## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## X (Twitter) Retweeters Scraper

Scrape **who retweeted** any public X/Twitter post — username, display name, bio, follower count, verification status, location, and more. Give it one or more tweet URLs (or raw tweet IDs); get back a flat dataset of retweeter profiles, ready for lead gen, audience analysis, or influencer outreach.

- **No X login or API key required** — provider-backed via SociaVault, cookieless
- **Auto-pagination** — fetches up to 100 retweeters per request, auto-pages until your `maxRetweetersPerTweet` cap
- **MCP-ready** — works as a tool call for Claude, GPT, and any OpenAI-compatible agent

### What data do you get?

| `tweet_id` | Source tweet numeric ID | `1895656695831191692` |

### Use cases

- **Lead generation** — find people who engaged with a competitor's viral post
- **Influencer discovery** — who amplifies content in your niche
- **Audience research** — profile breakdown of a post's amplifiers
- **PR monitoring** — track who shares your brand announcements
- **B2B outreach** — identify decision-makers retweeting industry news

### Input

```json
{
  "tweetUrls": ["https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1895656695831191692"],
  "maxRetweetersPerTweet": 100
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `tweetUrls` | string\[] | — | Full X/Twitter post URLs |
| `tweetIds` | string\[] | — | Numeric tweet IDs (alternative to URLs) |
| `maxRetweetersPerTweet` | integer | 500 | Cap per tweet (1–10 000) |

Provide `tweetUrls` OR `tweetIds` — both work; duplicates are de-duped by ID.

### Pricing

**Pay per event + platform usage:**

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Actor start | $0.00005 |
| Retweeter found | $0.006 |

Typical costs: 100 retweeters = ~$0.60 + ~$0.05 platform usage ≈ **$0.65 total**.

### API / cURL example

```bash
curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/khadinakbar~x-retweeters-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "tweetUrls": ["https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1895656695831191692"],
    "maxRetweetersPerTweet": 50
  }'
```

### Agent prompt card (Claude / GPT)

> Use the `apify--x-retweeters-scraper` tool to get a list of users who retweeted a tweet.
> Input: `tweetUrls` (array of X post URLs), `maxRetweetersPerTweet` (integer, default 500).
> Output: one row per retweeter with username, follower count, bio, and profile URL.
> Charged $0.006 per retweeter returned.

### Limitations

- Returns **public retweeters only** — private/protected accounts are not surfaced by the provider
- Provider returns up to **100 retweeters per page**; pagination is automatic up to your cap
- X's API occasionally returns fewer retweeters than the true count for very large threads — this is a platform-side limit, not a bug
- Liker identities (not retweeters) are **not available** in public no-login data

# Actor input Schema

## `tweetUrls` (type: `array`):

One or more public X/Twitter post URLs to get retweeters for. Paste the full URL like https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1895656695831191692. Accepts twitter.com or x.com URLs. Use this OR Tweet IDs below — not both.

## `tweetIds` (type: `array`):

Numeric tweet IDs (10–19 digits) as an alternative to full URLs. Example: 1895656695831191692. Use this OR Tweet URLs above — not both. Useful for agent/API calls where you already have the raw ID.

## `maxRetweetersPerTweet` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of retweeter profiles to return for each tweet. Each page from the provider returns up to 100 users. Default is 500. Set to a lower value to control cost; set higher (up to 10 000) for viral tweets.

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).
