To put a Twitter timeline widget within an iframe, you will first need to create the widget on the Twitter website. Once you have generated the widget code, you can then embed it within an iframe on your website.


Here is how you can put a Twitter timeline widget within an iframe:

  1. Go to the Twitter website and log in to your account.
  2. Navigate to the Twitter widget creation page by clicking on your profile picture, selecting "Settings and privacy," then selecting "Widgets" from the menu on the left.
  3. Click on the "Create new" button to create a new widget.
  4. Customize your Twitter timeline widget by selecting the type of timeline you want to display (user timeline, likes, list, search), adjusting the appearance settings, and copying the widget code provided.
  5. Open your website's HTML file where you want to insert the Twitter timeline widget.
  6. Add an iframe element to your HTML file:
1
<iframe src="URL_TO_TWITTER_WIDGET" width="300" height="400"></iframe>


  1. Replace "URL_TO_TWITTER_WIDGET" with the URL of the widget code you copied from Twitter in step 4.
  2. Adjust the width and height of the iframe element to fit the dimensions of your Twitter timeline widget.
  3. Save and upload your HTML file to your website.


Your Twitter timeline widget should now be embedded within an iframe on your website. Users will be able to view the latest tweets from your Twitter account or search results directly on your website.
