## Pricing

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
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 Profile Scraper | $0.15/1K | Pay-Per-Result

Scrape public X profiles from handles, numeric IDs, or profile URLs. Optionally
add profile posts, replies, media, and likes. No X API key or login is required.

### Features

- Mix profile URLs, handles, and numeric IDs.
- Extract rich bio, follower, following, verification, location, website, image,
  banner, account-age, post-count, and media-count fields.
- Add maximum-coverage Profile Posts and With Replies rows.
- Add media, likes, followers, following, or verified followers.
- Filter optional posts by date, media, verification, repost status, and
  metrics.
- Filter optional profiles by audience, activity, age, and public metadata.
- Run independent profiles concurrently.
- Deduplicate canonical rows before billing.
- Preserve source attribution and partial results.

### Use Cases

- Research public accounts and audiences.
- Compare creators, brands, and organizations.
- Export public profile timelines for analysis.

### Input

```json
{
  "twitterHandles": ["OpenAI", "apify"],
  "includeTweets": true,
  "includeReplies": false,
  "maxItems": 10000
}
```

Set optional resource flags only when you want those rows. The global `maxItems`
cap includes profiles and every selected resource.

### Output

Profile rows use `resultType: "profile"`. Optional rows use `profileTweet`,
`profileReply`, `profileMedia`, `profileLike`, `profileFollower`,
`profileFollowing`, or `profileVerifiedFollower`. Every row keeps
`sourceTarget`. Public fields remain in the Xquik REST response shape.

### Pricing

Paid Apify plans cost
**$0.15 per 1,000 delivered rows**. The free-plan
anti-abuse tier costs **$15 per
1,000 rows**. The Apify pricing box is authoritative.

- One charge per delivered dataset row, including at most 1 zero-output
  diagnostic.
- No start, profile, query, or platform-usage fee.
- Deduplication runs before billing.
- Apify maximum-total-charge settings cap delivered rows.

### Latest Build

Always use `latest` unless you intentionally need a pinned historical build.

### Public Tasks

Choose from 50 public tasks for common workflows. Pair them with Xquik's 128
REST operations.

Sample values are illustrative. Responses reflect source data at run time.

### Reliability

Independent targets run concurrently. Automatic profile timelines pass opaque
coverage cursors unchanged. Legacy cursors retain standard pagination. Accepted
rows, billing state, and fingerprints survive Apify migration. The Actor has no
self-imposed run timeout.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://x.com/OpenAI"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call xquik/x-profile-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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