Twitter Scraping

Auth Setup

All scrapers require an authtoken cookie from x.com (DevTools -> Application -> Cookies -> copy authtoken value).

Node.js Scraper API

npm install xactions -- all functions from src/scrapers/index.js.

import { createBrowser, createPage, loginWithCookie, scrapeProfile } from 'xactions';

const browser = await createBrowser();
const page = await createPage(browser);
await loginWithCookie(page, AUTH_TOKEN);

const profile = await scrapeProfile(page, 'nichxbt');
await browser.close();
Function Purpose
scrapeProfile(page, username) Profile data (bio, followers, following)
scrapeFollowers(page, username, {limit}) Follower list
scrapeFollowing(page, username, {limit}) Following list
scrapeTweets(page, username, {limit}) User's tweets
searchTweets(page, query, {limit}) Search results
scrapeHashtag(page, tag, {limit}) Hashtag tweets
scrapeThread(page, tweetUrl) Thread tweets
scrapeMedia(page, username, {limit}) Media URLs
exportToJSON(data, path) / exportToCSV(data, path) File export

Browser Console Scripts

Standalone IIFEs -- paste into DevTools console on x.com. No dependencies.

Script File Navigate to
Download video src/scrapers/videoDownloader.js Tweet with video
Export bookmarks src/scrapers/bookmarkExporter.js x.com/i/bookmarks
Unroll thread src/scrapers/threadUnroller.js Any thread
Find viral tweets src/scrapers/viralTweets.js User profile
Scrape followers scripts/scrapeFollowers.js x.com/USER/followers
Scrape following scripts/scrapeFollowing.js x.com/USER/following
Scrape profile scripts/scrapeProfile.js User profile
Scrape search scripts/scrapeSearch.js Search results
Scrape hashtag scripts/scrapeHashtag.js x.com/hashtag/TAG
Scrape likes scripts/scrapeLikes.js x.com/USER/likes
Scrape likers scripts/scrapeLikers.js Any tweet
Scrape replies scripts/scrapeReplies.js Any tweet
Scrape media scripts/scrapeMedia.js User media tab
Scrape DMs scripts/scrapeDMs.js x.com/messages
Scrape notifications scripts/scrapeNotifications.js x.com/notifications
Scrape list scripts/scrapeList.js Any X List
Scrape bookmarks scripts/scrapeBookmarks.js x.com/i/bookmarks
Export to CSV scripts/exportToCSV.js After any scrape
Link scraper scripts/linkScraper.js Any timeline
Quote retweets scripts/scrapeQuoteRetweets.js Any tweet

Interactive browser toolbox (recommended for console scraping)

For paste-in-console scraping, prefer scripts/twitter/scraper-toolbox.js: an on-page control panel (start/pause/stop, live filters, user exclusions, keyword rules) that captures X's own GraphQL responses, so counts are exact integers and long posts are untruncated. Exports JSON/CSV/Markdown/TXT/HTML and copies to clipboard. Works on any timeline: profile, search, list, likes, bookmarks, home. Docs: scripts/twitter/README-scraper-toolbox.md.

MCP Scraping Tools

All scrapers available via the MCP server for AI agents:

Tool Description
xgetprofile Scrape user profile
xgetfollowers Get follower list
xgetfollowing Get following list
xgettweets Get user tweets
xsearchtweets Search tweets
xgetthread Unroll thread
xdownloadvideo Extract video URL

Notes

  • Always call browser.close() when done with Node.js scrapers
  • Browser scripts stop on page navigation -- stay on the page while running
  • All scripts support JSON and CSV export
  • Increase limit parameter for deeper scraping (default varies by function)
  • Rate limiting is built in -- avoid reducing delays below defaults
