We believe that our scrapers, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so.

Do I need a Twitter API Key?

No! This Actor handles all the authentication and scraping logic for you. You just need an Apify account.

Why are the results sorted differently than I see on the web?
