X (Twitter) Post Replies Scraper

This Apify Actor extracts replies from X (Twitter) posts (tweets) provided as input URLs. It retrieves reply content, authors, timestamps, media, and engagement metrics. Perfect for social media monitoring, sentiment analysis, and trend tracking. 🚀

Features

• 🔍 Scrape replies from multiple posts (tweets)
• 👤 Extract author profiles and metadata
• 🕒 Retrieve timestamps, media, and conversation context
• 🔢 Limit the number of replies per post

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
postUrls	string[]	✅	Array of X (Twitter) post URLs to extract replies from.
resultsLimit	number	❌	Maximum number of results to retrieve (for each post url). If not set, only a few of the first replies will be returned.
includeOriginalPost	boolean	❌	If true, the original post will be included as a first reply. False by default.

Example Input

{
    "postUrls": [
        "https://x.com/ZippoJeje/status/1905584213761351970"
    ],
    "resultsLimit": 20,
    "includeOriginalPost": true
}

Output Data

The actor returns an array of JSON objects with extracted replies and related data.

Input URLs, errors and charges

Every successful result includes inputUrl, the exact original postUrls entry, including when X redirects it. postUrl, replyUrl and their IDs keep their existing meanings.

An invalid or unsupported input URL produces one row containing only inputUrl and error: "INVALID_URL". Confirmed unavailable content produces the same two-field row with error: "PAGE_UNAVAILABLE". Other URLs continue to be processed. Successful results have no error field. Empty results, temporary connection problems, login requirements and rate limits do not by themselves mean the content is unavailable.

Error rows are free: they do not trigger a result-item charge or count toward resultsLimit. Successful results retain normal result-item charges. The existing initialization charge still applies. Supported inputs are X/Twitter post URLs such as https://x.com/username/status/123.
