🚀 How to scrape Stocktwits (Apify Console)

1. Open Stocktwits Scraper in Apify Console
2. Choose a Scraping mode — symbol, user, trending messages, or trending symbols
3. Add tickers (e.g. AAPL, TSLA, BTC.X) or usernames — bulk paste supported
4. Set Max messages, optional sentiment / engagement filters, and monitor mode if needed
5. Click Start and follow live progress in the log
6. Open Output, switch views, and export JSON / CSV / Excel / XML — or pull via API

💡 Tip: crypto needs the .X suffix (BTC.X). A bare BTC is a different instrument — this crypto ticker scraper never guesses it for you.

❓ FAQ

Does it work for crypto tickers?

Yes — use the .X suffix: BTC.X, ETH.X, SOL.X. That keeps this crypto ticker scraper aligned with Stocktwits’ own symbols.

Why is sentiment null for some messages?

Sentiment is user-tagged. Many posts have no Bullish / Bearish label — that is normal for retail investor sentiment data.

Why did I get zero results?

Check ticker format (crypto needs .X), confirm the symbol or username exists, or try trending-symbols mode to discover active tickers for your stock chatter scraper workflow.

Can I only fetch new messages on a schedule?

Yes. Turn on Monitor mode and use Apify Schedules — a standing Stocktwits monitor without re-scraping old posts.

Can I get results in Python or JavaScript?

Yes. Use the Apify API / SDKs to pull Stocktwits data into Python, Node.js, or any HTTP client — the same pattern as calling a lightweight Stocktwits API.

Is scraping Stocktwits allowed for research?

This Actor collects only publicly available content. Use the data responsibly and in line with Stocktwits’ terms and applicable laws. For compliance questions on a custom deployment, contact hello.insights.data@gmail.com.
