Search X Posts - Post [text] is cut for some posts

Support

Hello!
I have recently experimented with building an agent to search for important tweets, but I found out that not all posts are scraped with the full text. It’s hard to define the pattern, because some, even longer are displayed completely and some shorter ones aren’t.

Thanks for looking at it

Hi @PavolH,

Thanks for the post!

Could you share a couple of links, one that’s being scraped successfully and one that isn’t? That will help us better understand what might be going wrong.

Also, are you using a Scrape URL block or a Scrape X Post block?

Hi, thanks for the quick response.
I am using the “Search X Posts” block.

The following was cut:

0: {

This was not:

Is there a limit on the API's character count it can return? Otherwise, it cuts and adds "..."?
Thanks for additional analysis.

Hi Pavol,

The results we provide are what come back directly from the X API. You can see their documentation here: Recent search - X

I don’t see anything about trimming, but I am also noticing this behavior in my own tests and it seems somewhat inconsistent when they choose to truncate instead of returning the full text. As a backup, if you really need the full result, you could always use the URL and the “Scrape X Post” block to get the full text. That block does not use the X API and just does a web scrape instead, so you will always get the full result.
