What is X.com (Twitter) API Hub?

X.com (Twitter) API Hub is a robust Twitter automation tool and Twitter Scraper designed for social media managers, growth hackers, and developers. Unlike simple scrapers, this Actor serves as a complete command center. It allows you to extract Twitter data, automate posts, manage your social graph (followers/following), and perform complex maintenance tasks like bulk deleting tweets.

It acts as a secure wrapper around the official X API, giving you advanced capabilities like threading, batch operations, and stateful monitoring without writing a single line of Python code.

Why use this X.com API Hub?

This Actor combines the power of the official API with Apify's cloud infrastructure. Please note that X.com restricts certain features based on your API subscription tier.

Feature Availability by Tier:

Feature	Description	Required X API Tier
📝 Post Tweets	Create tweets, threads, and upload media.	Free ($0/mo)
🗑️ Delete Tweets	Remove old tweets by ID.	Free ($0/mo)
👤 User Lookup	Get details of your own profile.	Free ($0/mo)
🦅 The Scout	Lead Generation. Search and rank users.	Basic ($100/mo)
🐕 The Watchdog	Monitoring. Listen for new keyword mentions.	Basic ($100/mo)
🧹 The Janitor	Unfollow. Analyze graph and remove non-mutuals.	Basic ($100/mo)

⚠️ Important: If you are on the Free Tier, you can only use Posting and simple Management tools. To use "The Scout" (Search), you must have a Basic Tier subscription or higher to avoid 429 Rate Limit errors.

FAQ and Troubleshooting

Is it legal to scrape X.com?

This Actor uses the official X API, meaning it is fully compliant with X's technical standards. However, you must adhere to X's Terms of Service regarding spam and data usage. We provide safety limits (like maxUnfollows) to help you stay safe, but you are responsible for how you use the tool.

Do I need the $100 Basic Tier?

For some actions (like post_tweet), the Free tier is sufficient. For advanced reading (like search_recent_tweets or "The Scout"), the Basic tier is generally required by X.

How do I integrate this with Zapier?

You can use the Apify integration on Zapier. Set up a "Watch for new items" trigger to connect "The Watchdog" monitoring to Slack, Email, or your CRM.
