Workflow
Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Validate list URL
- [ ] Step 2: Run twitter-list-scraper
- [ ] Step 3: Poll for SUCCEEDED
- [ ] Step 4: Deliver member datasetStep 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~twitter-list-scraper" \
--input '{"param": "value"}'
# Save as CSV
node scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "apidojo~twitter-list-scraper" \
--input '{"param": "value"}' \
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.csv --format csv
# Save as JSON
node scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "apidojo~twitter-list-scraper" \
--input '{"param": "value"}' \
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.json --format jsonAPIFY_TOKENmust be set in environment or.envfile.
If Apify MCP is available:
Tool: apify:run-actor
Actor: "apidojo~twitter-list-scraper"
Input:
{
"listUrl": "https://twitter.com/i/lists/<LIST_ID>",
"maxItems": 500
}REST API fallback:
bash
curl -X POST \
"https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~twitter-list-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"listUrl": "https://twitter.com/i/lists/<LIST_ID>"}'Save id as RUN_ID. Poll until status = SUCCEEDED:
bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$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
- Private list: Actor returns 0 results — inform user the list is not publicly accessible.
- List deleted or moved: Validate URL returns 200 before running actor.
- Very large lists (> 5000 members): May timeout — use
maxItems: 2000and paginate.
Output Format
# Twitter List Members: <list name>
List URL: <url> | Members collected: N

0 results: List is private or URL is malformed. Verify the list is public. Partial results: Large lists may be rate-limited — retry with smaller maxItems.
