❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does it need login or cookies? No. It uses public guest-token access only — no login, no cookies you provide and no developer API key. No X account is ever used, so there's zero ban risk.

Can I pass tweet URLs or tweet IDs? Both — full post URLs (https://x.com/.../status/123) or bare tweet IDs. Mix them freely in one run.

What happens with deleted or protected tweets? They're returned with a clear error flag so your run always completes cleanly instead of failing on a single bad link.

How many tweets can I scrape per run? Hundreds to thousands — pass a large postUrls list and raise maxConcurrency.

Is this an X / Twitter API alternative?

Yes. It hydrates tweet URLs into full post data without the official X / Twitter API, a developer account, app keys or per-tweet rate limits — just paste links and run.

Can I scrape tweets without an API key or login?

Yes. This is a Twitter unofficial API by URL — it reads public post data over residential proxies with no developer API key, no app, no login and no cookies.

Does it return tweet engagement metrics?

Yes. Every record includes likes, retweets, replies, quotes, bookmarks and views, making it a ready Twitter post engagement-metrics scraper for reporting.

How do I export X / Twitter post data to CSV or JSON?

Run the Actor on your tweet URLs, then download the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel or HTML — or pull it via API/webhook. It's a clean tweet data export with no extra steps.
