## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## X Scraper Studio

Paste mixed X / Twitter targets and collect **tweets, people, replies, followers, communities, lists, or trends** as clean JSON. No login. No cookies. No proxy.

The first screen is the whole product: paste, pick a job (or leave Auto), set a cap, Start.

### What you paste

One item per line. Mix freely.

| Line | Auto does |
| --- | --- |
| `@NASA` or `https://x.com/NASA` | Profile tweets |
| `https://x.com/NASA/status/123` or a tweet ID | That tweet |
| `#AI` or `climate summit` | Search tweets |
| Community URL | Community posts |
| List URL | List posts |
| `https://x.com/NASA/followers` | Followers of that profile |

Need a different slice from the same paste? Change **What should this run collect?** first.

### Jobs

**Auto — tweets from what you paste** is the default.

Lock a job when every line should mean the same thing:

- Profile · Tweets, replies they posted, media, likes, mentions, about, followers, following, verified followers
- Search · Tweets & hashtags, people, communities
- Tweet · Details, replies, quotes, full thread, who liked, who reposted, long article
- Community · Posts, members, moderators
- List · Posts, members, followers
- Trends (paste can be empty — pick a region)

Wrong-type lines become `itemType: skip` rows. The run continues.

### Input

| Field | Default | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Paste | — | Required except for Trends |
| Job | Auto | |
| Stop after this many (per line) | 50 | Per pasted line, not the whole run |
| Posted after / before | empty | Tweet jobs |
| Latest or Top | Latest | Search / feeds |
| Replies / Reposts / Media / Language | Include / any | Tweet jobs |
| Minimum likes | empty | People search uses this as min followers |
| Checkmark accounts only | off | |
| Trends region | Worldwide | India, US, UK, and other listed countries |

### Output

Each dataset item has `itemType`:

- `tweet` — text, metrics, author, media, url
- `user` — handle, bio, counts, profile url
- `trend` — name, rank, region, search query
- `skip` — original line + `skipReason`

Filter CSV in Sheets with `itemType=tweet`.

Console views: Tweets, People, Trends, Skipped lines.

### Example

```json
{
  "paste": "@NASA\n#AI\nclimate summit",
  "job": "auto",
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

Followers of several accounts:

```json
{
  "paste": "@NASA\n@ISRO\n@esa",
  "job": "followers",
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

India trends:

```json
{
  "job": "trends",
  "trendRegion": "india",
  "maxItems": 30
}
```

### Notes

- Max results is **per line**. Three handles at 50 = up to 150 tweets.
- Dates apply to tweet / search / timeline jobs, not to follower lists or trends.
- One failed line does not fail the run.
- Built for Apify. Set `DATA_API_KEY` on the actor as a secret (actor owner only). Run users never see it.

# Actor input Schema

## `paste` (type: `string`):

Mix freely — Auto reads each line. <code>@NASA</code> or a profile link → their tweets. A tweet link or ID → that tweet. <code>#AI</code> or <code>climate summit</code> → search. Community and list links work too. Leave empty only for Trends (set region below).

## `job` (type: `string`):

@handles → their tweets · #hashtags / text → search · tweet links → that tweet. Leave Auto unless you need another slice — scan by prefix: Profile, Search, Tweet, Community, List.

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

Cap for each pasted line, not the whole run. Example: 3 lines × 50 = up to 150 rows.

## `fromDate` (type: `string`):

Keep posts on/after this day (YYYY-MM-DD). Ignored for people lists, profile cards, and trends.

## `toDate` (type: `string`):

Keep posts on/before this day (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave empty for no end date.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Latest = monitoring. Top = research. Used for search and similar feeds.

## `replies` (type: `string`):

Filters tweet results only. Does nothing to followers, likers, profile cards, or trends.

## `reposts` (type: `string`):

Include, hide, or keep only reposts / retweets.

## `media` (type: `string`):

Limit to posts with a certain attachment, or text-only.

## `language` (type: `string`):

Keep posts in one language. Any = no language filter.

## `replyScope` (type: `string`):

Used when collecting replies on a tweet. All = direct + nested. Direct only = top-level replies.

## `minLikes` (type: `integer`):

Drop weaker posts. For people search, this is treated as a minimum follower count.

## `verifiedOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep verified authors / profiles only.

## `trendRegion` (type: `string`):

Used only when the job is Trends. Paste can be empty.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "paste": "@NASA\\n#AI\\nclimate summit",
  "job": "auto",
  "maxItems": 50
}' |
apify call social_developer/x-scraper-studio --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,social_developer/x-scraper-studio"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
