This project is a web scraper designed to extract user data and tweets from X (formerly known as Twitter) using Crawlee and Playwright.

You can access the X Crawler programmatically from your own JavaScript applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in Integrations settings in Apify Console.

1import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
2
3// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
4// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
5const client = new ApifyClient({
6    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
7});
8
9// Prepare Actor input
10const input = {
11    "startUrls": [
12        {
13            "url": "https://x.com/elonmusk"
14        }
15    ]
16};
17
18// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
19const run = await client.actor("lumen_limitless/x-crawler").call(input);
20
21// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
22console.log('Results from dataset');
23console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
24const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
25items.forEach((item) => {
26    console.dir(item);
27});
