❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I scrape Twitter / X without an API key?

Yes. This Actor operates completely independently of the official Twitter API. You do not need developer accounts, API credentials, or authentication tokens.

Can I export scraped tweets directly to Excel or CSV?

Yes. Once the run finishes, navigate to the Dataset tab in Apify Console to download your data in Excel (XLSX), CSV, JSON, XML, RSS, or HTML Table formats.

How do I scrape unlimited tweets?

On a paid Apify subscription or self-hosted ConeLabs instance, set maxItems to 0. The scraper will paginate through the user's entire timeline without arbitrary ceilings.

Can this scraper access private or protected Twitter accounts?

No. Like all compliant web scrapers, only public Twitter profiles, public tweets, and public media can be extracted. Protected or private accounts are inaccessible.

Does it work with Twitter's new X.com domains and formats?

Yes. The scraper seamlessly handles both x.com and twitter.com profile links, short URLs (t.co), and updated post formats.

Is web scraping legal?

Yes, scraping public information available on the internet is legal under international legal precedents (such as hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn), provided you respect privacy regulations (such as GDPR/CCPA) and terms regarding sensitive personal data. Always review Apify's Legal Guide to Web Scraping.
