📤 Output Format

The scraper returns an array of post objects in JSON format with details such as text, author, and metrics.

Input URLs, errors and charges

Every successful result includes inputUrl, the exact original profileUrls entry, including when X redirects it. postUrl remains the post address and profileUrl remains the post author’s profile address; it may differ from the requested profile for reposts.

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 profile URLs such as https://x.com/username or https://x.com/@username, and community URLs such as https://x.com/i/communities/123.
