X.com (Twitter) API Hub is a robust Twitter automation tool and Twitter Scraper designed for social media managers, growth hackers, and developers. Unlike simple scrapers, this Actor serves as a complete command center. It allows you to extract Twitter data, automate posts, manage your social graph (followers/following), and perform complex maintenance tasks like bulk deleting tweets. It acts as a secure wrapper around the official X API, giving you advanced capabilities like threading, batch operations, and stateful monitoring without writing a single line of Python code. ### Why use this X.com API Hub?

This Actor uses the official X API, meaning it is fully compliant with X's technical standards. However, you must adhere to X's Terms of Service regarding spam and data usage. We provide safety limits (like `maxUnfollows`) to help you stay safe, but you are responsible for how you use the tool. ### Do I need the $100 Basic Tier? For some actions (like `post_tweet`), the Free tier is sufficient. For advanced reading (like `search_recent_tweets` or "The Scout"), the Basic tier is generally required by X. ### How do I integrate this with Zapier? You can use the Apify integration on Zapier. Set up a "Watch for new items" trigger to connect "The Watchdog" monitoring to Slack, Email, or your CRM. ----- ## Related Actors Check out our other social media automation tools to build a complete growth stack: | Actor | Function | | :--- | :--- | | **Instagram Scraper** | Extract posts, comments, and user details. | | **LinkedIn Lead Finder** | Automate B2B lead generation. | | **TikTok Data Extractor** | Monitor viral trends and hashtags. | ----- ### Support If you encounter any bugs or have feature requests, please check the **Issues** tab on the Actor page.
