How to download X media

New to Apify? Create a free account first. The free plan needs no credit card & gives $5 to spend each month. At $0.00015 per media row, $5 pays for up to 33,000 media rows before platform usage. Then come back here & press Try for free.

1. Open Xquik's X (Twitter) Media Downloader in Apify Console.
2. Add handles to twitterHandles or post URLs to startUrls.
3. Pick sources & turn on downloadMedia to store files.
4. Set maxItems to cap delivered rows, then click Start.
5. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the Apify API.

startUrls & profileUrls take each URL as a plain string or as a { "url": "..." } object.

{ "profileUrls": ["https://x.com/nasa", { "url": "https://x.com/OpenAI" }] }

profileUrls & tweetIds work as targets too.

Input

{
  "twitterHandles": ["OpenAI"],
  "sources": ["profiles"],
  "downloadMedia": true,
  "maxItems": 10000
}

One target is enough. Turn on downloadMedia to store files. Files above 80 MB stay URL-only.

Turn on includeSubtitles to get the subtitles of posts in tweetIds or startUrls. Each post whose video has captions adds 1 row with every caption track. A post without video or captions adds no row & costs nothing.

{ "tweetIds": ["2104593672624886205"], "includeSubtitles": true }

Small runs that go well skip run-report & save Apify usage. Turn on alwaysSaveRunRecords to write it on every run.

Output

Rows include availability, metadata & action URLs. Stored rows add storedMediaUrl & downloadStatus: "stored". Stored Media Files opens the stored records. downloadMedia skips a file when X flags it or its post. It also skips a file when X leaves out possiblySensitive. Those rows keep downloadUrl & have downloadStatus: "url-only".

Examples use sample values. Results reflect live data. A photo row looks like this.

{
  "type": "photo",
  "width": 1200,
  "height": 675,
  "altText": "Sample alt text",
  "sourceTarget": "OpenAI"
}

A subtitles row has resultType: "subtitles" & its caption tracks in tracks.

{
  "resultType": "subtitles",
  "tweetId": "2104593672624886205",
  "tracks": [
    {
      "language": "en",
      "name": "Sample captions.srt",
      "autoGenerated": false,
      "url": "https://video.twimg.com/subtitles/sample.vtt",
      "text": "Sample caption text.",
      "cues": [{ "startMs": 0, "endMs": 3370, "text": "Sample caption text." }]
    }
  ]
}

autoGenerated is true when X transcribed the audio itself. url links the track's WebVTT file. Media filters leave subtitles rows in. With downloadMedia on, a subtitles row has downloadStatus: "url-only".

Output columns

8 inputs shape each row after the run reads it. They run no code & change no price.

Field	What it does
fields	Keep only these fields, in the order & spelling you write
omitFields	Drop these fields & keep the rest
renameFields	Move a field to a column with a new name
flatten	Turn each nested object into top-level columns
fillMissingFields	Fill a kept field a row lacks with null. On by default
joinFields	Turn each of these lists into 1 text value
joinSeparator	Text between joined items. The default is a comma & a space
constantFields	Add a column with the same text on every row

• Use a dot for a field inside an object. Case & underscores do not matter.
• Every row keeps its id.
• With fields, a field a row lacks arrives as null. Every row then has the same columns.
• A wrong field name stops the run before it reads & charges nothing.
• If names cannot be checked, the run reads on & lists unseen names last.
• The run ignores a map function or jq filter written for another Actor.

How much does it cost to download X media?

Every Apify plan costs $0.00015 per delivered row. Apify bills your platform usage separately.

For more volume, pick an Apify plan with more prepaid usage.

• One charge per delivered data row. Diagnostics are free in diagnostics.
• A subtitles row is 1 row, whatever its track count.
• No start, URL, file or quality fee.
• Deduplication runs before billing.

Limits & recovery

Interrupted extraction writes a free partial diagnostic. Available results stay intact. Read availableResults, failedTargets, retryable & nextAction before you retry. A successful Actor exit confirms delivery, not complete extraction.

The run status names every cause of an early stop. stopCauses lists each cause with its own message, retryable & nextAction. The causes are target_not_found, target_suspended, target_failed, pagination_safety_limit, reply_reach & deadline_reached. target_suspended names the accounts X suspended. reply_reach means X served only part of a reply thread. A missing or suspended target joins the list only when another cause stopped the run. The run is retryable when any cause is.
