Twitter Mutes

<!-- MANUAL: file_description -->

Blocks for managing muted users on Twitter/X.

Twitter Get Muted Users

What it is

This block gets a list of users muted by the authenticating user.

How it works

<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->

This block connects to the Twitter API v2 via Tweepy to retrieve all users that the authenticated account has muted. It uses OAuth 2.0 authentication with appropriate scopes and returns paginated results with user IDs, usernames, and optional expanded data.

The mute list is returned in batches (default 100, up to 1,000 per page), with pagination tokens for navigating large lists. Unlike blocking, muted users can still see and interact with your content—they're simply hidden from your timeline.

<!-- END MANUAL -->

Twitter Mute User

What it is

This block mutes a specified Twitter user.

How it works

<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->

This block sends a mute request to the Twitter API v2 for a specified user ID. The authenticated user will no longer see tweets from the muted account in their timeline, but the muted user is not notified and can still view and interact with your content.

The mute action is performed using Tweepy's client interface with OAuth 2.0 authentication. The block returns a success indicator confirming whether the mute was applied.

<!-- END MANUAL -->

Inputs

Input	Description	Type	Required
target_user_id	The user ID of the user that you would like to mute	str	Yes

Outputs

Output	Description	Type
error	Error message if the operation failed	str
success	Whether the mute action was successful	bool

Possible use case

<!-- MANUAL: use_case -->

Automated Filtering: Mute accounts that post frequently about topics you want to temporarily avoid without unfollowing.

Event Management: Mute accounts live-tweeting events you can't attend to avoid spoilers.

Conversation Management: Mute accounts during heated discussions without blocking them permanently.

<!-- END MANUAL -->

Twitter Unmute User

What it is

This block unmutes a specified Twitter user.

How it works

<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->

This block sends an unmute request to the Twitter API v2 for a specified user ID. Once unmuted, tweets from that account will appear in your timeline again as normal.

The unmute action uses Tweepy's client interface with OAuth 2.0 authentication. The block returns a success indicator confirming whether the mute was removed.

<!-- END MANUAL -->

Inputs

Input	Description	Type	Required
target_user_id	The user ID of the user that you would like to unmute	str	Yes

Outputs

Output	Description	Type
error	Error message if the operation failed	str
success	Whether the unmute action was successful	bool

Possible use case

<!-- MANUAL: use_case -->

Relationship Repair: Restore visibility of accounts after cooling-off periods from disagreements.
