Extracting Comments from an X Post

Use Case

Engaging with conversations on X (formerly Twitter) is critical for brands and individuals monitoring sentiment, leads, or emerging trends. Manually collecting comments is time-consuming—this automation enables scalable extraction of comment data to inform your outreach or analysis.

What This Automation Does

This automation extracts comments from a specified X post, with the following input parameters:

• airtop_profile: The name of your Airtop Profile connected to X.
• x_post_url: The URL of the X post to extract comments from.
• max_number_of_comments: The maximum number of comments to retrieve.

How It Works

1. Takes input via a form or another workflow.
2. Normalizes the input values.
3. Creates a new browser session using Airtop.
4. Navigates to the provided X post.
5. Uses a prompt to extract up to the specified number of comments, returning:
   • Author name
   • Author profile URL
   • Comment text

Setup Requirements

1. Airtop API Key — free to generate.
2. An Airtop Profile connected to X (requires one-time login).

Next Steps

• Pair with X Monitoring: Use this with the X monitoring automation to detect relevant posts and extract discussion context automatically.
• Feed into Analytics: Combine with summarization or sentiment analysis tools to understand audience response at scale.
