⬆️ Output

You get one row per tweet (type is tweet) and one row per account (type is profile). The Tweets and Profiles tabs in Apify Console show each kind as its own table. A real tweet row:

{
  "type": "tweet",
  "id": "2100334792646549729",
  "url": "https://x.com/SpaceX/status/2100334792646549729",
  "text": "A fully and rapidly reusable rocket will fundamentally change how humanity accesses outer space. “The Holy Grail of Rocketry” continues the ongoing Starship series ...",
  "createdAt": "2026-09-16T21:23:31Z",
  "lang": "en",
  "authorUsername": "SpaceX",
  "authorName": "SpaceX",
  "authorFollowers": 41903864,
  "views": 8092048,
  "likes": 23423,
  "retweets": 4207,
  "replies": 1112,
  "quotes": 914,
  "bookmarks": 7350,
  "isRetweet": false,
  "isPinned": true,
  "media": [
    {
      "type": "video",
      "url": "https://pbs.twimg.com/amplify_video_thumb/2100330249003089920/img/vlDpAQ6CWxoppsYb.jpg",
      "videoUrl": "https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/2100330249003089920/vid/avc1/3840x2160/pNR-omLIRUcUr71-.mp4?tag=29",
      "durationMs": 1709290
    }
  ],
  "feed": "latest",
  "fetchedAt": "2026-09-25T00:49:09Z"
}

A profile row has username, name, description, location, website, createdAt (when the account was made), followers, following, tweets, mediaCount, isBlueVerified, verifiedType, profileImageUrl and bannerUrl. Each run also saves a short report listing any account it could not scrape and why (for example, a suspended or mistyped username).

How can I use X (Twitter) profile data?

• Competitor monitoring: see what competitors post and which tweets get the most views and likes
• Influencer research: check an account's real engagement before you work with it
• Brand and news tracking: collect every tweet from official accounts, newsrooms or public figures
• Content analysis and AI: build tweet datasets for sentiment, topic or trend analysis
• Archiving: keep a copy of an account's tweets with their media links

How to track new tweets from an account

1. Set Tweets posted after to the date of your last run (or leave Tweets per profile small, like 20).
2. Schedule the actor to run every hour or every day.
3. Send the new tweets to Slack, email or a spreadsheet with an integration.

Real-time X (Twitter) profile API

Need tweets right away inside your app? Call the actor's API and get the rows back in the response, without starting a run:

GET https://<your-actor-standby-url>/profile?username=NASA&tweets=20
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>

You can also run the actor from your own code with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("automly/x-twitter-profile-tweets-scraper").call(run_input={
    "profiles": ["NASA"],
    "tweetsPerProfile": 100,
})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    if row["type"] == "tweet":
        print(row["createdAt"], row["views"], row["text"][:80])

❓FAQ

How much does it cost to scrape X (Twitter) profiles?

You pay only for the results you get, per 1,000 rows. See the Pricing tab for the current price. Every Apify account gets $5 of free usage each month, so you can try it at no cost.

How many tweets can I get from one account?

Up to about the latest 800 tweets of an account, which is what X shows to visitors who are not logged in. Most accounts reach back several months to a year. The profile row's tweets field shows the account's full tweet count.

Why do some accounts return older tweets marked "mostLiked"?

For some very popular accounts (for example elonmusk, nytimes or Reuters), X shows logged-out visitors only their 5 newest tweets plus their most-liked tweets of all time. For those accounts you get the newest tweets first (feed is latest), then up to 100 most-liked tweets (feed is mostLiked).

Does it include replies?

It includes tweets, reposts and quote tweets, as shown on the profile. Replies the account wrote to other people's tweets are not included.

Do I need an X account?

No. You don't need an X account, cookies or an API key.

Can I scrape protected (private) accounts?

No. Only public tweets can be scraped; a protected account's tweets are skipped. Suspended or mistyped usernames are listed in the run report.

Is it legal to scrape X (Twitter)?

This scraper only collects tweets and profile information that people chose to make public. It does not collect private data such as email addresses or phone numbers. Tweets can still contain personal data, which may be protected by laws such as GDPR, so only scrape it for a legitimate reason and ask a lawyer if you are unsure. You can read more in Is web scraping legal?
