## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 𝕏 X (Twitter) Public Post Details — No Login

Turn public X/Twitter status URLs or numeric IDs into structured records without an X account, cookies, password, or API key.

### 📤 What you get

- stable post and author IDs with canonical URLs, full text, language, timestamp, hashtags, mentions, and expanded links;
- likes, replies, reposts, quotes, views when exposed, and calculated total interactions;
- author name, handle, standard and high-resolution avatar, blue/legacy/government verification state;
- reply targets plus a normalized parent-post object with author, engagement, text, and media;
- quote context, edit history IDs, remaining edits, stale-edit state, and editable-until time;
- photos, videos, GIFs, alt text, original dimensions, duration, aspect ratio, every media variant, and highest-bitrate MP4 URL;
- bulk deduplication and `seenPostIds` checkpoints for repeat runs;
- overview and media-focused dataset views.

### 🚀 Popular use cases

- enrich saved X/Twitter URL collections;
- preserve accessible text, media and alt text for research;
- resolve quoted/reply context and edit metadata;
- validate public-post inventories in bulk;
- connect post details to moderation, CRM and analytics workflows.

### 💰 Pricing

$1 per 1,000 successfully stored public posts. Platform usage is included. A tiny Actor-start event may apply. Failed lookups are free.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call snuggly_beanie_970/x-public-post-details --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,snuggly_beanie_970/x-public-post-details"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
