This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
Number of a post (tweet) on X, formerly Twitter, as in https://x.com/i/status/20. Posts since November 2010 have Snowflake IDs of 18 or 19 digits that encode the creation time; earlier posts have shorter sequential numbers, the first public post being 20. APIs send the ID as a string because it does not fit a JavaScript number. The regexp is the format of Wikidata property P5933; any large integer matches it, so detect the type by field names such as tweet_id, status_id and post_id.
