## 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.

---

### 🚀 Key Features

1. **Direct Markdown Rendering:** Seamlessly converts your standard Markdown format (headings, bold text, bullet points, links) into fully formatted X Articles.
2. **No Twitter API Required:** Operates via account session cookies, saving you from complex approval processes and costly official API tiers.
3. **Visibility Control:** Fully supports setting article visibility to Public, Followers, or Mentioned users directly from the input.
4. **Built for Automation & AI Agents:** Easily integrate this Actor into your existing tech stack, CI/CD pipelines, Make/Zapier workflows, or LLM-based autonomous agents.

### ⚙️ Input Parameters

| Field | Type | Required / Default | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `cookie` | String | **Required** | Twitter cookie string (e.g., `auth_token=...; ct0=...; twid=...`). Used to authorize the actor with X. |
| `title` | String | **Required** | The main headline/title for your X Article. |

  "tweet_id": "1895304731554627584"
}

### 🛠️ Quick Start

2. **Set up Input:** Paste your cookie string into the `cookie` field, write your `title`, and add your article body in the `markdown` field.
