You can easily trigger and integrate this scraper into your existing pipelines using Python, JavaScript/Node.js, or direct HTTP API requests.

Python Integration (via apify-client)

from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize client with your Apify API Token
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need a Twitter / X account or API token?

No. The scraper runs independently and does not require an X login, cookies, or Twitter Developer API keys.

Can I scrape Private lists?

No. Only public Twitter / X lists are accessible. If a list is private or deleted, the scraper will return an empty status with a descriptive reason.

How do I handle large extractions (10,000+ members/tweets)?

Simply set max_results to your desired count (e.g., 10000). The scraper automatically handles pagination cursors and token management. Ensure you have an active Apify paid subscription for runs exceeding 30 items.

Are media attachments and avatar links permanent?

Yes! All avatars, banners, and media images are automatically resolved to Twitter's official CDN URLs (pbs.twimg.com).
