X (Twitter) Quote Tweets Scraper

What is X Twitter Quote Tweets Scraper?

X Twitter Quote Tweets Scraper turns X (Twitter) post links into one row per quote tweet: the quote's text, time, language, views, likes, replies, reposts, bookmarks, media and links, the quoting account's name, bio, followers and verification, and a copy of the original post being quoted. Social media managers, PR teams, researchers and AI agents use it to see who is quoting a post, what they say and how far it spread, with no X login.

Why social teams use it

• The conversation around a post. Every public quote with its own text and engagement.
• Who is talking. Followers, bio and verification for each quoting account, so you can spot influential voices.
• Reach per quote. Views, likes, replies, reposts and bookmarks on each quote.
• The original in every row. quotedTweet keeps the source post's text and stats for context.
• Pay per quote. One charge per quote tweet saved.

  ],
  "maxQuotesPerTweet": 25,

Example workflow: tracking reaction to a launch

A product team announces a feature on X. The next morning they run the post link with maxQuotesPerTweet at 200. They sort quotes by authorFollowersCount to find influential reactions, read the text of the top 30, and tag praise, questions and complaints. Then they collect the accounts that reposted without comment using X Retweeters Scraper.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event. Apify platform usage is included in the event price. You pay one event per quote tweet saved, plus a start event per run. The live Pricing tab on this page shows the current price.

• 1 post × 200 quotes = 200 quote events.
• maxQuotesPerTweet caps each post, so it doubles as a cost ceiling.

Social listening with AI agents (MCP)

Connect this Actor to an AI agent through Apify MCP and ask in plain language:

Get the quote tweets on this post and summarize what the most-followed accounts are saying.

Agent checklist:

1. Pass post links in tweetUrls.
2. Keep maxQuotesPerTweet close to the request.
3. Read rows with get-dataset-items; sort by authorFollowersCount or viewCount.
4. Share tweetUrl for each quote.

API example

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/khadinakbar~x-twitter-quote-tweets-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \

Builder's note

I found that quote tweets carry the real opinion about a post, so each row keeps the quote's text and reach along with the quoting account's audience. I learned that people reading quotes later lose context, so the original post rides along in quotedTweet.
