X (Twitter) Link & Domain Mentions Scraper - Who Shares a Site

Find every X (Twitter) post that links to a domain or a specific page. Enter your site, a competitor's, or any article URL and get the posts sharing it, with the full text, engagement numbers, and author profile - so you know who is talking about you even when they never tag you. No login or cookies required.

What you get

One row per post that links to a target:

• Matched URLs - the exact links in the post that point at your domain or page (with t.co links expanded)
• Post text, timestamp, language, post URL, and whether it is a reply, quote, or retweet
• Engagement - likes, retweets, replies, quotes, views, and bookmarks
• Hashtags used alongside the link
• Author - username, display name, bio, location, follower count, verification, profile picture and profile URL
• Filters for date range, minimum likes, language, replies, retweets, and any extra X search operators
• Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets from the Apify console

Use cases

• Untagged brand monitoring - most people share a link without @-mentioning the brand; this catches them
• Backlink and PR tracking - see which posts and accounts are driving traffic to a launch, article, or landing page
• Competitor intelligence - who shares your competitors' sites, how often, and with what sentiment
• Content performance - measure how far a blog post or press release spread on X and who amplified it
• Influencer discovery - find high-follower accounts already linking to sites in your niche
• Lead generation - people sharing a competitor's product page are warm prospects

How to use

1. Enter one or more Domains or URLs - example.com for a whole site (subdomains included) or https://example.com/blog/post for one page
2. Choose Latest or Top sort order
3. Optionally set a Since / Until date range, Minimum likes, Language, or Extra search operators such as -from:yourbrand to hide your own posts
4. Set Max posts per domain/URL (default 100; 0 for no limit)
5. Run the actor - results appear in the Dataset tab

Retweets are excluded by default so each share is counted once at its source.

FAQ

Do I need to log in or provide cookies? No. No login, no cookies, no risk to your own account.

Does it catch shortened links? Yes. X stores the expanded destination of every t.co link, and search matches on that, so bit.ly-style links that redirect to your domain will not match, but t.co wrappers will.

Why are some posts missing that I know exist? X search only indexes public posts and can lag for very new ones. Protected accounts are never included.

How do I track @-mentions rather than links? Use the X User Mentions Scraper.
