📌 Overview

The X (Twitter) Tweet Scraper collects tweets from any list of X / Twitter @handles or profile URLs and returns each tweet with complete metadata: likes, retweets, replies, quotes, bookmarks and views, plus hashtags, mentions, links, media, language and the post date. It paginates each timeline to pull hundreds of tweets per profile.

It needs no login, no cookies and no API key — it reads only public data through residential proxies, so there's zero risk to any X account. With no headless browser, it's a fast and low-cost way to build large tweet datasets.

✅ Add many handles and raise maxTweetsPerProfile to assemble an analysis-ready tweet dataset in a single run.

📖 Output field reference

⚙️ How it works

1. You provide X @handles or profile URLs.
2. The actor resolves each profile and walks its public timeline with cursor pagination.
3. Each tweet is parsed into a clean record with full engagement metrics.
4. Your retweet / reply filters are applied and results stream to the dataset.

No login, no cookies, no API keys — and no X account is ever used or risked.

❓ FAQ

Is this an X / Twitter API alternative?

Yes. It pulls a profile's tweets with full engagement without the official X / Twitter API, a developer account, app keys or the API's low free-tier read caps — just paste handles and run.

Does it need login or cookies?

No. The Actor uses public guest-token access — no login, no cookies you provide and no developer API key. No X account is involved, so there's zero ban risk.

How many tweets can I get per profile?

Hundreds — it paginates the public timeline with cursor pagination and you control depth with maxTweetsPerProfile. Run many handles in one go for a large dataset.

Are view counts included?

Yes — the view count is captured whenever X exposes it, alongside likes, retweets, replies, quotes and bookmarks.

Can I exclude retweets or replies?

Yes — toggle includeRetweets and includeReplies independently to get only the original tweets you want.

Can I scrape tweets without an API key or login?

Yes. This is a Twitter scraper without API key — it uses public guest-token access over residential proxies, so you scrape tweets without login, cookies or a developer account, and with zero ban risk.

How do I export tweets to CSV or JSON?

Every run builds a tweet dataset you can export to CSV, JSON, Excel or HTML, or pull straight from the API and webhooks — ideal for a tweet engagement dataset.

Is this a Twitter timeline scraper?

Yes. Point it at any @handle and it walks the public timeline with cursor pagination to pull hundreds of tweets per profile with full engagement metrics.
