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 ## Create Tweet - Post to X / Twitter (GetXAPI) Post **tweets to X (Twitter) programmatically** - text, media, replies, quotes, threads and Community posts - powered by [GetXAPI](https://www.getxapi.com). No OAuth app, no developer account, no rate-limit headaches. Just provide the **`auth_token`** of the X account you want to post from, plus your tweet text - the Actor does the rest. ### What it does - ✍️ **Post a tweet** with custom text - 💬 **Reply** to any tweet (`replyToTweetId`) - 🔁 **Quote** a tweet (`quoteTweetUrl` / `quoteTweetId`) - 🖼️ **Attach media** from URLs, pre-uploaded IDs, or inline base64 - 👥 **Post to a Community** (`communityId`) ### Input | Field | Required | Description | |-------|----------|-------------| | `authToken` | ✅ | The `auth_token` cookie of the X account to post from. | | `text` | ✅ | The tweet text. | | `replyToTweetId` | - | Post as a reply to this tweet ID. | | `quoteTweetUrl` / `quoteTweetId` | - | Quote a tweet by URL (faster) or ID. | | `mediaUrls` | - | List of image/video URLs to attach (up to 4 images, or 1 video/GIF). | | `mediaIds` | - | Pre-uploaded media IDs. | | `media` | - | Inline base64 media: `[{ "data": "", "type": "image/png" }]`. | | `verifyPremium` | - | For long videos (>2:20), verify the account is on X Premium first. | | `communityId` | - | Numeric X Community ID to post into. | | `ct0`, `twid` | - | Optional cookies; if both are set, internal credential resolution is skipped. | | `proxy` | - | Optional proxy, e.g. `http://user:pass@host:port`. | ### Output The Actor pushes one item to the dataset: ```json { "ok": true, "id": "2022330345463706058", "text": "Hello from GetXAPI 👋", "createdAt": "Thu Feb 13 15:10:29 +0000 2026", "url": "https://x.com/i/web/status/2022330345463706058" } ```` ### Pricing You pay a small fee **per tweet successfully posted** - no subscription, no developer account. ### Powered by GetXAPI The cheapest Twitter (X) API. Build your own integrations at **[www.getxapi.com](https://www.getxapi.com)** - from **$0.001 per call**, with **$0.1 in free credits** to start. # Actor input Schema ## `authToken` (type: `string`): The auth\_token cookie of the X account you want to post from. Find it in your browser cookies for x.com after logging in. ## `text` (type: `string`): The text content of the tweet. ## `replyToTweetId` (type: `string`): Optional. If set, this tweet is posted as a reply to the given tweet ID. ## `quoteTweetUrl` (type: `string`): Optional. Full URL of a tweet to quote, e.g. https://x.com/user/status/123456. Faster than quoteTweetId. ## `quoteTweetId` (type: `string`): Optional. Tweet ID to quote - resolved to a URL automatically. Prefer quoteTweetUrl for faster requests. ## `mediaUrls` (type: `array`): Optional. Image/video URLs to attach. They are fetched and uploaded automatically. Up to 4 images, or 1 video/GIF. ## `mediaIds` (type: `array`): Optional. Media IDs already uploaded via /twitter/media/upload. ## `media` (type: `array`): Optional. Base64-encoded media to upload, as a list of objects: \[{"data": "", "type": "image/png"}]. type is the MIME type (e.g. image/png, video/mp4). ## `verifyPremium` (type: `boolean`): Optional. If true and a long video (>2:20) is detected, verify the account is on X Premium before uploading (returns 403 if not). ## `communityId` (type: `string`): Optional.
