Every brand should want to embed Twitter feed on website pages (nowadays known as X) to enhance their user engagement and promote their online presence.

Plus, embedding your Twitter feed (or X timeline) on your website is a simple way to keep content fresh, build trust, and drive more interaction.

So, you see, by adding Twitter feed to website pages, you’ll start being more competitive in today’s digital world, regardless of the method you use for that.

Thankfully, I tell you all about the Twitter embed timeline process via the platform’s native tools, as well as other (and better) third-party widget plugins like EmbedSocial.

Brands, creators, and businesses, watch this video, then keep reading on:

Best method: Embed X feed on website via third-party widgets!

By far the easiest and quickest method to embed Twitter timeline, hashtags, mentions, and keywords is to use a third-party social media aggregator designed for that purpose.

For instance, EmbedSocial has a coding-free tool that can collect ALL your X (Twitter) content and display it in customizable Twitter widgets anywhere you’d like.

However, before you proceed further, you must create your EmbedSocial account. Then, you can proceed with the following steps to embed your Twitter timeline:

1. Describe your X (Twitter) website widget
2. Connect your Twitter social media source
3. Choose a Twitter widget template
4. Customize your X (Twitter) widget
5. Copy the embeddable widget code
6. Paste the code in your website

Before following the steps above, note that you must get an API key from X (Twitter) if you are looking to collect and embed anything other than your X account timeline. This includes, X (Twitter) hashtags, mentions, and keywords.

Moreover, we only offer X (Twitter) as a source in our EmbedSocial Premium plan and above. You can easily apply for the X Basic API access level and generate your API key. Then, you can contact our support team to connect it to EmbedSocial.

Step 1: Describe your X (Twitter) website widget

First things first, you can provide a detailed description for your perfect X (Twitter) website widget via our AI widget editor. Then, you just press ‘Generate’ to spend one credit to create the widget:

Step 2: Connect your Twitter social media source

Then, you must connect your X (Twitter) social media account so EmbedSocial can pull all your account content. You do that via the ‘Sources’ tab at the top:

You should select your specific Twitter handle or source after connecting your account.

Step 3: Choose a Twitter widget template

Next up, you can choose one of our ready-to-go templates. We also offer X (Twitter) AI-based widget templates, which you can continue customizing via prompts afterwards:

Step 4: Customize your X (Twitter) widget

All you need to do to customize your new Twitter website widget is describe the change you would like to see in the website widget template, such as: “Change the color of the boxes to black.”:

Step 5: Copy the embeddable widget code

Once you are done with everything, just navigate to the ‘Embed’ tab (top-left corner), press the ‘Copy code’ button, and head on over to your website builder:

Step 6: Paste the code in your website

The last step involves adding an empty HTML box, copying the widget code, and saving the page. Here’s how to do that across all popular website builders:

Remember: Due to significant Twitter API changes in 2023, you can embed X (Twitter) timeline only via the Premium EmbedSocial plan. Whereas, to add a hashtag, mentions, or keywords-based Twitter feed embed, you’ll need an Enterprise plan. Check out our pricing model.

Demo showcase: Embedded Twitter feed

Here’s what your Twitter timeline embed can look like on your website:

(function(d, s, id){var js; if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;} js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “/cdn/ht.js”; d.getElementsByTagName(“head”)[0].appendChild(js);}(document, “script”, “EmbedSocialHashtagScript”));

Native option: How to embed Twitter feed manually?

X (formerly Twitter) offers its users an official method to embed X feed widgets based on profile posts or public lists, which comes with its own limitations.

For instance, you can only embed X content from public posts. Therefore, posts from protected accounts are not compatible with this method.

The process to embed Twitter timeline via this method includes a few steps:

Step 1: Navigate to Twitter’s ‘Publish’ website

First, you have to navigate to the Twitter Publish website:

Step 2: Provide your X URL

Copy and paste the URL of the X post you want to embed in the empty field. You can provide a link to a single post, a profile, a handle, or a hashtag:

Step 3: Do basic customizations of your design

Choose your widget display, its color theme (light or dark), the display language, and whether or not it will hide public conversations:

Step 4: Copy the widget code

Once you are done, simply code the embeddable code:

Step 5: Paste the code into your website builder

Last but not least, you have to do the same step outlined above, i.e., pasting the code in the website builder of your choice in an empty HTML element:

That’s how you embed X timeline feed via the native option. That said, below, we compare both the third-party complete solution and the barebones native option.

Note: Twitter Publish allows you to embed four different types of widgets depending on the content that you want to showcase:

X Publish vs. Twitter aggregator: Pros & cons

As I told you before, the native option offered by X (Twitter) to display your content from the X platform has some limitations. For instance, it only pulls the latest 20 posts from your account.

Conversely, a third-party tool like EmbedSocial allows you to embed social media posts from X using a tailor-made widget without any limitations in terms of content.

Here’s the lowdown on both methods:

With the manual option provided by X (Twitter), here’s what to expect:

• Usage: Embed a Tweet or a profile
• Price: Free
• Customizations: Only size
