Real-time X (Twitter) tweet API

Need tweet details 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>/tweet?url=https://x.com/NASA/status/2103243305685225779&url=2089386212691763632
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-tweet-scraper").call(run_input={
    "tweets": ["https://x.com/NASA/status/2103243305685225779"],
})
for tweet in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(tweet["views"], tweet["likes"], tweet["text"][:80])

Is there a minimum number of tweets?

No. You can look up a single tweet. You only pay for the tweets you get.

Why is a tweet missing from my results?

Deleted tweets, tweets from protected accounts, and tweets X marks as sensitive (which it only shows to logged-in users) can't be scraped. They are listed in the run report with the reason.

Do I need an X account?

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

Is it legal to scrape X (Twitter)?

This scraper only collects tweets that people chose to make public. It does not collect private data such as email addresses or phone numbers.
