What Does X.com Tweets Scraper Do?

This tool collects tweet data from X.com, supporting both direct URL scraping and user timeline collection. It delivers:

• Complete tweet text and metadata
• Author profile information (username, display name, verification status, followers)
• Engagement metrics (likes, retweets, replies, quotes, bookmarks)
• Media attachments (images, videos)
• Timestamps and language information
• Reply and conversation context
• And more

Business Value: Monitor social media trends, track engagement, analyze content performance, and gather market intelligence from X.com without manual data collection.

Input

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

• startUrls - Direct URLs to tweets or user profiles (e.g., https://x.com/username/status/1234567890 or https://x.com/username)
• usernames - List of X.com usernames (without @) to scrape tweets from
• searchQuery - Optional text filter to search within tweets from specified usernames
• maxItems - Maximum number of tweets to collect (Free users: Limited to 10. Paid users: Optional, max 1,000,000)

Important Note: Due to X.com's API limitations when using guest authentication (no login required), the scraper can typically extract up to approximately 100 tweets per user timeline. This is a limitation of X.com's public API, not the scraper itself. If you need more historical tweets from a specific user, you may need to run multiple times or use authenticated access (which this scraper does not support by design).

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

{
    "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://x.com/username/status/1234567890" }
    ],
    "maxItems": 10
}

Or using search filters:

{
    "usernames": ["username1", "username2"],
    "searchQuery": "keyword",
    "maxItems": 50
}

Output

After the Actor finishes its run, you'll get a dataset with the output. The length of the dataset depends on the amount of results you've set. You can download those results as an Excel, HTML, XML, JSON, and CSV document.
