Twitter (X) Community Search, Members & Tweets Scraper

🏘️ Get X communities, posts, and members in one place

X Communities helps marketers, researchers, founders, and community managers study Twitter communities on X. Search communities by keyword, or paste community links or IDs. You get community details and rules, feed posts with engagement counts, or full member lists with roles. You do not need an X account, cookies, or an API key.

• Find Twitter communities about any topic by searching with your own keywords.
• Export Twitter community members with roles, bios, and follower counts for audience research.
• See who runs a group with an X community moderators list of admins and moderators.
• Search X community posts for a word or phrase to follow one topic inside a group.
• Check for X communities still active by reading the newest posts in each feed.
• Collect photos and videos from a group's Media feed with X community media.

📊 What data you get from X communities

Each run returns one kind of result. You pick it with Result type.

• Communities: name, description, member count, topic, banner image, member preview images, adult content flag, rules, join and invite policy, creation date, and the creator and admin profiles. Keyword search results include the fields X shows in search, plus the keyword that found them.
• Community posts: full text, date, language, likes, reposts, replies, quotes, views, bookmarks, images and videos, links, hashtags, mentions, reply and quote IDs, and the author profile.
• Community members: profile ID, username, display name, bio, location, website, follower and following counts, post count, verification, and the member's role in the community.

🚀 How to scrape X communities

1. Choose a Result type: Communities, Community posts, or Community members.
2. For communities, search by Keywords, or switch Find communities by to Community links or IDs.
3. For posts or members, add one or more Community links or IDs, such as https://x.com/i/communities/1471580197908586507.
4. Set Maximum results, or leave it empty to get everything available.
5. Click Start, then download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel, or another format.

❓ FAQ

Can I use Post keywords with the Media feed?

No. Post keywords work only with the Top or Latest feed. If you choose Media and add Post keywords, the run stops with a message and saves nothing.

How do I get only the admins and moderators?

Choose Community members as the result type, then set Members to get to Admins and moderators only.

Where do I find a community ID?

Open the community on X. The ID is the long number after /i/communities/ in the link. You can also paste the full link.

How do I search for communities on X?

Choose Communities, keep Find communities by on Keywords, and add one or more search words. Each keyword is a separate search, and each row shows the keyword that found it.

How can I tell if an X community is still active?

Get the community's posts from the Latest feed. The createdAt date on each post shows when people last posted.

Do I need an X account or cookies?

No. You do not need an X account, login cookies, or an API key. The Actor gets public community data only.

Can I get private communities?

No. The Actor gets public community data only. It cannot read data that needs your own X login.

What does Maximum results set to 0 mean?

Empty or 0 means no limit. The run gets all available results for all your communities and keywords.

What happens if one community fails?

The run shows a warning and moves on to the next community. If no community can be read at all, the run fails and asks you to try again later.
