Click "Try it!" to load the template.
2. Fill in your parameters
On the input screen, enter the criteria you want to use - just like on Twitter/X's Advanced Search page:

3. Run the scraper
- Click "Start", then choose a run mode. (Greyed-out modes are not supported for this template.)
- Octoparse will simulate browsing Twitter/X, applying your search query, scrolling through results, and extracting matching tweets.
4. Monitor & handle interruptions
- If a sub‑task shows status "Stopped" (e.g. due to network glitch), re‑run that sub‑task to continue scraping.
- Depending on how many tweets and how far back the date range goes, scraping may take time.
5. Export your data
- Once scraping completes, go to the "Data Preview" or output section to review.
- Export the results - e.g. as CSV or Excel - for further analysis, filtering, or storage.
💡Tips
- Use fewer keywords per run for higher accuracy.
- For large datasets, break keywords or dates into multiple runs.
