## Workflow

```
Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Build search query string
- [ ] Step 2: Run tweet-scraper
- [ ] Step 3: Poll for SUCCEEDED
- [ ] Step 4: Fetch and deliver dataset
```

### Step 1: Build Search Query

- Hashtag search → `#keyword`
- Exact phrase → `"exact phrase"`
- Boolean → `word1 AND word2 -exclude`
- From account → `from:username`
- Mention → `@username`

### Step 2: Run the Actor


**Recommended — run_actor.js (handles waiting, output, and file saving automatically):**
```bash
# Quick answer (prints table to chat)
node scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "apidojo~tweet-scraper" \
  --input '{"param": "value"}'

# Save as CSV
node scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "apidojo~tweet-scraper" \
  --input '{"param": "value"}' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_results.csv --format csv

# Save as JSON
node scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "apidojo~tweet-scraper" \
  --input '{"param": "value"}' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_results.json --format json
```
> `APIFY_TOKEN` must be set in environment or `.env` file.

**If Apify MCP is available:**
```
Tool: apify:run-actor
Actor: "apidojo~tweet-scraper"
Input:
{
  "searchTerms": ["<query>"],
  "maxItems": 200,
  "since": "<YYYY-MM-DD>",
  "lang": "<lang_code>"
}
```

**REST API fallback:**
```bash
curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~tweet-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms": ["<query>"], "maxItems": 200}'
```

Save `id` as `RUN_ID`. Poll until `status = SUCCEEDED`:
```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" | grep '"status"'
```

Fetch results:
```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID/dataset/items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN&format=json"
```

### Step 3: Handle Edge Cases

- **0 results**: Query may be too narrow, misspelled, or language-filtered. Broaden term, remove language filter, extend date range.
- **< 20 results**: Try removing `since`/`until` constraints. Some low-volume terms have sparse data.
- **Duplicate tweet IDs**: Deduplicate by `id` field before delivering.
- **Suspended/deleted accounts**: Tweets from suspended accounts return with empty author fields — flag these rows.

## Output Format

```
# Tweet Dataset: "<query>"
Total collected: N | Date range: SINCE – UNTIL | Language: LANG

| Tweet ID | Author | Text (truncated) | Likes | Retweets | Replies | Timestamp |
|----------|--------|-----------------|-------|----------|---------|-----------|
| ...      | ...    | ...             | ...   | ...      | ...     | ...       |

Full dataset: N rows × 15 fields
Available fields: id, text, author_id, author_username, likeCount, retweetCount,
replyCount, quoteCount, lang, createdAt, tweetUrl, media, isRetweet, isQuote, source
```

## Troubleshooting

**Empty results for a valid hashtag:** Twitter API indexing lag — try again after 15 minutes.
**Rate limit error:** Reduce `maxItems` to 100 and retry.
**Timeout on large requests:** Set `maxItems: 500` max per run; chain multiple runs with date ranges for larger datasets.
