How To Find A Direct X (Twitter) Post/Tweet URL

Finding the direct link to an X (formerly Twitter) post is easy. You’ll need this URL when setting up X-related entry methods in your SweepWidget giveaway.

Method 1: Using the Share Button

  1. Navigate to the post you want to link to on X
  2. Click the Share icon (arrow pointing upward) located at the bottom of the post
  3. Select Copy link from the menu
  4. The URL is now copied to your clipboard

Method 2: From the Post Page

  1. Click on the post to open it in full view
  2. Copy the URL directly from your browser’s address bar

Method 3: From the Date/Time

  1. Find the post in your timeline or profile
  2. Click on the date/time stamp below the post
  3. This opens the individual post page
  4. Copy the URL from your browser’s address bar

X Post URL Format

X post URLs follow this format:

https://x.com/username/status/1234567890123456789

Old Twitter URLs still work and will redirect:

https://twitter.com/username/status/1234567890123456789

Using the URL in SweepWidget

Once you have the post URL, you can use it in these SweepWidget entry methods:

  • Repost on X – Participants repost your post
  • Like on X – Participants like your post
  • Reply on X – Participants reply to your post
  • Quote Post on X – Participants quote your post

Simply paste the URL into the appropriate field when configuring your entry method.

Tips

  • Make sure the post is from a public account, otherwise participants won’t be able to see or interact with it
  • Both x.com and twitter.com URLs work in SweepWidget
  • You can use posts from any public X account, not just your own
