Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README

**Paste tweet URLs β†’ get back every post with full content and engagement metrics.** The precise, no-API-key way to hydrate the exact tweets you care about.
--- ### πŸ“Œ Overview The **X (Twitter) Post Scraper** takes specific tweet/post **URLs (or tweet ids)** and returns the complete data for each post: text, author, **likes, retweets, replies, quotes, bookmarks and views**, media, hashtags, mentions, links and the post date. Pass many URLs and it scrapes them all in one run. It works with **no login, no cookies and no API key** β€” reading only public data through residential proxies, so there's **zero risk to any X account**. No headless browser means it's **fast and inexpensive**, even for large URL lists. > βœ… Ideal for **enriching tweet links you already have** β€” from a spreadsheet, a > report, a newsletter, or the output of another scraper. --- ### ✨ Features | | Feature | Description | |---|---|---| | 🎯 | **Exact posts** | Scrape precisely the tweets you specify β€” no noise. | | πŸ“Š | **Every metric** | Likes, retweets, replies, quotes, bookmarks & **views**. | | πŸ–ΌοΈ | **Full content** | Text (incl. long posts), media, hashtags, mentions & links. | | πŸ‘€ | **Author data** | Username, name, follower count and verified status. | | πŸ“¦ | **Bulk + concurrency** | Hundreds of URLs per run, fetched in parallel. | | 🧯 | **Graceful errors** | Deleted/protected posts are flagged, never break the run. | | πŸ›‘οΈ | **Login-free & safe** | Guest-token access over residential proxies β€” no account, no ban risk. | | πŸ“€ | **Any format** | Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or pull via API & webhooks. | --- ### 🎯 Who it's for - **Engagement & PR reporting** β€” pull metrics for a set of campaign or press posts. - **Content archiving** β€” snapshot specific tweets before they change or disappear. - **Research & fact-checking** β€” capture the exact data behind a tweet link. - **Data enrichment** β€” hydrate tweet URLs collected elsewhere into full records. --- ### 🧾 Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `postUrls` | array | **Required.** Tweet/post URLs or tweet ids. | | `maxConcurrency` | integer | How many posts to fetch in parallel (1–12). Default `5`. | | `maxResults` | integer | Stop after this many posts. `0` = all. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Residential proxy (required by X). Pre-configured for you. | #### Example input ```json { "postUrls": [ "https://x.com/NASA/status/2059393717111308634", "2059393717111308634" ] } ```` *** ### πŸ“¦ Output Each post is saved as one structured record: ```json { "tweetId": "2059393717111308634", "url": "https://x.com/NASA/status/2059393717111308634", "text": "On Tuesday, June 9, we'll announce the four astronauts...", "createdAt": "Tue Jun 03 16:00:00 +0000 2026", "lang": "en", "likeCount": 38146, "retweetCount": 4120, "replyCount": 612, "quoteCount": 210, "bookmarkCount": 1503, "viewCount": 2834957, "isReply": false, "isQuote": false, "isRetweet": false, "hashtags": ["Artemis"], "mentions": ["NASA_Astronauts"], "urls": ["https://www.nasa.gov/..."], "media": [{ "type": "photo", "url": "https://pbs.twimg.com/media/..." }], "author": { "username": "NASA", "name": "NASA", "followers": 92089565, "verified": true } } ``` #### πŸ“– Output field reference | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `text` | Full post text (long-form posts supported) | | `likeCount` / `retweetCount` / `replyCount` | Core engagement | | `quoteCount` / `bookmarkCount` / `viewCount` | Extended engagement & reach | | `isReply` / `isQuote` / `isRetweet` | Post type flags | | `hashtags` / `mentions` / `urls` | Entities extracted from the post | | `media` | Photos / videos with type and URL | | `author` | Post author with follower count & verified status | | `createdAt` / `url` | Post date and direct link | *** ### βš™οΈ How it works 1. You provide tweet/post **URLs or ids**. 2. The actor resolves each post through X's public data layer over a residential proxy. 3. Every post is parsed into a clean record with full engagement and media. 4. Results stream to the dataset; deleted/protected posts are flagged. No login, no cookies, no API keys β€” and **no X account is ever used or risked**. *** ### ❓ FAQ #### Is this an X / Twitter API alternative? Yes. It hydrates tweet URLs into full post data without the official X / Twitter API, developer account, app keys or per-tweet rate limits β€” just paste links and run. #### Does it need login or cookies? No. It uses public guest-token access only β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” pass a large `postUrls` list and raise `maxConcurrency`. #### 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 β€” or pull it via API/webhook. It's a clean tweet data export with no extra steps. #### Can I scrape tweets without an API key or login? Yes. This is a Twitter unofficial API by URL β€” 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. *** ### πŸ”— Works great with - 🐦 **X (Twitter) Tweet Scraper** β€” pull a whole profile's timeline. - 🐦 **X (Twitter) Profile & Email Scraper** β€” enrich the authors with contacts. ***
