Bulk-scrape recent tweets from any public X (Twitter) account — full text (including long tweets over 280 characters), media URLs, view count, like / retweet / reply / quote counts, hashtags, mentions, and author metadata — in a clean structured JSON output.

Why use this actor

• No account / no login required — just give it an X handle, an @handle, or a profile URL.
• No API key needed — get the same data the X web app shows, without paying for the X API.
• Full tweet text, not truncated — long tweets (>280 chars, premium long-form) are returned in full via the full_text field; the legacy 280-char shape is preserved for backward compatibility.
• All public engagement counters — view count, likes, retweets, replies, quotes, and bookmarks per tweet.
• Paginated timeline — automatically follows the next-page cursor so you can pull dozens of tweets per account in one run.
• Bulk input — pass a list of handles in a single run; each account is processed independently with its own error envelope.
• Stable JSON output suitable for pipelines, spreadsheets, and databases — every row carries _input, _source, and _scrapedAt envelope fields so you can join results back to your input list.

How it works

1. You provide a list of X handles (e.g. jack) or profile URLs (e.g. https://x.com/elonmusk).
2. The actor resolves each handle to the underlying account, then reads its public timeline page by page the same way the X web app does.
3. For tweets with long-form content, the full rich-text body is lifted into full_text automatically.
4. Results stream into your dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You do not need to manage scrapers, browsers, or rotating IPs — all handled internally.

Error envelope

Handles that don't exist, are suspended, or return an empty anonymous timeline surface a structured error instead of crashing the run:

{
"_input":"this-handle-does-not-exist-xyz",
"_error":"resolve_failed",
"_errorDetail":"could not resolve handle 'this-handle-does-not-exist-xyz' to user_id",
"_source":"S1-primary",
"_scrapedAt":"2026-05-18T11:04:21.570681+00:00"
}

Possible _error values: resolve_failed (handle does not exist or is unavailable), empty_timeline (account is private, suspended, or anonymous reads restricted), exception (transport-level failure after retries). Filter on _error to triage failed rows — errors are not billed.

Pricing

This actor is billed per result: $8.00 per 1,000 tweets. Each successful tweet returned = 1 result. Error rows (resolve_failed, empty_timeline, exception) are not billed.

Notes

• Protected / private accounts return one row with _error: "empty_timeline" and no tweets — anonymous access cannot see follower-only content.
• Long tweets (>280 characters, X Premium long-form) are returned with the full body in full_text; the rich-text shape (with bold/italic spans and inline-media references) is preserved under note_tweet for callers that need it.
• Pinned tweets appear first when present; chronological order of the remaining timeline is approximate.
• Pagination via the next-page cursor is followed automatically until maxTweets is reached or the timeline ends. Anonymous reads are typically capped near ~100 tweets per account before X stops returning a usable cursor.
• Media tweets carry the full extended_entities.media array verbatim (image URLs, video variants with bitrate, durations, sizes).
• For large jobs (>50 handles), enable Apify Proxy rotation to avoid per-IP rate limits.
