X (Twitter) Retweeters & Quote Tweets Scraper

Export public profiles for people who reposted or quoted one or more X (Twitter) posts. Enter post URLs or numeric IDs, choose retweeters, quote-tweet authors, or both, and download structured results as JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS.

No X login, cookies, API key, or proxy configuration is required from the user.

What this Actor collects

• Visible retweeters from X's native Retweeters timeline.
• Authors of visible quote tweets, including quote-post text, timestamps, language, engagement counts, views, entities, and available media metadata.
• Usernames, display names, bios, locations, profile links, avatars, and banners.
• Follower, following, post, media, and like counts.
• Verification, professional categories, account labels, affiliations, and profile flags.
• The original X user object when includeRawUser is enabled.

The Actor follows pagination automatically, removes duplicate users within each source post and engagement type, and stores every completed page immediately.

Use cases

• Measure who amplified a campaign, announcement, or product launch.
• Find creators, customers, community members, and potential leads engaging with a post.
• Review the people and commentary behind quote-tweet activity.
• Enrich public account lists with audience, verification, professional, and affiliation data.
• Export engagement data into spreadsheets, CRMs, dashboards, or automated workflows.

How to use it

1. Add up to 50 unique X post URLs or numeric post IDs.
2. Choose Retweeters only, Quote-tweet authors only, or Retweeters and quote-tweet authors.
3. Set the per-post result limits and click Start.

The default limits return up to 100 retweeters and 100 quote users per source post. Set a limit to 0 only when you want every cursor page currently exposed by X.

Input

Field	Description	Default
tweets	Up to 50 unique numeric post IDs or full x.com / twitter.com status URLs. Duplicate post IDs are requested once; invalid values are reported without blocking valid posts.	Required
resultType	retweeters, quote_users, or both.	retweeters
maxRetweetersPerTweet	Maximum unique retweeters per source post. Use 0 for all exposed pages.	100
maxQuoteUsersPerTweet	Maximum unique quote users per source post. Use 0 for all exposed pages.	100
includeRawUser	Adds the complete native X user object as raw_user.	false

Example input

{
  "tweets": [
    "https://x.com/SpaceX/status/2099211149476569207"
  ],
  "resultType": "both",
  "maxRetweetersPerTweet": 2,
  "maxQuoteUsersPerTweet": 2,
  "includeRawUser": false
}

Posts are processed sequentially. Each run accepts up to 50 unique post IDs after equivalent URLs and duplicate IDs are normalized. Split larger batches across multiple runs. More posts and larger per-post limits increase runtime and cost.

Output

Each successful Dataset item represents one visible engagement user:

• engagement_type: "retweet" — the user appeared in X's Retweeters timeline.
• engagement_type: "quote" — the user authored a visible post quoting the source post.

Quote results also contain the quote-post ID, URL, text, timestamp, language, engagement counts, view count, entities, sensitivity flag, and available media metadata. Core values are flat for straightforward filtering and CSV/Excel exports; quote_media is an array because one quote post can contain multiple media items.

All quote_*_count values describe engagement on the quote post itself, not on the original source post. For example, quote_retweet_count is how many times that quote post was retweeted.

The Overview Dataset view emphasizes identity, audience metrics, quote context, and clickable links. Use Detailed for the complete normalized schema and Apify's built-in All fields view for the raw Dataset record.

Diagnostic rows use one of these statuses:

• invalid_input — the submitted value is not a numeric post ID or supported X / Twitter status URL; other valid inputs continue normally.
• not_found — the source post was deleted, unavailable, or does not exist.
• no_results — the source post exists, but X returned no visible users for that engagement type.
• partial — earlier pages were stored before a later request failed.
• request_failed — the request failed before a user result was stored.
• charge_limit_reached — the run stopped at the user's maximum cost setting.

Diagnostic rows are not charged as user results.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. A successfully stored retweeter produces one retweeter-result event. A successfully stored quote-tweet author, including the visible quote-post context, produces one quote-user-result event.

Apify plan	Retweeter / result	Retweeters / 1,000	Quote author / result	Quote authors / 1,000
Free	$0.00050	$0.50	$0.00100	$1.00
Bronze	$0.00040	$0.40	$0.00080	$0.80
Silver	$0.00030	$0.30	$0.00070	$0.70
Gold, Platinum, and Diamond	$0.00025	$0.25	$0.00060	$0.60

An apify-actor-start event costs $0.00005 per run. On the Free tier, 100 retweeters cost approximately $0.05005, 100 quote-tweet authors cost approximately $0.10005, and 100 of each cost approximately $0.15005, including the single start event. No result event is charged for no_results, failure, partial-status, or charge-limit status rows. Platform usage is included in the configured event prices.

Use Apify's Maximum cost per run setting to control spending. Once that limit is reached, the Actor stores only the affordable result prefix and stops before requesting another page or processing another source post.

Pagination and reliability

Every page is attempted up to five times. Temporary connection and X server errors refresh the request route; authentication and rate-limit responses switch to another healthy route and retry the same cursor.

Retweeter pagination uses X's non-ranked mode to avoid the duplicate second pass observed with ranked results. Quote search verifies each result against the requested source post so unrelated search entries are excluded. Pagination stops when X returns no exact matches, repeats a cursor, reaches the requested result limit, or reaches the run's maximum cost.

Results are deduplicated by user ID separately for each source post and engagement type. In both mode, someone who both reposted and quoted the source post can appear twice—once as retweet and once as quote.

Completed pages remain in the Dataset when a later page fails. A run with partial results finishes successfully and reports the affected engagement flow. If no user result is stored and a technical request fails, the run ends as failed instead of reporting a misleading success.

Availability and result limits

X may expose fewer profiles than the repost or quote count displayed on the post. Deleted, protected, suspended, withheld, restricted, or otherwise unavailable accounts are not returned as successful rows.

When an engagement search returns no users, the Actor verifies the source post. This distinguishes an existing post with no visible engagement (no_results) from a missing or unavailable post (not_found).

Quote users come from X's native Top search timeline. The result is not guaranteed to contain every quote tweet X displays. One user is returned once per source post; if the same user authored multiple visible quote tweets, the first matching quote encountered is retained.

FAQ

Why is the result count lower than the number shown on X?

X does not always expose every engager through its timelines. Deleted, private, suspended, withheld, and otherwise unavailable accounts can also reduce the visible count.

Are quote-tweet results exhaustive?

No. Quote users are collected from X's native Top search timeline. The Actor filters that timeline precisely and follows every cursor X returns, but it cannot return results X does not expose through search.

Can one person appear more than once?

Within one source post and engagement type, no. In both mode, the same person may appear once as a retweeter and once as a quote-tweet author because those are different actions.

Do I need my own X account or proxy?

No. Users do not provide X credentials, cookies, API keys, or proxy settings.

What happens when a request fails during pagination?

Already stored pages remain available. The Dataset receives a clear partial or failure status row. A complete technical failure causes the run itself to fail.
