## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

## Twitter Tweet Scraper

What does Twitter Tweet Scraper do?
Twitter Tweet Scraper extracts details from a Twitter/X post URL using an authenticated session. It is useful for post analysis, engagement tracking, and repeatable tweet-level enrichment workflows.

Built on the Apify platform, this Actor supports scheduling, webhooks, and dataset exports.

Why use Twitter Tweet Scraper?
- Post analysis - Collect tweet content, media, metrics, and account context in one run
- Engagement research - Review replies, reposts, quotes, views, and other tweet signals
- Operational visibility - Track extraction results in Apify datasets

How to use Twitter Tweet Scraper
1. Open the Actor on Apify
2. Enter the Twitter/X post URL and required authenticated session inputs
3. Start the run
4. Review the dataset output for extracted tweet details

Input
This Actor accepts the fields required to extract a Twitter/X post through an authenticated session.

Proxy object
Use the proxy object to define how requests should be routed. Common fields are:

- `ip` - Proxy host or endpoint URL
- `port` - Proxy port
- `username` - Proxy username
- `password` - Proxy password

```json
{
  "twPostUrl": "https://x.com/example/status/1234567890",
  "auth_token": "example_auth_token",
  "ct0": "example_ct0",
  "kdt": "example_kdt",
