## Pricing

from $0.30 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

# README

## Twitter Scraper: New Tweets From Any X Account, No Login

**Twitter Scraper** - Watch any public X accounts - no cookies, no account, no API bill. Get their new posts with likes and views since your last run.

### What does Twitter Scraper do?

No cookies or X account to feed it, it remembers what it already showed you, and it warns you when an account posted so much since the last run that a post could have slipped by - the popular tweet scrapers ask for your session cookies or charge per thousand tweets.

- No login, cookies or X account needed
- Marks each post new or seen since your last run, with an only-new switch
- Likes, reposts, replies, quotes, bookmarks and views on every post
- Warns when posts may have been missed so you can run it more often
- Optional keyword filter across all accounts

### Why this Twitter Scraper?

Cookie-based scrapers break when sessions expire or accounts get suspended. This Twitter Scraper checks every run and tells you plainly when a page could not be read, instead of returning empty or wrong rows.

### How to use Twitter Scraper

1. Press **Start** - the form already holds an example that works.
2. Put in your own input (see the fields on the Input tab).
3. Run it once, or put it on an **Apify Schedule** to get fresh rows every day.
4. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or send them to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, the Apify API or an AI agent (Apify MCP server).

#### Input example

```json
{
  "accounts": [
    "NASA",
    "elonmusk"
  ],
  "onlyNew": false,
  "maxItems": 10,
  "useApifyProxy": true
}
```

### How much does Twitter Scraper cost?

You pay only per result (pay per event) - no monthly fee, no minimum, and the price per result is lower on Apify's Bronze, Silver and Gold plans. The exact price is on the **Pricing** tab. Apify's free plan credit is enough to try it on real input.

### FAQ

**Does Twitter Scraper need a login, cookies or an API key?** No. It reads public pages only.

**Can I run Twitter Scraper on a schedule?** Yes - with Apify Schedules; each run returns fresh rows.

**Can I call it from Python, JavaScript or an AI agent?** Yes - through the Apify API, the Apify client libraries or the Apify MCP server.

**Is it legal?** It collects only data anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for using it within the source site's terms and data protection law (GDPR, CCPA).

**What if the site blocks a request?** The run retries from a fresh connection and, if it still cannot read the page, stops with a clear message - never with made-up rows.

## MCP server setup

        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
