X (Twitter) Replies Scraper

💬 Collect public X replies from known posts

Researchers, marketers, and developers can use this X (Twitter) reply scraper with public post URLs or IDs they already have. It saves structured reply rows with reply text, source links, conversation context, available author details, engagement counts, publish time, language, and public media references. This turns known public conversations into data you can review or use in another workflow. It does not find source posts by keyword, profile, or timeline.

Use it to:

• Collect public replies from a supplied post with Twitter Replies Scraper.
• Pull reply text into a dataset with Tweet Reply Scraper.
• Save replies from X post URLs or IDs with Scrape Twitter Replies.
• Review deeper conversation coverage with Scrape X Replies.
• Keep reply links and author details together with Twitter Reply Scraper.

🧾 Reply rows with source context

Each saved row represents one public reply found for a supplied X post. The row keeps the reply ID, text, and link together with the source post. When X exposes them, it also includes parent reply and conversation details, public author fields, engagement counts, publish time, language, and media links with their types.

Only public data that X surfaces is available. The Actor does not promise every reply in a large conversation, and it does not download media files.

▶️ Run a public X reply collection

1. Add one or more public X post URLs or post IDs.
2. Choose Direct replies or Deeper conversation.
3. Set Maximum reply records, or leave it empty to return all available replies until the source is exhausted.
4. Run the Actor and open the default dataset.

The selected conversation depth applies to every supplied post in the run. Use a direct post URL or ID when you already know the source. This Actor does not discover source posts from keywords, profiles, or timelines.

⚙️ Input

conversationDepth	string	Chooses direct replies or deeper surfaced conversation coverage for each source post.
maxItems	integer (optional)	Stops after this many reply records. Leave it empty to return all available replies until the source is exhausted.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. The primary event is charged when one public reply is successfully collected and saved as a dataset row. The current price is shown in Apify's Pricing tab.

Use Maximum reply records to set an optional work limit. Leaving it empty returns all available replies until the source is exhausted.

🔌 Integrations

Open the default dataset in Apify or use the Apify API and dataset export tools to read the structured reply rows in another workflow.

❓ FAQ

What if the source post is private, deleted, suspended, age-restricted, or login-only?

Only public replies that X surfaces can be returned. An unavailable source may produce no reply rows, and the Actor does not bypass access limits.

Does deeper conversation coverage return every reply?

No. It can include deeper replies that X publicly surfaces, but it does not guarantee every reply in a large conversation.

What is the difference between Direct replies and Deeper conversation?

Direct replies collect replies to the supplied post. Deeper conversation can also include surfaced replies from the conversation around that post.

What happens when Maximum reply records is empty?

The Actor continues until the source is exhausted and returns all available replies it can collect. The source, not a fixed number in the schema, controls the available total.

Can I submit more than one source post?

Yes. Add one or more public X post URLs or IDs. The selected conversation depth applies to every source post in that run.

Does this Actor find posts by keyword or profile?

No. Submit the public post URLs or IDs you want to read. The Actor does not discover source posts by keyword, profile, or timeline.

Which author and engagement fields are included?

Each row can include the public author details and engagement counts that X exposes, along with publish time and language. Missing optional values are left out.

Does the Actor download reply media?

No. It returns public media URLs and media types when X exposes them. It does not download or store the media bytes.

Can I use it for change tracking across runs?

No. The Actor collects the public replies available for the supplied posts in that run. It does not provide historical monitoring, change tracking, or cross-run alerts.
