Advanced X (Twitter) Profile Scraper

What does Advanced X (Twitter) Profile Scraper do?

Advanced X (Twitter) Profile Scraper extracts all tweets from any X (Twitter) profile — not just the most recent ones. It works as an unofficial X (Twitter) API alternative: give it one or more profile URLs and a date range, and it returns clean, structured tweet data with 39 fields per tweet, including text, media URLs, engagement metrics, and full author details.

Unlike simple timeline scrapers that only see a profile's latest posts, this Actor uses X's advanced search with date-range splitting to reach deep into a profile's history. It's fast, stable, and API-based (no slow browser rendering).

Why use Advanced X (Twitter) Profile Scraper?

• 🗓️ Go beyond the timeline — advanced search reaches older tweets that a plain profile scrape misses.
• 🎯 Precise date control — set an exact startDate and endDate; scrape a single day or years of history.
• 🔪 Deep-scrape splitting — split the range by day, week, or month to defeat X's search limits and capture the fullest history.
• 🖼️ Rich data — text (full length, even 280+ character long posts), image URLs, direct MP4 video URLs, hashtags, mentions, links, and complete engagement stats.
• 👤 Full author profile — name, handle, bio, followers, following, verification, profile image, and more on every row.
• 🌐 Language filter — target tweets in any of 40+ languages.
• ⚡ Fast & stable — direct API access, not browser automation.
• 📤 Ready to use — export to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML.

How to scrape an X (Twitter) profile

1. Open the Actor and click Try for free.
2. Add profile URLs — paste one or more X/Twitter profile URLs (e.g. https://x.com/NASA) into the Account URLs field.
3. Set the date range — choose your startDate and endDate (format YYYY-MM-DD).
4. Pick a split mode — use By day for the most thorough scrape, or By week / By month for faster runs over long ranges. Optionally set a Language filter.
5. Click Start, then download your tweets as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Storage tab.

How much does it cost?

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing — you pay only for the tweets you actually collect, with no monthly platform rental. Because it's API-based rather than browser-based, it runs cheaply and quickly.

You can try it for free on the Apify free plan — full features, up to 50 results per run (see below). To collect at scale with no limits, upgrade your Apify plan. See the Pricing section on this page for the current per-1,000-results rate.

💎 Free plan vs paid plan

The free plan gives you the full feature set (all filters, date-splitting, and every data field) — it's only capped on volume per run:

Limit	Free plan	Paid plan
Runs per day	Unlimited	Unlimited
Results per run	50 (shared across all account URLs)	Unlimited
Features (filters, date-split, all fields)	Full	Full
Multiple accounts per run	Capped by the 50-results total	Unlimited
Date range / split mode	Unlimited	Unlimited

To scrape more than 50 results per run, multiple accounts at full volume, or deep historical archives, upgrade your plan.

Tips

• Get the most complete history — for prolific accounts, X's search won't return everything in a wide date range. Use splitMode: "day" (or week) to break the job into smaller queries and maximize coverage.
• Control your result count — set maxCollections to cap tweets per profile and keep costs predictable.
• Scrape multiple profiles — on a paid plan, add many URLs to accountUrls in a single run.
• Automate it — schedule runs or connect the dataset to your app via the Apify API and integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, and more).

FAQ and support

Is it legal to scrape X (Twitter)?

Scraping publicly available data is generally legal. This Actor only collects data that any logged-out user can see. However, you are responsible for how you use the data.

Our Actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our Actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

Why don't I get every single tweet in a large date range?

X's search limits how many results it returns per query. Use splitMode: "day" or "week" to break the range into smaller segments and capture far more.

Can I scrape more than one profile at once?

Yes — add multiple URLs to accountUrls. On the free plan a run still returns up to 50 results total (shared across those URLs); upgrade to a paid plan for unlimited results per account.
