Twitter Retweet Checker

🔁 Twitter retweet checker for public X posts

Twitter Retweet Checker verifies whether specific Twitter/X users retweeted specific public posts. Paste one or more tweet URLs or tweet IDs, add one or more usernames, and export a clean true/false retweet check for each completed tweet/user pair.

Use this Actor when you already know the post and the accounts you want to verify. It is useful for campaign checks, giveaway eligibility, creator reporting, social-proof audits, community ops, and API workflows where opening X manually for every username would be slow and hard to track.

For a small first run, keep the prefilled Apify tweet and username, leave Retweet check limit at 100, and start the Actor. Once the output shape looks right, paste your own public post IDs, tweet URLs, and usernames.

✅ What this Actor does

• Checks whether Twitter/X usernames retweeted public posts.
• Accepts x.com URLs, twitter.com URLs, and raw numeric tweet IDs.
• Accepts usernames with or without @.
• Runs a matrix of submitted tweets and usernames, then saves one result per completed check.
• Exports tweetId, canonical tweetUrl, original inputs, normalized username, hasRetweeted, checkedAt, and retweeterProfileUrl when the user is found.
• Skips invalid tweet IDs, invalid usernames, and temporarily unavailable source checks without adding placeholder rows.
• Works through Apify runs, datasets, exports, API calls, schedules, webhooks, and integrations.

This Actor is focused on retweet verification for known public posts. It does not search Twitter/X, scrape replies, export every retweeter, check likes, inspect private accounts, or fetch protected/deleted/login-only posts.

📊 Data you can export

Each output row represents one completed retweet check for one tweet/user pair.

Core fields include:

• tweetId - numeric Twitter/X post ID.
• tweetUrl - canonical https://x.com/i/status/{tweetId} URL.
• inputTweetUrl - the tweet URL or ID you submitted.
• username - normalized username without @.
• inputUsername - the username value you submitted.
• hasRetweeted - true when the username is found in the post's retweeter list, otherwise false.
• checkedAt - UTC timestamp for the check.
• retweeterProfileUrl - profile URL when hasRetweeted is true, otherwise null.

You can open the dataset in Apify, export it as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML, call the results through the Apify API, schedule repeated checks, or connect the Actor to webhooks and integrations.

🚀 How to run

1. Add one or more public Twitter/X tweet URLs or numeric tweet IDs in Tweet URLs or IDs.
2. Add one or more usernames in Usernames.
3. Keep Retweet check limit at 100 for a controlled first run.
4. Run the Actor.
5. Open the dataset and filter hasRetweeted to find confirmed retweets.

The Actor checks every valid tweet/user pair until it reaches the limit. For example, 2 tweet IDs and 10 usernames create up to 20 retweet checks.

💸 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged for each completed retweet check that is saved as a result.

Invalid tweet IDs, invalid usernames, and source checks that cannot be completed are skipped instead of being saved as result rows. Keep Retweet check limit small for your first run, then increase it when the output fits your workflow.

⚠️ Limits and caveats

Twitter/X can hide, remove, restrict, rate-limit, or change access to public post data. If a check cannot be completed after the Actor's source attempts, that pair is skipped and reported in the run logs.

The Actor only checks public retweet information for public posts. It does not bypass privacy controls, does not check protected accounts, and does not verify private or login-only interactions.

Negative results mean the username was not found in the retweeter data available to the Actor at run time. If a post has changed recently or a retweet is very new, rerun the check later.

❓ FAQ

🔎 Can I check more than one username?

Yes. Add multiple usernames in Usernames. The Actor checks each valid username against each valid tweet until it reaches Retweet check limit.

🔢 Can I use raw tweet IDs instead of URLs?

Yes. You can paste raw numeric tweet IDs, full x.com URLs, or full twitter.com URLs.

🔐 Do I need to provide Twitter cookies or an API key?

No. The public input form does not ask for Twitter/X cookies, login details, or an API key.

📤 Can I export the results through the API?

Yes. Results are saved in a normal Apify dataset, so you can export them from the run page, pull them through the Apify API, schedule runs, or connect webhooks and integrations.

🧵 Does this export the full retweeter list?

No. This Actor answers whether submitted usernames retweeted submitted posts. Use a broader Twitter/X scraper if you need full reply, repost, or timeline collection.
