Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## X / Twitter Phone Number Scraper The **X / Twitter Phone Number Scraper** is an Apify actor designed to extract phone numbers from **X (Twitter) profiles, tweets, and business pages**.

Configure your search, select your target country, and launch the **X (Twitter) Phone Number Scraper** on **Apify** now. # Actor input Schema ## `keywords` (type: `array`): A list of keywords to search for. (Example: John, marketing, etc.) ## `platform` (type: `string`): Select platform. ## `country` (type: `string`): Select a country to scrape related phone numbers. ## `maxPhoneNumbers` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of phone numbers to collect. The scraper will stop once this limit is reached. Setting a higher limit allows for more potential results but doesn't guarantee reaching that number. This helps save costs by controlling scraping time. ## `engine` (type: `string`): Choose scraping engine. 🚀 Cost Effective (New): Uses residential proxies with async requests for faster, cheaper scraping. 🔧 Legacy: Uses GOOGLE\_SERP proxy with traditional selectors - more reliable but slower and more expensive. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Configure proxies for this Actor. ## Actor input object example ```json { "keywords": [ "marketing", "founder" ], "platform": "Twitter", "country": "United Kingdom (+44)", "maxPhoneNumbers": 20, "engine": "legacy" } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "keywords": [ "marketing", "founder" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("scraper-mind/twitter-phone-number-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
