Stocktwits Sentiment Scraper

📈 Stocktwits data for market research

Stocktwits Scraper helps traders, analysts, and researchers collect current public Stocktwits messages, user posts, and ranked trending symbols. It returns source sentiment, a separate text sentiment label, author and market context, and direct source links in structured dataset rows for market research and downstream analysis.

• Stocktwits Sentiment Analysis compares Stocktwits labels with the separate text sentiment label.
• Use Stocktwits API to start Actor runs and download structured rows.
• Build a message dataset with Stocktwits Dataset for text, symbols, authors, and source links.
• Collect current posts from public accounts with Stocktwits User Posts.
• Export the ranked current symbol list with Stocktwits Trending Symbols.
• Review public author fields in message rows with Stocktwits Author Analysis.

📦 Stocktwits messages and trending symbols

Message rows contain message text, publication time, source sentiment, a text-based sentiment label, cashtags, mentions, public author fields, media, conversation details, and optional price-target fields. Trending-symbol rows contain ranked symbol identity, watchlist context, source trend fields, and market classification.

Some source values can be null or empty when Stocktwits does not provide them. When the same message is found through more than one submitted symbol or username, the Actor saves the first eligible match and skips later matches. matchedInput shows the symbol or username that first found that saved message.

🚀 Run Stocktwits Scraper

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Choose symbol, user, trending, or trending-symbols in Result type.
3. Add ticker symbols or public usernames when the chosen mode needs them.
4. Set a work limit, or leave it empty to collect all available results until the relevant public source is exhausted.
5. Start the Actor and open the dataset.

A Stocktwits login or API key is not needed for this public data.

Input fields

Field	Type	What it does

usernames	array of strings	Supplies public Stocktwits usernames without the @ sign for user mode.

❓ FAQ

Which mode should I choose?

Use symbol for current public messages for submitted tickers, user for current public posts from submitted usernames, trending for current market-wide trending messages, and trending-symbols for the ranked public trending-symbol list.

What happens when I leave a work limit empty?

The Actor returns all available messages or trending symbols until the relevant public source is exhausted.

What does matchedInput mean?

It is the first submitted symbol or username that found a saved message. If another submitted value finds the same message later, that later match is skipped. Trending messages have null because they are not tied to a submitted symbol or username.

What happens when Stocktwits leaves out a value?

The field can be null or empty. The Actor does not invent missing source facts.

Does source sentiment appear on every message?

No. sourceSentiment is present when the author added a Bullish or Bearish label. computedSentiment is a separate positive, neutral, or negative label based on the message text.

Can I collect posts from a Stocktwits user?

Yes. Choose user and enter public usernames without the @ sign.

Does this provide a full Stocktwits archive?

No. It collects current public data exposed by the chosen Stocktwits source. It does not promise a full historical archive.

Is the data a trading recommendation?

No. The Actor returns source data and text sentiment. It does not give trading advice or predict prices.
