Hi Makers. Im looking for a way to create scenario where it watches for new tweets from specific user/topic and use chatgpt to repost the tweet with source mention. Sometjing like “According to @mention new iphone 16 pro will use this and that”. Whats the easiest way of doing it?
You can find a suitable Twitter Search API on RapidAPI, so that you do not have to perform web scraping.
If you want to do web scraping, here are your options:
So you basically need to “visit” the site yourself to get the content. This is called Web Scraping.
Web Scraping
For web scraping, some apps you can use are ScrapingBee and ScrapeNinja to get content from the page.
I’ve used ScrapeNinja, and you can use jQuery-like selectors in the extractor function.
ScrapeNinja also can run the page in a real web-browser, loading all the content and running the page load scripts so it closely simulates what you see, as opposed to just the raw page HTML fetched from the HTTP module.
If you want an example, take a look at Grab data from page and url - #5 by samliew
AI-powered “easier” method
You can also use AI-powered web scraping tools like Dumpling AI.
This is probably the easiest and quickest way to set-up, because all you need to do is to describe the content that you want, instead of inspecting the element to create selectors, or having to come up with regular expression patterns.
The plus-side of this is that such services combine BOTH fetching and extracting of the data in a single module (saving operations), and doing away with the lengthy setup from the other methods.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
