# Twitter Mention Tracker Search Twitter/X posts using the Apify `apidojo/tweet-scraper` actor. ## Quick Start Requires `APIFY_API_TOKEN` env var (or `--token` flag). ```bash # Search with date range (recommended -- uses Twitter native since:/until: operators) python3 skills/twitter-mention-tracker/scripts/search_twitter.py \ --query "YourCompany" --since 2026-02-15 --until 2026-02-23 # Quick summary of recent mentions python3 skills/twitter-mention-tracker/scripts/search_twitter.py \ --query "@yourhandle" --max-tweets 20 --output summary # Search without date filtering python3 skills/twitter-mention-tracker/scripts/search_twitter.py \ --query "AI content marketing" --max-tweets 50 ``` ## Date Filtering **Important:** The `apidojo/tweet-scraper` actor's built-in date parameters are unreliable. This script embeds `since:YYYY-MM-DD` and `until:YYYY-MM-DD` directly into the search query string, using Twitter's native advanced search syntax. This ensures date filtering works correctly server-side. ## How the Script Works 1. Builds a search term with the query quoted and date operators appended 2. Calls the Apify `apidojo/tweet-scraper` actor via REST API 3. Polls until the run complete

Where does this skill come from?
From gooseworks-ai/goose-skills, a repository with 1,091 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
