Find the exact timestamp of any tweet — down to the millisecond — using its URL or tweet ID. No API key required.
How It Works: Twitter Snowflake IDs
Every tweet has a unique numeric ID. Twitter uses the "Snowflake" format for these IDs, which encodes the creation timestamp directly in the number. By parsing this ID, we can extract the exact time the tweet was created.
What You Can Find
- **Exact date** — Year, month, day
- **Exact time** — Hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds
- **Timezone** — Displayed in UTC with local time conversion
Use Cases
- **Journalism** — Verify when breaking news tweets were posted
- **Legal research** — Establish exact timeline of social media posts
- **Research** — Analyze when specific content was published
- **History** — Determine when a tweet predates certain events
Even for Deleted Tweets
Since the timestamp is encoded in the tweet ID itself, you can extract the creation time from any tweet ID — even if the tweet has been deleted. Just paste the numeric tweet ID directly if you still have it.
