X (Twitter) Scraper API
The cheapest and fastest way to fetch tweets available today. Battle-tested infrastructure used by tens of thousands of customers including enterprise teams. Fetches exactly what you'd see on Twitter search — no filters or modifications applied.
Setup
This actor requires an Apify account on a paid plan — it will not work via the API on the free plan.
- Sign up / log in at apify.com/?fpr=yhdrb
- Subscribe to a paid plan at apify.com/pricing?fpr=yhdrb — without this, API calls will be rejected.
- Get your API token from console.apify.com/account/integrations and set it:
export APIFY_TOKEN="apify_api_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
Sync (short runs)
