FAQ

Do I need an X account or API keys? No. The Actor reads the public data X serves for embedded tweets.

Can it search tweets or list a user's timeline? No, it works with tweet URLs or IDs. X does not serve searches or timelines without login.

Why are retweets and views missing? X does not include them in the public embed data.

Where is the data stored between runs? In a Key-Value Store of your account named micro-saas-state-x-tweet-scraper, one key per tweet.
