X (Twitter) Tweet Scraper API – Likes, Replies, Media, No Login

X Tweet Scraper & Twitter Video Downloader API: Likes, Replies, MP4 Links, No Login

Paste tweet links or IDs and get one clean row per tweet: text, likes, replies, author, photos, direct MP4 video download links in every quality, the quoted tweet, the tweet it replies to, link cards, polls and Community Notes. No X account, no cookies, no API key, no browser.

$0.09 per 1,000 tweets on the Bronze plan, and your first 500 tweets every month are free. Deleted, private and unsupported links are never charged. Each run has a $0.005 start fee, so put many links in one run. The prefilled run finishes in about 3 seconds.

Built for tweets you already know about. Typical uses: tracking likes and replies on campaign or influencer posts, checking a list of links from a spreadsheet, getting MP4 download links for X videos in bulk (tick Only tweets with a video and pay only for tweets that have one), archiving tweets with their media, or enriching tweet IDs from a research dataset. It does not search X and does not read profile timelines (X shows those only to logged-in users). See what it doesn't do.

Every link gets an answer. A link that has no data still gets a short, uncharged row, so a monitor can tell what disappeared:

status	Meaning	Charged
OK	tweet data	yes
NOT_FOUND	deleted, never existed, or from a protected account	no
UNAVAILABLE	X shows a notice instead, e.g. "This Post is from a suspended account"; the notice is in message	no
DUPLICATE	a retweet ID that resolves to a tweet already in the dataset	no
NO_VIDEO	no video or GIF in this tweet, while Only tweets with a video is on	no
PROFILE_NOT_SUPPORTED, SEARCH_NOT_SUPPORTED, NOT_A_TWEET_LINK	not a tweet link	no
NO_ANSWER	X didn't answer after several tries (0 in over 4,000 lookups in our tests)	no

• Set Maximum cost per run and the run stops cleanly at that amount. 10,000 tweets cost about $0.90 on Bronze.

How it compares, from each actor's public Store page on 8 November 2026:

	This actor	apidojo/tweet-scraper	apidojo/twitter-scraper-lite	kaitoeasyapi tweet scraper	xquik/x-tweet-scraper
Price per 1,000 tweets (Bronze)	$0.09	$0.40	$0.40–2.00 by batch size, + $0.05 per tweet URL query	$0.22	$0.15
Free tweets every month	500	none	none	none	none
Look up tweets by link or ID	yes	yes	yes	yes	yes
Keyword search, profiles, lists	no	yes	yes	yes	yes
Retweet, quote, view, bookmark counts of the tweet itself	no (retweets only for quoted / replied-to tweets)	yes	yes	yes	yes

For video links only, the Twitter video downloaders on the Store charged, on the same date: igview-owner/twitter-x-video-downloader $5.00 per 1,000 results, epctex/twitter-video-downloader $0.40 per 1,000 seconds of 720p video (it also stores the files). This actor returns the MP4 links (not the files) at $0.09 per 1,000 tweets, and with Only tweets with a video on, tweets without a video are free.

If you need search or full timelines, use one of the others. If you need fast, cheap numbers and media for tweets you already have, this one costs less and needs nothing from you.

❓ FAQ

Where does the data come from? From X's public tweet-embed data: the same JSON that loads when a news site or blog shows an embedded tweet to a visitor who isn't logged in. We don't use accounts, cookies, a browser or signed requests, and we read nothing a logged-out visitor can't see. This is an unofficial tool, not affiliated with X Corp.

Why are long posts cut off? X's embed data carries the first ~280 characters of a long post (X Premium "show more" posts), so isTextTruncated is true for those rows and the text ends where X cuts it. In our tests about a third of recent tweets from tech and news accounts were long posts.

Why no retweet or view counts? X doesn't put them in the embed data for the tweet itself. It does include retweets for the quoted tweet and the replied-to tweet, so those are in quotedTweet.retweetCount and replyTo.retweetCount.

Can it search X or read a profile's latest tweets? No. X shows search, hashtags, lists and profile timelines only to logged-in users, and we don't log in. Profile and search links come back as an uncharged row that explains this.

How fast is it? About 2,000 tweets in 16 seconds in our tests, with no proxy needed. Old tweets (2020 and earlier) answer more slowly than recent ones.

Are the numbers live? Yes. Each run reads them fresh, so scheduling the same list daily gives you an engagement history (use scrapedAt as the time).

Private accounts? Tweets from protected accounts are not public, so they come back as NOT_FOUND.

Does it download the video file? It gives you the direct MP4 link on X's video server (video.twimg.com), in every quality X offers. Open it in a browser or fetch it with any HTTP client to save the file. Files are not copied into Apify storage, which keeps it cheap. Only download videos you have the right to use.

Can I use it from code, n8n, Make or Zapier? Yes. Use the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) with { "tweets": [...] }; see the next section for AI agents.

🤖 Use it from AI agents (MCP)

Add https://mcp.apify.com?tools=actors,k-data-lab/x-tweet-scraper to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client (sign in with Apify), and the agent gets this actor as a named tool. Prompts that work:

• "Get the likes and replies for these 20 tweet links."
• "Give me the MP4 download link for this X video: https://x.com/…/status/…"
• "Which of these tweets were deleted?" (look for status other than OK)

Agent input is one array, tweets, of links or IDs. Optional: videoOnly (true = only tweets with a video), threadDepth (0–25), skipMissing. The output is one JSON row per tweet with the fields above. A 10-tweet call costs under $0.01, and the first 500 tweets each month are free.

🙅 What it doesn't do

• No keyword search, hashtag pages, lists, profile timelines, followers or likes lists (all logged-in only on X).
• No retweet, quote, bookmark or view counts for the tweet itself.
• Video files are not stored, only their MP4 links.
• Long posts are truncated to the part X's embed shows (isTextTruncated: true).
• No replies below a tweet. threadDepth walks up a conversation, to the tweets a reply answers.
