## Workflow
```
Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Define parameters
- [ ] Step 2: Run tweet-scraper
- [ ] Step 3: Filter and classify results
- [ ] Step 4: Score by quality and relevance
- [ ] Step 5: Deliver output
```
### Step 2: Run the Actor
**Recommended — run_actor.js (handles waiting, output, and file saving automatically):**
```bash
# Quick answer (prints table to chat)
node scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "apidojo~tweet-scraper" \
--input '{"param": "value"}'
# Save as CSV
node scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "apidojo~tweet-scraper" \
--input '{"param": "value"}' \
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.csv --format csv
# Save as JSON
node scripts/run_actor.js \
--actor "apidojo~tweet-scraper" \
--input '{"param": "value"}' \
--output YYYY-MM-DD_results.json --format json
```
> `APIFY_TOKEN` must be set in environment or `.env` file.
**If Apify MCP is available:**
```
Tool: apify:run-actor
Actor: "apidojo~tweet-scraper"
Input:
{
"searchTerms": ["Twitter Spaces [TOPIC]", "join my Space [TOPIC]", "hosting a Space about [TOPIC]", "upcoming Space [TOPIC]"],
"maxItems": 100
}
```
**REST API fallback:**
```bash
curl -X POST \
"https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~tweet-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"searchTerms": ["Twitter Spaces [TOPIC]", "join my Space [TOPIC]", "hosting a Space about [TOPIC]", "upcoming Space [TOPIC]"], "maxItems": 100}'
```
Wait for `SUCCEEDED`. Fetch dataset:
```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID/dataset/items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN"
```
### Step 3: Classify Results
```
classification: REGULAR_HOST (> 2 Spaces/month) | OCCASIONAL_HOST (1-2/month) | ONE_TIME (single event) | UPCOMING (announced future Space)
```
### Step 4: Score Each Result
```
score = spaces_host_score = (hosts_regularly: > 2/month = 1, 1/month = 0.6) * 0.40 + (followerCount > 2000 ? 1 : followerCount/2000) * 0.35 + (topic_alignment ? 1 : 0.5) * 0.25
```
### Step 5: Edge Cases
- **Twitter Spaces announcement tweets don't always include #Spaces — search for 'link in bio' + 'Space' or the Spaces card URL pattern (twitter.com/i/spaces/) to identify Spaces-specific tweets**
Additional fallbacks:
- **< 20 results**: Broaden search terms; remove secondary filters
- **No results**: Verify the search terms are correct; try alternate phrasings
- **Data quality issues**: Remove entries with missing key fields; note count in output
## Output Format
```
# Finding Twitter Spaces Hosts By Topic
Results: [N] | Date: [DATE]
| # | [Key Field] | [Metric 1] | [Metric 2] | [Classification] | [Score] |
|---|------------|-----------|-----------|-----------------|---------|
| 1 | [value] | [value] | [value] | [type] | [0.XX] |
## Summary
Top result: [description]
Key finding: [insight]
```
## Troubleshooting
**Too few results:** Broaden the primary search term; remove restrictive filters.
**Low quality results:** Apply minimum score threshold (≥ 0.50) to filter noise.
**Actor fails to run:** Verify API key; check actor status at apify.com/apidojo.
