## What it does

The skill fetches post history from X profiles via the `apidojo/twitter-profile-scraper` actor on Apify. Input takes profile URLs or handles without the at-sign, plus filters: a `start` and `end` date range, image-only posts, replies, a minimum reply count, and a `maxItems` cap. Output carries tweet text, metrics (likes, retweets, replies, views) and author data.

Each tweet then gets a score: engagement weighted 0.50, views weighted 0.30, media presence weighted 0.20. The total sorts posts into three tiers, from high impact down to low engagement. Runs go through `node scripts/run_actor.js`, and results can be saved as CSV or JSON. There is a REST API fallback and an Apify MCP path that calls the actor directly.

You need an Apify token — the REST example reads it from `$APIFY_TOKEN`. The first 40 tweets sit in the base price, then each tweet costs $0.0004, so long histories add up. A locked account returns zero tweets, which is worth checking before you draw conclusions about a content strategy.
