## Pricing

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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 Community Scraper | $0.15/1K | Pay-Per-Result

Collect Twitter Community info, posts, keyword matches, members, and moderators
from Community URLs or IDs. Mix resources and Communities in one run. No X API
key or login required.

### Community data and filters

- Community metadata and rules when X exposes them.
- Latest Community posts.
- Keyword search with Latest or Top ordering.
- Community members and moderators.
- Post, member, and moderator filters run before billing.
- Multiple Communities and resources per run.
- Per-resource and global caps.
- Concurrent reads with saved cursor recovery.
- Duplicate rows are removed before billing.

### Input

```json
{
  "communityIds": ["1493446837214187523"],
  "resources": ["info", "tweets", "members", "moderators"],
  "maxItems": 10000
}
```

For keyword search, include `"search"` in `resources` and provide `query`.

### Output

Rows use `community`, `communityTweet`, `communityMember`, or
`communityModerator` as `resultType`. Every row includes `sourceTarget` for the
input Community. Source fields are preserved without invented values.

### Pricing

Every Apify plan costs **$0.15 per 1,000 delivered rows**. Apify bills your
platform usage separately.

- One charge per delivered dataset row, including at most 1 zero-output
  diagnostic.
- No start, Community, resource, or query fee.
- Deduplication runs before billing.

Use `latest` unless you need an older build. Choose from 50 public tasks or 128
Xquik REST operations. Examples use sample values. Results reflect live data.

### Pagination and recovery

Independent Community resources run concurrently. Pagination remains ordered
inside each cursor lineage. Accepted rows, billing state, cursors, and output
fingerprints survive Apify migration. The Actor has no self-imposed timeout.

Only public Communities exposed by X can be returned. Available fields vary by
Community.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,xquik/x-community-scraper"

    }
}

```

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).
