❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need a Twitter API key or account?

A: No, you do not need any credentials. The actor runs entirely using internal API key.

Q: Can I fetch replies that are not part of the sequential thread?

A: This actor is designed specifically to read consecutive thread responses from the author and direct thread flow. To scrape all replies of a tweet regardless of who wrote them, use the Twitter X Recent Replies Scraper.

Q: How does the maxPages parameter work?

A: Twitter returns replies in pages. Setting a higher maxPages value will make the scraper request more pages of replies. Each page requires one API call.
