X Communities Latest Posts Scraper

🧭 Find the latest posts in X Communities

Researchers, community managers, and data teams can search public X Communities by one keyword or by one or more Community IDs or URLs. The Actor saves each post as a structured dataset row with its text, source Community, author details, time, engagement counts, media references, and public links when available. The source Community stays with each row, so you can see where a post came from.

Use cases

🗂️ Public X Community post rows

Each saved row represents one public post. A row can include the post text, source Community, author data, engagement counts, media references, language, and conversation context when the source exposes them. Optional fields may be absent.

The first eligible match is saved right away. If another submitted Community, URL, or keyword finds the same post later, that later match is ignored. The saved row keeps the source context from the first match.

▶️ Search or collect Community posts

Run steps

1. Set Find posts by to Community or Keyword.
2. Enter one or more public Community IDs or URLs, or enter one keyword or phrase.
3. Choose Newest first or Top ranked.
4. Set Maximum posts when you want a smaller run. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted.
5. Run the Actor and open the dataset.

Post order

Newest first uses publication time. Top ranked uses the source's top or high-engagement order when available.
