Extract Comments from an X Post with Airtop

When a form is submitted or another workflow calls it, Airtop opens an X post and returns its comments as structured data.

What it does

README # 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.
