = new Client({ accessToken: "YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" });

      // Get bookmarked Posts with pagination
      const paginator = client.bookmarks.get("2244994945", {
        tweetFields: ["created_at", "public_metrics", "author_id"],
        maxResults: 10,
      });

      for await (const page of paginator) {
        page.data?.forEach((post) => {
          console.log(`${post.text?.slice(0, 50)}... - Likes: ${post.public_metrics?.like_count}`);
        });
      }
      ```
    </CodeGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the response">
    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "data": [
        {
          "id": "1501258597237342208",
          "text": "Have you built a project using the X API you'd like to share with the community? We'd love to hear from you!",
          "created_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z",
          "author_id": "2244994945",
          "public_metrics": {
            "retweet_count": 15,
            "reply_count": 8,
            "like_count": 89,
            "quote_count": 3
          }
        },
        {
          "id": "1501258542258348032",
          "text": "This is just one way developer innovation helps make X a better place...",
          "created_at": "2024-01-15T09:15:00.000Z",

            "retweet_count": 22,
            "reply_count": 5,
            "like_count": 156,
            "quote_count": 7
          }
        }
      ],
      "meta": {
        "result_count": 2,
        "next_token": "7140dibdnow9c7btw4539n0vybdnx19ylpayqf16fjt4l"
      }
    }
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Include author information

Use expansions to get data about Post authors:

<CodeGroup dropdown>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl "https://api.x.com/2/users/2244994945/bookmarks?\
  tweet.fields=created_at,author_id&\
  expansions=author_id&\
  user.fields=username,verified" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $USER_ACCESS_TOKEN"
  ```

  ```python Python SDK theme={null}
  from xdk import Client

  client = Client(bearer_token="YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN")

  # Get bookmarks with author info
  for page in client.bookmarks.get(
      "2244994945",
      tweet_fields=["created_at", "author_id"],
      expansions=["author_id"],
      user_fields=["username", "verified"]
  ):
      for post in page.data:
          print(f"{post.text[:50]}...")
      # Author info is in page.includes.users
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript SDK theme={null}
  import { Client } from "@xdevplatform/xdk";

  const client = new Client({ accessToken: "YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN" });

  // Get bookmarks with author info
  const paginator = client.bookmarks.get("2244994945", {
    tweetFields: ["created_at", "author_id"],
    expansions: ["author_id"],
    userFields: ["username", "verified"],
  });

  for await (const page of paginator) {
    page.data?.forEach((post) => {
      console.log(`${post.text?.slice(0, 50)}...`);
    });
    // Author info is in page.includes?.users
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Required scopes

When using OAuth 2.0 PKCE, your access token must have these scopes:

| Scope           | Description                     |
| :-------------- | :------------------------------ |
| `bookmark.read` | Read bookmarks                  |
| `tweet.read`    | Read Post data                  |
| `users.read`    | Read user data (for expansions) |
