Separate media collection from post analysis
The leading downloader lists tweetId, tweetUrl, mediaType and mediaUrl. Those fields suit media-reference collection; inspect the lookup entry when your analysis requires post text, authors and engagement.
For discovery by topic, the keyword search entries list searchTerm alongside text, author.username and createdAt. Compare their Store listings with the search behaviour your project requires.
Check specialist outputs against the job
The screenshot generator lists targetUrl, captureMode and status, while the article announcement collector lists articleId and bodyAvailable. Check the exact output before treating a visual capture or announcement record as a source of article text.
The ranking combines fit, core-field coverage, result price, recent success rate, adoption and freshness. Since the listed Actors share the same advertised result price, their output differences deserve particular attention.
Compare the units behind API charges
The official X API charges by returned resource, with separate Post and User rates and a qualifying own-account rate. Its self-serve pay-per-use access also has a monthly Post-read cap.
Before comparing an Actor's result price with API pricing, identify what each returned record represents. A media record, a Post and a User are different units, so use the official pricing documentation alongside the Store listing.
Questions people ask
Why does a media downloader lead the X ranking?
Twitter (X) Media Downloader has the highest combined score under the published formula. For post analysis, compare the text and engagement coverage of the lookup and search entries before choosing.
Which entry should I inspect for known post links?
X Post, Reply & Profile Lookup by Link or ID is the lookup-focused entry. Its published schema includes text, author.username, createdAt and likeCount, making those useful starting points for an output check.
