**To embed a tweet on a website, open the post on x.com, select the three-dot menu or share icon, choose Embed post, copy the code from publish.x.com and paste it into your page’s HTML.** The embedded tweet shows the post as it appears on X, with the author, media and a link back, and it updates if the post changes.

An embedded tweet is a live copy of a public post placed on another website. X runs the embed tool at [publish.x.com](https://publish.x.com), linked from every X Help Center page. For the parts of a post and where its ID lives, see [what a tweet is on X](/blog/x-guides/what-is-a-tweet/).

## What Is an Embedded Tweet?

**An embedded tweet is a public post shown inside a web page through X’s embed code, rather than as a screenshot.** Readers can like, reply to or follow from it, and it credits the author automatically. Because it loads from X, it reflects the post’s current state: if the author deletes it or protects their account, the embed stops showing the content.

## How Do You Get the Embed Code for a Tweet?

**You get the embed code from the post’s menu on x.com, or by pasting the post’s URL into publish.x.com.** Listed below are the 4 steps.

1.  **Open** the post on x.com in a browser.
2.  **Select** the three-dot menu or the share icon, then **Embed post**.
3.  **Copy** the code that publish.x.com shows, after choosing any display options.
4.  **Paste** it into the HTML of your page, or an HTML block in your site builder.

The code is a short quote block with a link to the post and one script line:

```
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
  <a href="https://twitter.com/NASA/status/1140437409710116865"></a>
</blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
```

## How Do You Change How an Embedded Tweet Looks?

**You change an embedded tweet’s look with options on publish.x.com or attributes on the quote block.** Listed below are the 3 most used.

| Option | Attribute | Effect |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Dark theme | data-theme="dark" | Matches dark websites |
| Hide the parent post | data-conversation="none" | Shows a reply without the post it answers |
| Hide media cards | data-cards="hidden" | Shows text without the photo or link preview |

If you embed several posts on one page, include the script line only once.

## Why Is an Embedded Tweet Not Showing?

**An embedded tweet stops showing when the post is deleted, the account becomes protected or suspended, or the page blocks X’s script.** The first three are on X’s side; X explains the notices in [why a tweet says this post is unavailable](/blog/x-guides/post-unavailable/). If the script is blocked by a content security policy or a privacy plugin, allow `platform.twitter.com`.

## Embed or Screenshot?

**Embed a tweet when you want a live, credited post; use a screenshot when you need a permanent copy that survives deletion.** For posts likely to be deleted, keep both: embed the live post and archive a copy, as shown in [how to find deleted tweets](/blog/x-guides/find-deleted-tweets/).

## How Do You Show Many Tweets on a Page?

**For many posts, such as a wall of customer praise, collect them as data first and pick the ones to embed.** apidojo’s [Tweet Scraper V2](https://apify.com/apidojo/tweet-scraper) on Apify returns each post’s `url`, which is all the embed code needs, from a search such as `"brand name" min_faves:20 -from:brand` (Apify). It costs $0.40 per 1,000 tweets; see the [apidojo Twitter Scraper](/scrapers/twitter-scraper/).

## Questions people ask

### Can you embed a tweet from a private account?

No, only public posts can be embedded.

### Do embedded tweets slow down a page?

The script loads asynchronously, but many embeds on one page add weight; embed only the posts you need.

### Is embedding a tweet allowed?

Yes, X provides the embed tool for that purpose, and the embed keeps the author's credit and link.
