X (Twitter) Profile & Tweets Scraper

Profile card plus the latest tweets of any public X account, with the full engagement set: likes, retweets, replies, quotes, bookmarks and views.

One flat price per row. No per-request fee, no start fee, no minimum charge.

Why this one

The niche prices small runs badly. Reading one account with its 10 latest tweets costs, by the published pricing of each Actor on 18 Sep 2026:

Actor	What you pay for one account + 10 tweets
This Actor	$0.0031
apidojo/twitter-profile-scraper	$0.0380
apidojo/twitter-scraper-lite	$0.0700

The difference is not the per-row rate, it is the overhead: those Actors add $0.016 per profile, $0.016 per request, $0.05 for a single tweet by URL, or a $0.02–$0.10 minimum per run. On a small watch run 82% of that bill is not data. Here there is no such fee, so a run that reads five accounts every hour stays in cents.

What one run returns

Measured on 10 accounts of very different sizes on 18 Sep 2026 (tools/measurements.json):

• 10 of 10 accounts returned data, 0 failures.
• 56 tweets, median 5.5 per account (minimum 5, maximum 7).
• Views present on 56 of 56 tweets.
• Profile row: 15 of 18 fields filled (median). Tweet row: 15 of 18 (median).

Account size does not change this: NASA (92.3M followers) returned 5 tweets, apify (15.8K followers) returned 6.

Honest limits

• X serves the latest 5–10 tweets on a public profile page. There is no pagination for a signed-out reader, so this Actor cannot export tweet history. If you need thousands of old tweets, use a full-timeline scraper.
• Search and hashtag pages return zero tweets to a signed-out reader (checked both from a laptop and from the Apify cloud), so there is no keyword search here.
• Protected accounts and accounts that do not exist return no data, and the run says so by name instead of finishing green and empty.

This is a watch tool: point it at the accounts you care about and run it on a schedule.

Fields

Profile row — handle, name, url, user_id, description, location, followers_count, following_count, tweets_count, is_blue_verified, verified_type, is_protected, avatar_url, banner_url, affiliates_count, highlighted_tweets, created_at_ms.

Tweet row — tweet_id, url, handle, text, created_at_ms, lang, favorite_count, retweet_count, reply_count, quote_count, bookmark_count, view_count, possibly_sensitive, mentions, links, media, place.

Watch mode

Turn on Only changed and the run returns only what is new or changed since its previous run, labelled NEW or UPDATED with the changed fields listed.

Likes, retweets and views are deliberately not part of the change fingerprint: they move every minute on a live tweet, so watching them would mark every tweet as changed on every run and a watch run would quietly bill like a full one.

Empty runs

A run that collects nothing charges nothing and says why by name in the run log and in the REPORT record: no account given, every value invalid, both outputs switched off, a tweet filter with tweets switched off, every account unreachable, everything removed by filters, or nothing changed since the last run.
