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.
  • Export for CRM/BI: Pipe the structured comment data into your CRM or business intelligence stack for lead tracking or reporting.
