X Community Members Scraper

Scrape X (Twitter) Community members and the full community profile from any community URL or ID — no login, no cookies, no X account required. Built for recruiters, growth marketers, community managers, and AI agents that need to map who is active inside a topic community.

What it does

Give it one or more X Community URLs (e.g. https://x.com/i/communities/1699807431709041070) or numeric community IDs. For each community it returns:

1. A community profile record — name, description, total member count, creation date, join policy, primary topic, rules, and the creator's handle.
2. Member records — the community creator, the featured members shown on the community page, and the active members (accounts posting in the community right now), each enriched with handle, display name, bio, follower/following counts, blue-verified status, location, and avatar.

When to use it

• Find and qualify the active people inside a niche X Community for outreach or recruiting.
• Pull a community's profile and rules for competitive or audience research.
• Feed an AI agent a community URL and get back a clean, structured roster of who to engage.

Do not use it for single-profile lookups (use the x-twitter-profile-scraper), tweet search (x-tweet-scraper), or follower lists (twitter-profile-followers-scraper).

Output

One flat JSON record per community and per member. recordType tells them apart.

How it works & coverage

This actor is cookieless and login-free. It reads X Communities through resilient data providers (ScrapeCreators primary, SociaVault fallback) and normalizes everything into one stable schema.

Important coverage note (read this): X does not expose a community's complete private member roster to anyone who is not logged in. For a community with hundreds of thousands of members, no public, cookieless tool can dump all of them. This actor surfaces the members X actually exposes publicly:

• the creator,
• the featured members shown on the community page, and
• the active members — accounts visibly posting in the community's recent feed, fully enriched.

For most outreach, recruiting, and research use cases the active members are exactly who you want — they are the people currently participating. If you need a literal full roster of every member, that data only exists behind an authenticated X session and is out of scope for a cookieless actor.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

This actor is MCP-ready. In an MCP client it appears as apify--x-community-members-scraper. Pass a community URL, get back structured community + member JSON. Errors return actionable messages (e.g. "No valid X/Twitter community found").

FAQ

Do I need an X account or cookies? No. Nothing to configure beyond the input.

Can it return all 200,000 members of a big community? No — see the coverage note above. It returns the publicly visible creator, featured, and active members.

Which communities work? Any public X Community reachable at x.com/i/communities/<id>.

Why are some featured members missing a handle? The community page facepile sometimes exposes only an avatar and user ID; those rows include what is available.

What happens on a bad input? The run exits cleanly with a clear status message and charges nothing for members.

Legal

This actor collects only publicly available data and does not bypass authentication or access private content. You are responsible for using the output in compliance with X's Terms of Service, applicable data-protection laws (including GDPR/CCPA where relevant), and any local regulations. Do not use scraped personal data for spam, harassment, or unlawful profiling. This tool is provided for legitimate research, recruiting, and analytics use cases.
