X (Twitter) List Search Scraper & Finder

Find public X / Twitter Lists for any topic, industry, or niche. Enter keywords such as AI, climate tech, or venture capital, and the Actor saves matching Lists together with audience sizes and creator profiles.

Use it to discover curated communities without searching X manually. No X login, cookies, API key, or proxy setup is required.

Why use this X List finder?

• Search up to 25 topics in one run.
• Save up to 1,000 matching Lists for each search.
• Compare List size, popularity, and creator reach.
• Filter out Lists that do not match your research goals.
• Export results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.
• Run manually, on a schedule, through the Apify API, or with integrations.

How to search X Lists

1. Enter one or more topics in Search keywords.
2. Choose the maximum number of Lists per search.
3. Keep the default filters to collect every available result, or narrow the results by List size, subscribers, description, creator followers, or verification.
4. Click Start and open the Output tab when the run finishes.

The prefilled AI example is ready to run. Each keyword is searched separately, so a limit of 100 with two keywords can save up to 200 Lists.

What data can you collect?

Each result contains useful information about the List and the account that created it.

List details

• List ID, name, description, creation date, and visibility.
• Number of members and subscribers.
• List banner image when available.
• The keyword that produced the result.

List creator profile

• User ID, username, display name, bio, location, and website.
• Followers, following, posts, media posts, and likes.
• Blue, Business, Government, and other verification signals returned by X.
• Avatar, profile banner, professional category, and affiliation details when available.

Search and filter options

Option	What it does
Search keywords	Enter up to 25 topics, one per line. Blank and repeated entries are ignored.
Lists per search	Save from 1 to 1,000 matching Lists for each keyword.
Owner verification or badge	Keep all creators, verified creators, Blue-verified creators, Business accounts, Government accounts, or unverified accounts.
Minimum List members	Keep Lists with at least this many members.
Maximum List members	Keep Lists with no more than this many members. Use 0 for no maximum.
Minimum List subscribers	Keep Lists followed by at least this many people.
Only Lists with a description	Exclude Lists with an empty description.
Minimum owner followers	Keep Lists created by accounts with at least this many followers.

All selected filters work together. X may return fewer Lists than the requested maximum, especially for narrow searches or strict filters.

Use with AI assistants via MCP

You can search X Lists from ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or another MCP-compatible assistant using the Apify MCP server. Add this Actor-specific URL as a remote MCP server in your assistant:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=arjun_code/x-twitter-list-search-scraper

Sign in to your Apify account when prompted. In ChatGPT, add the URL under Settings → Apps & Connectors → Create and choose OAuth authentication. For other assistants, use their MCP server settings or the Apify MCP configurator for client-specific instructions.

Then try this prompt:

Run arjun_code/x-twitter-list-search-scraper to find up to 50 public X Lists about AI agents. Keep Lists with at least 100 members. Read the results and show each List's name, member and subscriber counts, and owner username.

Runs started through MCP use the same Actor pricing as runs started in Apify Console. See the Apify MCP setup guide for more connection options.

Pricing

You pay only for the run start and Lists successfully saved to the Dataset.

Charge	Price
Actor start at the default 512 MB memory	$0.00005 per run
Saved List on the Free plan	$0.00050 each
Saved List on Bronze	$0.00046 each
Saved List on Silver	$0.00042 each
Saved List on Gold or higher	$0.00038 each

For example, 1,000 saved Lists cost $0.50 on the Free plan, plus the small start fee. Empty searches, invalid inputs, duplicate results, and status messages do not create a result charge. Use Maximum cost per run in Apify to set a spending limit. The Pricing tab is the current source of truth if prices change.

Good to know

• Results reflect the public Lists X currently surfaces for each keyword; they are not a complete directory of every List on X.
• The same List may appear under different keywords so you can see which search produced it.
• Private or unavailable information cannot be collected.
• This Actor finds Lists and their creators. It does not download every member, subscriber, or post inside a List.
• If a search has no matches, the Output includes a clear message instead of failing the whole run.

To collect the members or subscribers of a discovered List, use X / Twitter Lists Scraper.
