X (Twitter) Article to Markdown Scraper - Long Form Posts

Convert any X (Twitter) long-form Article or Notes post into clean Markdown, ready for AI, RAG, and LLM ingestion pipelines.

What you get

• Full article body converted to clean, structured Markdown - headings, lists, bold/italic/code, images, and dividers all preserved
• Title and byline prepended to the Markdown so every record is a self-contained document
• Cover image URL and preview text for quick previews or thumbnails
• Author details - username, display name, verification status, follower count
• Engagement stats - replies, likes, quotes, views
• One dataset row per article - batch convert a whole list of IDs or URLs in a single run

Free tier vs. paid

Free runs are capped to help cover data costs (this endpoint is pricier than a standard tweet lookup):

• 10 articles per run
• 3 runs per day (UTC)
• 30-minute wait between runs

Upgrade to any paid plan on the actor's pricing page to lift all three limits - your Max Articles setting is honored in full and runs are unrestricted.

Use cases

• Feed long-form X Articles into a RAG pipeline or LLM knowledge base
• Content archiving - keep a durable Markdown copy of Articles before they're edited or deleted
• Newsletter curation - pull Article bodies straight into a Markdown-based editor
• Competitive content research - track what long-form content competitors and creators are publishing
• AI agent tool input - give an agent clean Markdown instead of raw HTML or JSON

How to use

1. Enter one or more Article / Tweet IDs or URLs (numeric IDs or https://x.com/user/status/... links) - only posts published via X's Article/Notes feature will convert; regular tweets are skipped
2. Set Max Articles (default 10; 0 for unlimited, capped to the number of IDs supplied)
3. Run the actor - one Markdown document per row in the Dataset tab
4. Copy the markdown field straight into your pipeline, CMS, or knowledge base

Output format

One article per dataset row:
