## What it does

The skill manages queries against Twitter search using the `apidojo/tweet-scraper` Apify actor. It pulls 15 fields per record, capturing tweet text, author handles, like and retweet counters, timestamps, and direct URLs.

Execution works through `scripts/run_actor.js` saving to CSV or JSON, or via the `apify:run-actor` tool when using the Apify MCP server. Available parameters handle language codes, user verification, coordinate bounds, and minimum reply counts.

Without an `APIFY_TOKEN` environment variable set, runs fail immediately. Large extractions need a ceiling of `maxItems: 500` per run to avoid network timeouts.
