## FAQ

### What data can I get from public AI developer communities on X?

The AI developer posts task returns public posts with text, authors, dates, engagement counts, feeds and URLs, plus community details and rules when enabled.

### How many AI developer community posts can one run return?

The AI developer posts task is capped at 50 posts per community for this setup. X exposes roughly 1–66 unique public posts per community, typically 20–66, so the cap is an upper bound.

### Why might I get fewer than 50 posts from an X community?

The AI developer posts task can return fewer because X exposes only ranked and media slices to logged-out visitors, with no working public cursor; filters can reduce results further.

### What does the community information include?

With community details enabled, the AI developer posts task can include the community name, description, member count, creation date, banner, topic, join policy and rules.

### Can I download X community posts as CSV or Excel?

Results from the AI developer posts task land in an Apify dataset that you can download as CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, RSS or an HTML table, or access through the API.

### How much does it cost to collect 50 X community posts?

For the AI developer posts task, up to 50 results cost at most $0.05 in result charges on the Free plan, plus the Actor start event and Apify compute usage.

### Can I schedule X community post collection or run it through an API?

You can schedule the AI developer posts task with Apify Schedules, run it through the Apify API, or use integrations such as Zapier, Make and n8n.

## About this Actor

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/dataspryva/x-community-activity-and-member-finder.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
