The Most Valuable Data on Earth—Locked Behind Rate Limits

Twitter/X is a real-time pulse of the internet. What people buy. What they hate. What's about to go viral. Brands would pay millions if they could tap into this firehose.

Problem: X's API costs $42,000/month for enterprise access. And they actively block scrapers. Most data tools hit rate limits within minutes.

X Scraper is Built Different:

  • Rotating Proxies: A pool of 10,000+ IPs. Bans are meaningless.
  • Human Simulation: Playwright mimics real user behavior—scrolling, pausing, clicking—to avoid detection.
  • Speed: Scrapes 50,000+ tweets per hour without triggering a single captcha.

One hedge fund client uses this to track sentiment on stocks before earnings calls. They've made 7-figure trades based on X Scraper data.

Raw Tweets Are Useless. Intelligence Isn't.

Scraping is the easy part. The magic is in what you do with the data. X Scraper runs every tweet through a custom NLP pipeline that classifies intent:

Buying SignalComplaintCompetitor MentionViral Potential

Imagine getting an alert: "47 people just complained about [Competitor]'s new pricing. 83% negative sentiment."

That's not data. That's a gift-wrapped opportunity to run a targeted ad within the hour.

Know Before the World Knows

The real power of social listening is speed. A PR crisis can explode in 15 minutes. A viral trend can die in an hour. If you're checking manually, you're already too late.

X Scraper includes a Slack/Discord Alert Bot. You set the trigger conditions:

"Alert: '[Brand Name] + terrible' spiked 600% in past 30 mins. First tweet: 'Just had the worst customer service experience at [Brand]...'"

Your team sees it in Slack. Response goes out in 10 minutes. Crisis averted—or competitor's crisis exploited.

One DTC brand caught a product defect trending on Twitter 2 hours before it hit mainstream news. They issued a recall before the story broke.
