X Posts Scraper & API: Twitter Profile Tweets & Post by Link

X Posts Scraper & API: Twitter Profile Tweets & Post by Link

Scrape the tweets of any public X (Twitter) profile, newest first, about the latest 800 per account, and any single post by its link. Every post comes with its full text (long posts too), likes, reposts, replies, quotes, bookmarks and views, photos and video files, links, hashtags, mentions, language, the post a reply answers, and the original of a repost or quote.

{ "profiles": ["nasa", "https://x.com/apify"], "maxPostsPerProfile": 200, "since": "7 days ago" }

No X account, no cookies, no browser, no API key. Schedule it every hour with Only new posts to get the new posts of the accounts you follow as alerts. Search by keyword and the replies tab are not part of this Actor.

2. Set Posts per account (up to what X shows, about 800), and optionally Posts since / until, Only posts with photos or videos, Minimum likes, Skip replies, Include reposts
3. Run, then download the dataset as CSV, Excel, JSON or HTML. Tabs: Posts, Posts with media and links, Not found

Why this Actor

📜 Full text	Long posts in full, links expanded instead of t.co
🎬 Media files	Photo links and the best-quality video file of every post
📊 Views and bookmarks	Not only likes and reposts
🔔 New-post alerts	Only new posts returns just what an account posted since the previous run
🗓️ Date range	Stops reading as soon as it reaches your start date: you pay only for posts you asked for
🔁 Reposts and quotes with originals	The reposted or quoted post comes in full inside the row
💰 $0.11 per 1,000 posts	No subscription, no X API plan

Get new posts every hour

1. Add the accounts, turn on Only new posts, give the task a Monitor name
2. Save it as a task and add a schedule, e.g. every hour
3. The first run returns the latest posts as a baseline. Every later run returns only newer posts: send them to Google Sheets, Slack or email with an integration

The memory is kept in your account (key-value store x-posts-state). Use a different Monitor name for each task.

FAQ

Can it search tweets by keyword or hashtag? No. X shows search results to logged-in users only, and this Actor does not log in. It reads the posts of the accounts you give it and posts by link.

How far back can it go? X shows about the latest 800 posts of an account (for @nasa that is five months). The Actor reads until your limit, your start date or the end of what X shows. For a longer history, run it every day or hour with Only new posts and keep the results.

Are replies included? The profile timeline contains the account's own posts, reposts and its own threads. Replies to other people's posts are on the replies tab, which X shows to logged-in users only.

Do I need an X (Twitter) account? No.

Private accounts? Their posts are not public: you get an error row, free of charge.

Use with the API and AI agents

Run it via the Apify API from Python, Node.js or any HTTP client as a tweet scraper API, or connect it to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents through the Apify MCP server: "Summarise what @nasa posted this week and which posts got the most views."
