X (Twitter) Tweet Scraper - Search by Query, Hashtag, User

Search tweets on X (Twitter) by keyword, hashtag, user, date, or engagement - export them as JSON, CSV, or Excel. No login or developer account required.

What you get

• Tweet ID, full text, URL, language, and creation timestamp
• Engagement metrics - likes, retweets, replies, quotes, views, bookmarks
• Author details - username, display name, follower count, verification status
• Reply / quote / retweet context - original tweet IDs and conversation IDs
• Cursor-based pagination - resume large extractions across multiple runs

Free tier vs. paid

Free runs are capped to help cover data costs:

• 25 tweets 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 Tweets setting is honored in full and runs are unrestricted.

Use cases

• Brand and competitor monitoring on X
• Sentiment analysis and audience research
• Lead generation - find people tweeting about your niche
• Trend tracking around hashtags, cashtags, or events
• Influencer discovery - surface accounts driving engagement on a topic

How to use

1. Enter a Search Query using Twitter's advanced search syntax (examples below)
2. Choose Sort Order - Latest for chronological, Top for highest engagement
3. Set Max Tweets (default 100; set 0 for unlimited)
4. Run the actor - one tweet per row in the Dataset tab
5. To fetch the next page, open the Key-value store tab → copy the NEXT_PAGE_ID value → paste it into Page ID on your next run

Pagination

If your search has more results than Max Tweets allows, the actor saves a resume cursor to the default Key-value store under the key NEXT_PAGE_ID.

1. Open the Key-value store tab on the run page
2. Copy the value of NEXT_PAGE_ID
3. Start a new run and paste it into Page ID

When NEXT_PAGE_ID is null, the search is fully exhausted.

Input options

Sort Order	select	Latest (default) or Top
Max Tweets	integer	Tweet cap per run - default 100, 0 for unlimited
Page ID	string	NEXT_PAGE_ID from the previous run's Key-value store, to resume pagination
