How do I use X Community Scraper to scrape Community data?

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 row, $5 pays for up to 33,000 rows before platform usage. Then come back here & press Try for free.

Follow these steps in Apify Console.

1. Open a task example or the Input tab.
2. Paste Community URLs into startUrls or IDs into communityIds.
3. Pick resources & add filters, such as sinceDate or minLikes.
4. Set maxItems, then click Start.
5. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

Each recipe below is a complete input.

Get Community info & recent posts

{
  "communityIds": ["1493446837214187523"],
  "resources": ["info", "tweets"],
  "maxItems": 200
}

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

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://x.com/i/communities/1493446837214187523",
    { "url": "https://x.com/i/communities/1493446837214187523" }
  ]
}

Collect the Top posts

{
  "communityIds": ["1493446837214187523"],
  "resources": ["tweets"],
  "postsOrder": "Top",
  "minLikes": 50,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Set postsOrder to Top for the posts X ranks highest. Add "media" to resources for the Media tab.

Search a Community's posts

{
  "communityIds": ["1493446837214187523"],
  "resources": ["search"],
  "query": "pricing",
  "queryType": "Latest",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Export members & moderators

{
  "communityIds": ["1493446837214187523"],
  "resources": ["members", "moderators"],
  "minFollowers": 1000,
  "maxItems": 1000
}

Member filters apply to member & moderator rows. Filtered rows never reach the dataset, so you never pay for them.

Find members by name

{
  "communityIds": ["1493446837214187523"],
  "memberNames": ["marckohlbrugge"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

X checks up to 10 matching accounts per name, as X's member search does. Each member found is 1 communityMember row with its communityRole. A run with memberNames reads no other resource unless resources names it.

Find Communities by keyword or topic

{
  "searchTerms": ["artificial intelligence"],
  "topics": ["Technology"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

Each found Community carries its rules, creator, admin & member profiles. Set includeDetails to false for a faster run with the short record. Turn on includeSuggested for the Communities X suggests, which can differ per run, or listTopics for every topic & its subtopics.

How much does it cost to scrape X Communities?

Xquik's X Community Scraper costs $0.00015 per delivered row on every Apify plan. Apify bills your platform usage separately. Xquik applies one charge per delivered data row. Diagnostics are free in the diagnostics output.

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

• You need no Xquik subscription.
• You pay no separate start, Community, resource or query fee.
• A found Community costs 1 row, with or without its full record.
• Filters & deduplication run before billing. You never pay for filtered or duplicate rows.
• Apify maximum-total-charge settings cap delivered rows.

A run that hits a problem, or a large run, also writes a run-report record. A small run that goes well skips it & saves Apify usage. Turn on alwaysSaveRunRecords to write it on every run.

To cap what a run can spend, see Run options.

Empty, partial & stopped runs

Xquik's X Community Scraper explains empty, partial & stopped runs for free. The run status says why the run stopped. It also counts charged results & targets read.

Empty results

An empty run's status says to check your targets & filters. Filtered rows never use up your result limit. A run that reads every target & gets no row back writes no record. Its status says why & what to change. The Actor returns only public Communities that X exposes. Available fields vary by Community.

Partial runs

Interrupted extraction writes a free partial diagnostic. Delivered rows stay in the dataset. Read availableResults, failedTargets, retryable & nextAction before you retry. A successful Actor exit confirms delivery, not complete extraction.

Stop causes

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_failed, pagination_safety_limit & deadline_reached. A missing target joins the list only when another cause stopped the run. The run is retryable when any cause is. The Actor adds no time limit of its own.

Input

The Input tab lists every option. Give Community URLs or IDs, keywords, topics, or turn on includeSuggested or listTopics. Every other field is optional.

Field	What it does
startUrls	Community URLs on x.com
communityIds	Numeric Community IDs
resources	info, tweets, media, search, members, moderators
query	Keyword for the search resource
queryType	Latest or Top order for keyword search

Migrate from another community Actor

The names ranking & sort work as postsOrder. Top or Relevance reads the Top posts. When you set one of them & postsOrder, the value in postsOrder wins. The run log names the field that lost.

Pick the right inputs

• For a quick look, keep the default info & tweets resources.
• For lead lists, pick members with minFollowers & verifiedOnly.
• For product research, pick search with a query such as bug or pricing.
• For creative research, pick media & set mediaType.
• To discover Communities, send searchTerms or topics without IDs.

Output

Each row is a JSON object. Every row includes sourceTarget for the input Community, keyword or topic. Xquik's X Community Scraper keeps source fields & invents no values. The dataset schema gives each field a title & description.

Examples use sample values. Results reflect live data. A Community info row looks like this.

{
  "resultType": "community",
  "sourceTarget": "1493446837214187523",
  "id": "1493446837214187523",
  "name": "Sample Community",
  "description": "A place to share what you build.",
  "member_count": 1200,
  "moderator_count": 4,
  "primary_topic": "Technology"
}

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

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.

Run options

• Set Apify's max total charge to cap run cost. Leave maxItems high to get the most rows that budget allows.
• Set maxTotalChargeUsd in the Apify API, or Max cost per run in Console.
• Put all your Communities in 1 run. Each run pays Apify the same start cost.
• maxItemsPerTarget caps the rows of each Community resource.
• maxConcurrency sets how many Community resources run at once. The default is the fastest safe setting.

Select latest for every run to get every published fix. Saved tasks & schedules keep their own build choice, so keep it on latest.
