Only an API key is required. The default response contains `screen_name` and five boolean/null flags: `true` means suspected restriction, `false` means no evidence in the checks performed, and `null` means inconclusive or skipped. Set `details: true` to add the complete evidence under `data.details` without changing the compact fields. Reply checks are enabled by default and sample up to two original replies to other accounts from the last seven days. A reply must actually be found behind an explicit folded-replies cursor, such as Show probable spam, before suspecting Reply Deboosting. Ghost Ban requires an accessible parent, completed conversation traversal, and direct verification that the reply still exists. Incomplete pagination, inaccessible parents, absent samples and malformed placement are inconclusive. Account search checks People results rather than search suggestions. These are observations from one query account, not confirmation of X internal enforcement or account-wide visibility. ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "success", "data": { "screen_name": "example_user", "shadow_ban": false, "account_search_ban": false, "search_ban": false, "ghost_ban": false, "reply_deboosting": false } } ```
