## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

Updated 2026-06-28
### What you get
One record per handle, with the account's public profile and its recent tweets. Use it for influencer vetting, competitor and brand tracking, audience research and account-level datasets.
- **username**, **displayName**: the handle and display name
- **bio**: the profile description
- **followerCount**, **followingCount**: audience size and how many the account follows
- **tweetCount**: total posts (statuses)
- **mediaCount**, **listedCount**, **favouritesCount**: media posted, lists membership, likes given
- **isVerified**, **verifiedType**: verification status and type
- **location**: the self-reported profile location, when set
- **accountCreated**: when the account joined
- **profileImageUrl**, **bannerUrl**: avatar and header images
- **url**, **userId**: profile link and numeric id
- **recentTweets**: array of the account's recent tweets, each with:
- **url**, **createdAt**, **text**
- **likeCount**, **replyCount**, **retweetCount**, **quoteCount**
- **lang**, **conversationId**, **media** (images and video URLs)
- **numTweetsFetched**: how many tweets were collected for this handle
- **observedAt**: when this account was last seen by the scraper
### How it works
| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
| `handles` | One or more X usernames, with or without the @ prefix. |
| `maxTweetsPerUser` | Cap how many recent tweets to collect per handle. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Residential proxy is the default and required. X rate-limits datacenter IPs on this endpoint, so the actor rotates residential exit IPs until a request succeeds. |
### Use cases
| Use case | Who it is for |
|---|---|
| Influencer and creator vetting | Marketing and partnerships teams |
| Competitor and brand account tracking | Growth and social teams |
| Audience and reach research | Analysts and researchers |
| Account-level datasets | ML and NLP engineers |
| Lead and prospect enrichment | Sales and founders |
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which accounts can it scrape?**
Any public X (Twitter) account. Enter handles with or without the @ prefix. Protected, suspended or nonexistent accounts are returned as a record with an `error` field instead of being silently dropped.
**Does it include follower counts?**
Yes. Each record carries `followerCount`, `followingCount`, `tweetCount` and the other public profile counters, alongside the recent tweets.
**Do I need an X API key or login?**
No. The actor reads the public profile timeline, so there is no login, no developer account and no API key. A residential proxy is used to avoid rate limits and is set as the default.
**How many tweets per account?**
Set `maxTweetsPerUser`. The actor returns the account's most recent tweets up to that cap, each with full engagement counts.

# Actor input Schema
## `handles` (type: `array`):
Public X (Twitter) handles to scrape, one record per handle. Accepts @name, name, or a profile URL such as https://x.com/nasa. Add one or more.
## `maxTweetsPerUser` (type: `integer`):
Maximum number of recent tweets to keep per handle. The syndication endpoint returns roughly the last 20 tweets, so values above that are capped by what X exposes. Default 20.
## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):
Proxy used to reach X. RESIDENTIAL is required and used by default. X rate-limits (HTTP 429) every datacenter IP on this endpoint, so residential is mandatory. Residential traffic is metered per GB on your Apify plan.
