## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Actor mẫu — Free token pool + actor Store

Gọi **bất kỳ actor free** trên Apify Store; **token** lấy từ Google Doc (xoay khi hết quota). Form **Input** clone từ actor gốc — **không sửa code** khi đổi actor.

Chi tiết nhân bản: **[CLONE.md](./CLONE.md)**

### Nhân bản nhanh

```bash
## 1 lần
apify secrets add GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT '{"type":"service_account",...}'
apify login

## Mỗi actor Store mới — chỉ 1 lệnh (+ apify push)
npm run setup -- clockworks~tiktok-comments-scraper
apify push
````

Sửa tay tối thiểu: `template.config.json` → `targetActorId`.

### Cách hoạt động

```
Input (form clone từ Store) → Actor proxy → API + token từ Google Doc → Actor Store → Dataset
```

- Token: Google Doc `KEY`, mỗi dòng `apify_api_...`
- Hết free: thử dòng tiếp theo
- Config: `template.config.json` + secret `GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT`

### File quan trọng

| File | Khi clone |
|------|-----------|
| `template.config.json` | Đổi `targetActorId` |
| `npm run setup -- user~actor` | Tự cập nhật input schema + actor.json |
| `src/*` | **Không sửa** |
| Google Doc | Thêm/bớt token (không push) |

### Test local

`input.json` — field theo actor vừa `setup` (xem `.actor/input_schema.json`).

```bash
set GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT={"type":"service_account",...}
npm start
```

# Actor input Schema

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

If you add search terms, the scraper will find and extract tweets that mention those terms. Alternatively, see further down to scrape by Twitter URL.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Sorts search results. If you are getting low results, try Top instead of Latest. Latest + Top runs both simultaneously to maximize results but may return some duplicate tweets.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

This value lets you set the maximum number of tweets to retrieve. Twitter has a default limit of around 800 tweets per query. Check the README for workarounds.

## `start` (type: `string`):

Scrape tweets starting from this date

## `end` (type: `string`):

Scrape tweets until this date

## `twitterHandles` (type: `array`):

You can add the twitter handles of specific profiles you want to scrape. This is a shortcut so that you don't have to add full username URLs like https://twitter.com/apify

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

This lets you tell the scraper where to start. You can enter Twitter URLs one by one. You can also link to or upload a text file with a list of URLs

## `includeSearchTerms` (type: `boolean`):

If selected, a field will be added to each tweets about the search term that was used to find it.

## Actor input object example

```json
{}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("emt_getdataforu/twitter-scraper-lite").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("emt_getdataforu/twitter-scraper-lite").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
