Find Twitter/X posts, profiles, and trending topics

Twitter Scraper helps you search Twitter/X for public posts about a topic, brand, person, or trend, discover matching public profiles through People search, and export current trending topics for a verified region. Start with the prefilled Search query, keep Maximum items at 25, and review matching posts in minutes.

• ✅ Flexible post discovery - combine post search URLs, search syntax, authors, mentions, hashtags, dates, language, location, media, link, and engagement filters in one run.
• ✅ Profile search - discover matching Twitter/X accounts from one or more People search queries with profile identity, bio, counts, and ranking provenance.
• ✅ Conversation context included - keep quoted-post context and reply relationships when X exposes them, so each match is easier to review.
• ✅ Search-mode control - choose newest-first latest results, X top-search ordering, or Latest + Top with post-ID dedupe.
• ✅ Trending topics - export current Twitter/X trends for Worldwide or a verified country-level region without scraping posts for each trend.
• ✅ Small first run - one search filter plus a low Maximum items cap is enough to test the search before you widen it.
• ✅ Partial-result guardrail - later-page failures can still return rows already collected.

🏆 Benefits

• 🔁 Turn manual Twitter/X searching into a repeatable export you can hand to analysts, founders, or ops workflows.
• 🔗 Keep canonical post URLs and IDs so your team can review, join, or dedupe results later.
• 👤 Build profile discovery lists from query-ranked Twitter/X account matches, with each row tied back to the submitted query.
• 🧠 Feed raw text, timestamps, authors, and engagement counts into your own scoring, alerts, or AI prompts.
• 💬 Preserve quoted-post and reply-to context when X exposes it, so downstream review keeps more conversation context.
• 🛟 Keep useful rows even when a later page fails, instead of losing everything from the run.

🚀 Quick start

1. Open the Input tab and keep Search query as the prefilled openai, paste a supported post search URL, or replace it with your own query.
2. Keep What to collect set to Search posts for post rows, switch to Search profiles and add one or more People search queries, or switch to Trending topics and choose a verified Trend region.
3. Keep Include original posts, Include quote posts, and Include replies on. Leave Include reposts off unless you also want reposts without added text.
4. Keep Search mode set to Latest posts for newest-first results, switch it to Top posts for X top-ranked ordering, keep the date fields empty unless you need a time window, and set Maximum items across the whole run to 25 for a small first run.
5. Run the actor, then review the dataset rows in the finished run or through the API.

📊 Output

See the full Output tab for the complete contract.

Search Posts runs emit post rows. Search Profiles runs emit profile rows. Trending Topics runs emit trend rows; the actor does not mix post, profile, and trend rows in one dataset.

Params

Important

• Search Posts runs must provide at least one positive selector: postSearchUrls, searchQuery, mentions, fromUsers, hashtags, or toUsers.
• Supported post search URLs are X/Twitter search URLs, profile URLs, list URLs, and status URLs. Status URLs search for posts quoting that status; they do not fetch a single post or thread.
• Unsupported non-empty X/Twitter URLs stop cleanly before scraping so users can fix the input.
• Search Profiles runs must provide at least one profileSearchQueries value. They emit one row per matched People search result and do not scrape profile timelines, followers, following, or profile-about pages.
• Trending Topics runs use verified region choices only and do not automatically scrape posts for each trend.
• At least one of shouldIncludeOriginalPosts, shouldIncludeReposts, shouldIncludeQuotePosts, or shouldIncludeReplies must stay true.
• Latest mode emits newest-first results. Top mode preserves X top-search ordering. Latest + Top runs both and dedupes by post ID.
• maxNbItemsToScrape: 0 emits all matching rows after filtering and ordering.
• You only provide search filters. Account rotation and proxy selection stay managed inside the actor.

🔍 Error handling

• Invalid input combinations fail before any Twitter/X requests start. This includes runs with no positive selector, runs with all four content-type switches turned off, or date windows where the start date is after the end date.
• If the actor cannot initialize the required Apify proxy path, the run fails before sending live Twitter/X traffic.
• When Twitter/X rejects or exhausts one internal account, the actor rotates to another account and retries the page when possible.
• If Twitter/X cannot complete the first search page after bounded recovery, the run completes gracefully with 0 rows and a clear status so users are not charged for missing output.
• If a later page fails after rows were already collected, the run still finishes successfully with partial results and a concise status message explaining the early stop.

Changelog

• 0.3: Added post search URLs, advanced search query support, Latest + Top search, link/media/location filters, richer flat post fields, and cleaner handled input stops for unsupported X URLs.
• 0.2: Added Search Profiles for query-based Twitter/X profile discovery with flat profile rows and search provenance.
• 0.1: Added Trending Topics, verified trend regions, grouped target-specific inputs, 256 MB runtime default, and pay-per-event pricing.
