Single Tweet Scraper

Give it tweet links or tweet IDs, get one full record per tweet — with the author's profile embedded. No login, no cookies, no API key. Paste https://x.com/NASA/status/2090487779268407625, a twitter.com/…/status/… link, or the bare numeric ID.

You are charged only for tweets that actually came back. A deleted, protected, or withheld tweet produces an explanatory row and costs nothing.

Input	Tweet URLs or numeric tweet IDs
Output	One row per tweet: text, all engagement counters, media, links, hashtags, mentions, author profile
Price	$0.005 per tweet — the same on every Apify plan
Timelines	Not fetched. This Actor is the single-tweet mode of the X (Twitter) Profile & Tweets Scraper; use that one to pull an account's recent tweets

• Full text. Long-form posts are returned whole, not cut at 280 characters (isLongform: true).
• All six counters: replies, reposts, quotes, likes, bookmarks, views.
• Lineage for reposts and quote tweets: retweetedTweetId, quotedTweetId, quotedText.
• Author profile embedded (40+ fields including verifiedType, verifiedSince, createdAt). Turn it off with includeAuthorProfile: false for a slimmer row.

Pricing

$0.005 per tweet, on every Apify plan — Free, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond. Check the Pricing tab: all six columns are identical. The price a listing advertises in its title is not always the price a free-plan run pays; here it is.

One request, one record, one charge — the same price as an account lookup, because it is the same amount of work.

What you are not charged for

	What happens here
Tweets that are gone	Deleted, protected, withheld, or mistyped IDs produce one row marked chargedForThis: false. Nothing is billed.
Empty or placeholder rows	If the tweet did not come back, no tweet row is written.
The free plan	Same code path, same fields. No demo mode, no row cap, no nulls in place of data.

What this Actor cannot do

• No reply threads, likers, or quote-tweet lists for a tweet. X does not expose those to logged-out clients, and this Actor deliberately does not use logged-in accounts to get around that.
• No keyword or hashtag search. Same restriction.
• No timelines. To pull an account's recent tweets — with engagement filters and incremental runs — use the X (Twitter) Profile & Tweets Scraper.

How it stays working

X rotates the internal query identifiers its own web app uses. This Actor reads them from X's live frontend at runtime and caches them for six hours; if a call is rejected it re-reads them and retries once. No login is used anywhere, which is why it is not exposed to the account-ban failures that take login-based scrapers offline.
