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

**Point it at any @handle and pull the timeline with every engagement metric β€” likes, retweets, replies, quotes, bookmarks and views.** The fast, no-API-key alternative for tweet data at scale.
--- ### πŸ“Œ Overview The **X (Twitter) Tweet Scraper** collects tweets from any list of X / Twitter **@handles or profile URLs** and returns each tweet with complete metadata: **likes, retweets, replies, quotes, bookmarks and views**, plus hashtags, mentions, links, media, language and the post date. It paginates each timeline to pull **hundreds of tweets per profile**. It needs **no login, no cookies and no API key** β€” it reads only public data through residential proxies, so there's **zero risk to any X account**. With no headless browser, it's a **fast and low-cost** way to build large tweet datasets. > βœ… Add many handles and raise `maxTweetsPerProfile` to assemble an > **analysis-ready tweet dataset** in a single run. --- ### ✨ Features | | Feature | Description | |---|---|---| | πŸ“¦ | **Hundreds per profile** | Cursor pagination walks the full public timeline. | | πŸ“Š | **Every engagement metric** | Likes, retweets, replies, quotes, bookmarks & **views**. | | 🧡 | **Rich tweet data** | Hashtags, mentions, links, media, language & flags (reply / quote / retweet). | | πŸ‘€ | **Author context** | Username, name, follower count and verified status per tweet. | | 🎚️ | **Smart filters** | Toggle retweets and replies in or out. | | ⚑ | **No browser** | Lightweight API access β€” fast and cheap at scale. | | 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 - **Content & competitor analysis** β€” see which posts and formats win in your niche. - **Brand & executive monitoring** β€” archive an account's output with engagement. - **Data science & ML** β€” build labelled tweet datasets for NLP, sentiment & trends. - **Marketers & analysts** β€” benchmark reach and engagement across accounts and time. --- ### 🧾 Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `profiles` | array | **Required.** X @handles or profile URLs (`nasa`, `@naval`, `https://x.com/stripe`). | | `maxTweetsPerProfile` | integer | How many tweets to collect per profile (paginated). Default `100`. | | `includeRetweets` | boolean | Include the profile's retweets. Default `true`. | | `includeReplies` | boolean | Include the profile's replies. Default `true`. | | `maxResults` | integer | Global cap on tweets saved. `0` = unlimited. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Residential proxy (required by X). Pre-configured for you. | #### Example input ```json { "profiles": ["nasa", "naval"], "maxTweetsPerProfile": 200, "includeReplies": false } ```` *** ### πŸ“¦ Output Each tweet 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 who will...", "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 }, "fromProfile": "NASA" } ``` #### πŸ“– Output field reference | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `text` | Full tweet text (long-form posts supported) | | `likeCount` / `retweetCount` / `replyCount` | Core engagement | | `quoteCount` / `bookmarkCount` / `viewCount` | Extended engagement & reach | | `isReply` / `isQuote` / `isRetweet` | Tweet type flags | | `hashtags` / `mentions` / `urls` | Entities extracted from the tweet | | `media` | Photos / videos with type and URL | | `author` | Tweet author with follower count & verified status | | `createdAt` / `url` | Post date and direct link | *** ### βš™οΈ How it works 1. You provide X **@handles or profile URLs**. 2. The actor resolves each profile and walks its public timeline with cursor pagination. 3. Each tweet is parsed into a clean record with full engagement metrics. 4. Your retweet / reply filters are applied and results stream to the dataset. 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 pulls a profile's tweets with full engagement without the official X / Twitter API, a developer account, app keys or the API's low free-tier read caps β€” just paste handles and run. #### Does it need login or cookies? No. The Actor uses public guest-token access β€” no login, no cookies you provide and no developer API key. No X account is involved, so there's zero ban risk. #### How many tweets can I get per profile? Hundreds β€” it paginates the public timeline with cursor pagination and you control depth with `maxTweetsPerProfile`. Run many handles in one go for a large dataset. #### Are view counts included? Yes β€” the view count is captured whenever X exposes it, alongside likes, retweets, replies, quotes and bookmarks. #### Can I exclude retweets or replies? Yes β€” toggle `includeRetweets` and `includeReplies` independently to get only the original tweets you want. #### Can I scrape tweets without an API key or login? Yes. This is a Twitter scraper without API key β€” it uses public guest-token access over residential proxies, so you scrape tweets without login, cookies or a developer account, and with zero ban risk. #### How do I export tweets to CSV or JSON? Every run builds a tweet dataset you can export to CSV, JSON, Excel or HTML, or pull straight from the API and webhooks β€” ideal for a tweet engagement dataset. #### Is this a Twitter timeline scraper? Yes. Point it at any @handle and it walks the public timeline with cursor pagination to pull hundreds of tweets per profile with full engagement metrics. *** ### πŸ”— Works great with - 🐦 **X (Twitter) Profile & Email Scraper** β€” enrich the authors with contact details. - 🐦 **X (Twitter) Post Scraper by URL** β€” grab specific posts in bulk. ***
