Overview

Twitter Hashtag Post Scraper turns a small set of keywords or hashtags into structured public-post records that are ready to filter, compare, and analyze. Each record keeps the matched term, search-result category, post and author links, author name, publication time, post text, media links, advertising indicator, and reported engagement counts.

This dataset helps teams move from scattered social posts to a consistent evidence table. It preserves the text and the surrounding context needed to compare conversations, identify visible authors, inspect recurring themes, and understand which collected posts attracted more engagement at the time of collection.

Data notes

Records come from publicly visible Twitter search results and reflect what the collector could access when the run took place. A record represents one collected post associated with one submitted term and search-result category. The same post address is used to remove duplicates across retrieved result pages. Post timestamps retain the source's displayed UTC offset. Reply, retweet, like, and view counts are snapshots reported at collection time and can change afterward; they are preserved as reported text rather than recalculated values. Image links may point to an image or a video thumbnail, and a reported video link may be the same as the post link. Private, deleted, restricted, and sign-in-only content is not covered.

What the results look like

Each record is one collected public post:

The output also includes “Matched term,” “Result category,” “Search page URL,” “Author profile URL,” “Image URL,” “Video URL,” “Ad indicator,” “Reply count,” and “Retweet count.”

Use cases

  • For hashtag conversation research, group records by “Matched term” and review “Post content” to identify recurring topics, claims, and phrases.
  • For visible-author discovery, compare “Author name” and “Author profile URL,” then use “Post URL” to inspect the original public context.
  • For engagement comparisons, evaluate “Reply count,” “Retweet count,” “Like count,” and “View count” together instead of treating one interaction measure as the whole response.
  • For content-format analysis, compare “Image URL,” “Video URL,” and “Post content” to see which collected posts pair text with reported media.

Scope and boundaries

Each run accepts 1 to 3 keywords or hashtags and up to 200 scroll-downs; retrieval is capped at 10,000 public post records per run.

  • Good for
  • Use it when you need a structured snapshot of public Twitter posts associated with a small set of keywords or hashtags.
  • Use it for hashtag monitoring, content research, author discovery, or engagement comparisons.
  • Do not use for
  • Do not use it for private, deleted, restricted, or sign-in-only posts because only content visible to the collector is covered.
  • Do not use it when complete historical coverage or a guaranteed post count is required because availability can change over time.

Failure handling

Failure and retry behavior declared by the developer. We recommend including it in your system prompt when integrating.

  1. 1If a run stops before completion, retry the same small input once; if it stops again, use fewer terms or a smaller scroll-down value.
  2. 2An empty result can mean the term has no visible matching posts or access was temporarily limited; verify the spelling and retry later.

Integration

This App can be integrated via MCP, API, SDK, or file export. All channels share the same capabilities and pricing. Every request authenticates with the Authorization: Bearer header using an API key (long-lived, created in the Data Hub Console); MCP clients can also sign in with OAuth, no key required. More options such as CLI and Skill are on the way. This App runs asynchronously and can be canceled midway: After you cancel, the run stops. Records already delivered are kept and billed.

With the MCP (Model Context Protocol), you can call this App directly from AI clients like Claude and Cursor. Pick your client and auth mode, then copy the config below.

Client config

Replace the value after Bearer with your long-lived API key. Works in any client, CI, or headless environment.

Don't want to edit configs by hand? Copy the install prompt and paste it into any AI client. It will complete the setup its own way. (The prompt asks the AI to request your API key from you, so credentials never end up in chat history or shared configs.)
