Read an account's recent posts on X

Opens an account's profile in the X app and reads its timeline: each post's text, how old it is, and its reply, repost and like counts. Signed in as you, so a protected account you follow reads like any other.

Nothing is liked, reposted, replied to or followed.

Inputs

Run it

One call. Substitute the inputs.

run_task({
  "phases": [{
    "launch": "com.twitter.android",
    "openUrl": "https://x.com/<handle_bare>",
    "goal": "The X app is showing the profile of <handle>. Keep scrolling down the profile's posts. Do not like, repost, reply, follow or open any post.",
      "maxSteps": 16,
    "collect": {
      "record": "a post on the profile's timeline",
      "fields": {
        "text": "the post text",
        "age": "how long ago it was posted",
        "engagement": "the reply, repost and like counts, if shown",
        "kind": "whether it is an original post, a repost, or a reply"
      },
      "where": "posts by <handle> are showing on the profile page",
      "count": <count>
    }
  }]
})

Poll get_task_status(task_id, wait_seconds: 30) until the status is done.

What comes back

result.collected holds one record per post, newest first, including pinned posts at the top.

Notes

• Profiles open on the Posts tab. Say 'tap the Replies tab' or 'tap Media' in the goal for those instead.
• openUrl opens the profile by deep link before the first step, as a procedure rather than a choice: asked to pick open_url itself, the operator scrolled the home feed instead. X handles x.com/<name> links in the app.
