🔧 Input

To start scraping X.com profiles, configure the input form. You can scrape profiles based on:

• startUrls - Direct URLs to X.com profiles or tweets (e.g., https://x.com/username or https://x.com/username/status/1234567890)
• twitterHandles - List of X.com usernames (without @) to scrape

• maxItems - Maximum number of profiles to collect (Free users: Limited to 10. Paid users: Optional, max 1,000,000)

• filterByProfessionalType - Filter by account type: Creator or Business. Leave empty for all.

Note: When providing a tweet URL, the scraper will extract the tweet author's profile.

Here's what the input configuration looks like in JSON:

{
    "twitterHandles": ["elonmusk", "apify"],
    "maxItems": 10
}

Or using direct URLs:

{
    "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://x.com/elonmusk" },
