Twitter scraping: retrieving all replies to a Tweet

Hi all! I'm using Apify for the first time, specifically the Twitter Scraper.

I want to retrieve tweets by profile name, and get all the replies to the retrieved tweets. I feel like this is likely possible but I can't seem to get the right config to make it happen. Can anyone help please?

Hello @jamescole ,
Twitter recently disabled advanced search function for public usage, which I believe was the way how most scrapers were obtaining the data. I can see there might be way to obtain replies without search function.

I suggest you to write a comment to the Issues tab on the specific Actor page and ask for this feature from the developer.

Yes, it's all a bit of a mess in Twitter-land at the moment. Thanks for the advice. I've asked on the actor author's issue page.

Hey James, was this ever resolved?

This is possible right now, just use the replies depth - https://apify.com/quacker/twitter-scraper/input-schema#repliesDepth
