X Post Quotes Scraper

Gather quote posts that reference a specific original X post—the same kind of items people see when they open the “Quotes” view for a post. Each dataset row is one quote tweet (the new post that embeds the original), including text, author, engagement, optional location, and—when present—a large nested quoted_status_result subtree for the embedded original post.

Who it’s for

• Social & comms teams tracking commentary on a flagship post.
• Researchers & analysts who need structured exports instead of scrolling the quote list.
• Data workflows that join quote posts with your own content or campaign ids.

What you can do with it

• Target one original post by its numeric id (from the post URL).
• Collect many quote posts in one run until you reach the limit you set or the list ends.
• Match every row to that original post via requestedSourcePostId, plus scrapedAt on each row.

How it works (in plain terms)

You enter the original post’s numeric id (not the @handle). The tool loads quote posts in successive batches until your maximum is reached or there are no more to load—you do not need to manage paging yourself.

Input

Field	Required	What it means
Original post ID (tweetId)	Yes	Which post’s quote posts you want to export.
Maximum results (maxResults)	No	Upper limit on how many quote-post rows to collect (default 50).

Output

• One row per quote post (until your cap). Rows are often very large because the embedded original post is included in full.
• Post identity & stats: __typename (Tweet), rest_id, posting source, views (count and state when shown), edit_control, grok_analysis_button, is_translatable, unmention_data.
• Author: core.user_results.result is a User with avatar, core (name/handle), legacy profile fields, optional professional (creator categories), dm_permissions, media_permissions, relationship_perspectives, verification, tipjar_settings, etc.
• Quote post body: legacy includes full_text, created_at, conversation_id_str, display_text_range, entities, bookmark_count, engagement counters, lang, is_quote_status, quoted_status_id_str, quoted_status_permalink, user_id_str, and optionally place (geo polygon, name, country) when the quote post is geotagged.
• Embedded original: quoted_status_result.result is typically another full Tweet (same general shape—core, legacy, media in extended_entities, views, etc.). This block alone can be hundreds of lines.
• Export metadata: requestedSourcePostId repeats the original post id you asked for; scrapedAt is when that row was saved.

Optional fields vary by post. Details may change as X updates its product.

Sample output (one dataset row, heavily trimmed)

The JSON below keeps real ids and text from a typical row but omits most of quoted_status_result (the embedded original) and shortens core.user_results.

Good to know

• Private, deleted, or limited posts may return few or no quote rows.
• Respect X’s rules and applicable laws when using exported data.
