Xquik is the world's fastest & cheapest X (Twitter) scraper service with the most complete X data. Xquik's X Article Scraper turns long-form X Articles into Markdown & text. It adds covers, authors, dates & metrics. Most other Apify Actors charge before filtering or deduplicating. Xquik charges only for delivered, unique, filter-matching results.

Extract long-form X Articles from post URLs or numeric Tweet IDs. You pay $0.00015 per delivered article, & Apify bills platform usage separately. You need no X API key or login.

Xquik is an independent third-party service. Not affiliated with X Corp. "Twitter" and "X" are trademarks of X Corp.

Article data & format

• Markdown with headings, lists, bold, italic, links & images, without HTML.
• contents blocks that keep the source formatting.
• Post URLs & numeric Tweet IDs in the same run.
• Every Article an account published, from its handle or profile URL.
• Duplicate removal before billing.

Xquik's X Article Scraper never guesses link metadata. Apify shows Markdown as text.

How to scrape X articles

New to Apify? Create a free account first. The free plan needs no credit card & gives $5 to spend each month. At $0.00015 per article, $5 pays for up to 33,000 articles before platform usage. Then come back here & press Try for free.

1. Open Xquik's X Article Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Paste Article post URLs into startUrls or Tweet IDs into tweetIds. To list an account's Articles, add its handle to twitterHandles.
3. Set maxItems to cap delivered Articles, then click Start.
4. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the Apify API.

startUrls takes each URL as a plain string or as a { "url": "..." } object.

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://x.com/github/status/2082201573976056245",
    { "url": "https://x.com/satyanadella/status/2066182223213293753" }
  ]
}

Input

Field	Purpose	Default
startUrls	Public Article post or profile URLs	None
tweetIds	Numeric Article Tweet IDs	None
twitterHandles	Accounts whose Articles to list	None
maxItems	Global delivered-Article cap	100000
dedupeAcrossTargets	Drop repeated Article IDs before billing	true
maxConcurrency	Parallel independent Article reads	100
alwaysSaveRunRecords	Save run-report on every run	false

Output

The Output tab opens Articles. Results links to rows. Run Report links to counts, completion, duration & anomalies. A run that hits a problem, or a large run, writes the report. A small run that goes well states its counts in the run status instead. Turn on alwaysSaveRunRecords to write it on every run.

Examples use sample values. Results reflect live data. An Article row includes these fields.

{
  "markdown": "# Article title\n\nPlain **Article** text",
  "bodyMarkdown": "Plain **Article** text",
  "bodyText": "Plain Article text",
  "contents": [
    {
      "type": "paragraph",
      "text": "Plain Article text",
      "inlineStyleRanges": [{ "offset": 6, "length": 7, "style": "Bold" }]
    }
  ]
}

Rows add author, source, cover, time & metrics. Export JSON or tables.

A handle in twitterHandles, or a profile URL in startUrls, lists that account's Articles newest first. Each is an articlePreview row with the Article's title, previewText, coverImageUrl, articleId, dates & post metrics. X lists no body there, so the row has no markdown or contents. Run its tweetId to get the full Article.

Output columns

8 inputs shape each row after the run reads it. They run no code & change no price.

Field	What it does
fields	Keep only these fields, in the order & spelling you write
omitFields	Drop these fields & keep the rest
renameFields	Move a field to a column with a new name
flatten	Turn each nested object into top-level columns
fillMissingFields	Fill a kept field a row lacks with null. On by default
joinFields	Turn each of these lists into 1 text value
joinSeparator	Text between joined items. The default is a comma & a space
constantFields	Add a column with the same text on every row

• Use a dot for a field inside an object. Case & underscores do not matter.
• Every row keeps its id.
• With fields, a field a row lacks arrives as null. Every row then has the same columns.
• A wrong field name stops the run before it reads & charges nothing.
• If names cannot be checked, the run reads on & lists unseen names last.
• The run ignores a map function or jq filter written for another Actor.

Name a computed column in fields or renameFields to add it.

Column	Formula
totalEngagement	likeCount + replyCount + retweetCount + quoteCount. A missing count adds 0
engagementRate	totalEngagement × 100 ÷ the author's followers, to 4 decimals
engagementPerView	totalEngagement × 100 ÷ viewCount, to 4 decimals

totalEngagement is null for a row without those counts. A rate is null when its divisor is missing or 0.

How much does it cost to scrape X articles?

Every Apify plan costs $0.00015 per delivered article. Apify bills your platform usage separately.

For more volume, pick an Apify plan with more prepaid usage.

• One charge per delivered data row. Diagnostics are free in diagnostics.
• No start fee.
• Deduplication runs before billing.

Limits & recovery

Xquik's X Article Scraper returns only public Articles that X exposes.

Interrupted extraction writes a free partial diagnostic. Available results stay intact. Read availableResults, failedTargets, retryable & nextAction before you retry. A successful Actor exit confirms delivery, not complete extraction.

The run status names every cause of an early stop. stopCauses lists each cause with its own message, retryable & nextAction. The causes are target_not_found, target_suspended, target_failed, pagination_safety_limit & deadline_reached. target_suspended names the accounts X suspended. A missing or suspended target joins the list only when another cause stopped the run. The run is retryable when any cause is.
