## 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 (Twitter) Community Tweets Scraper

Extract every post from any X (Twitter) Community — full text, author, and engagement metrics — in one run. No login, no cookies.

### What you get

For every post in the Community:

- **Tweet fields** — tweet ID, URL, full text, creation date, and language
- **Engagement metrics** — retweets, replies, likes, quotes, views, and bookmarks
- **Author info** — username, user ID, display name, blue-verified status, follower count, and profile picture URL
- Paginated output: each run returns a cursor so you can fetch the whole feed across multiple runs
- Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets directly from the Apify console

### Use cases

- **Niche audience research** — understand what a topic-focused Community talks about
- **Content monitoring** — track posts inside a Community you care about
- **Lead generation** — surface active, engaged accounts posting in a Community
- **Trend detection** — spot emerging discussions before they hit the main timeline

### How to use

1. Enter the **Community ID or URL** — either the numeric ID or the full `https://x.com/i/communities/<id>` link (it's in your address bar when viewing a Community)
2. Set **Max Tweets** (default 100; set 0 for unlimited)
3. Run the actor — results appear in the **Dataset** tab

#### Fetching more (pagination)

After a run finishes, open the **Key-value store** tab → copy the `NEXT_PAGE_ID` value → paste it into **Page ID** on your next run. If `NEXT_PAGE_ID` is `null`, you've fetched the whole feed.

### Output format

Each dataset record:

```json
{
  "communityId": "1493446837214187523",
  "tweetId": "1866332309399781537",
  "url": "https://x.com/user/status/1866332309399781537",
  "text": "Full post text…",

  "lang": "en",
  "retweetCount": 12,
  "replyCount": 4,
  "likeCount": 231,
  "quoteCount": 1,
  "viewCount": 15430,
  "bookmarkCount": 8,
  "isReply": false,
  "conversationId": "1866332309399781537",

  "authorName": "Example",

}
```

### Notes

- Free-tier runs are limited; upgrade to a paid plan to remove the cap and scrape unlimited Community posts.

# Actor input Schema

## `communityId` (type: `string`):

Numeric X Community ID or full Community URL (https://x.com/i/communities/<id>). Find it in the address bar when viewing a Community on x.com.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum tweets to return. Set 0 for unlimited (auto-paginates across the whole Community feed).

## `pageId` (type: `string`):

Optional. Paste NEXT\_PAGE\_ID from a previous run's Key-value store to fetch the next page.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "communityId": "1493446837214187523",
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

One row per post: communityId, tweetId, url, text, createdAt, lang, engagement counts, and author info.

## `nextPageId` (type: `string`):

NEXT\_PAGE\_ID record in the default key-value store. Paste into Page ID on the next run to resume; null when the feed is exhausted.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "communityId": "1493446837214187523"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("seemuapps/x-community-tweets-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);
});
