Read full description

A scraper that extracts every quote tweet for a given X (Twitter) post and returns structured records per quote tweet containing full text, identifiers and URLs, creation timestamps, conversation/thread identifiers for reconstruction, engagement metrics (likes, retweets, replies, quotes, views, bookmarks), and author profile data (display name, username, follower counts, verification status). The connector uses cursor-based pagination and resume cursors to capture large quote chains across multiple runs, enabling bulk collection and chronological traversal of quote-tweet activity for engagement and reach analysis.
