Single Tweet Scraper

Give it tweet links or tweet IDs, get one full record per tweet — with the author 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
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

What you get

Real output for the NASA tweet above:

{
  "itemType": "tweet",
  "lookedUp": true,
  "type": "tweet",
  "id": "2090487779268407625",
  "url": "https://x.com/NASA/status/2090487779268407625",
  "text": "Paint with all the colors of the (stellar) wind 🎨 …",
  "isLongform": false,
  "lang": "en",
  "createdAt": "2026-08-20T16:05:03.000Z",
  "replyCount": 214, "retweetCount": 1032, "quoteCount": 61,
  "likeCount": 6940, "bookmarkCount": 312, "viewCount": 1661487,
  "isRetweet": false, "isQuote": false, "isReply": false,
  "hashtags": [], "cashtags": [], "mentions": [],
  "urls": ["https://science.nasa.gov/…"],
  "media": [{ "type": "photo", "url": "https://pbs.twimg.com/media/….jpg", "altText": "…" }],
  "authorUserName": "NASA",
  "author": { "userId": "11348282", "userName": "NASA", "followers": 92359333, "verifiedType": "Government", "…": "…" }
}

• 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 embedded (userName, name, description, followers, following, tweetsCount, verifiedType, isBlueVerified, profilePicture). X's post page carries only this compact record, so the author's location, website, createdAt and banner come back null here — run X Profile Data on the handle when you need those. Turn it off with includeAuthorProfile: false for a slimmer row.
• Since X rebuilt its web app in October 2026, source and conversationId are no longer provided and come back as null.

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 fields blanked out for free users.

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

In October 2026 X rebuilt its web app: post pages are now rendered on X's servers with the data embedded in the page. This Actor reads that embedded data directly — one page per tweet, no login, no API key, no guest token, no browser. It is plain parsing with no language model in the data path, so your output cannot drift between runs.
