Common questions about operation and data.

The JSON array includes writer, time, text, url, and category for up to 10 English posts. Each item is labeled with a category or [NA] if not relevant. The structure is designed for easy ingestion by downstream automation or analytics. If you need additional fields, you can extend the classifier to include sentiment or entity mentions in future runs.

Up to 10 posts are extracted per run, filtered for English language. Posts that do not meet basic relevance criteria can be pruned. The agent discards non-matching results and returns only the relevant subset as a JSON array.

Yes. The AI agent uses your Airtop profile to authenticate to X before performing searches. This ensures access to live results and preserves session context for consistent scraping. Credentials are used only for the automated session and are not stored long-term by the agent.

Yes. The agent accepts a user-defined list of categories. You can adjust the taxonomy to match your research topics, campaigns, or seed keywords. Classification is performed against the provided category set, with non-matching posts labeled as [NA].

The agent filters for English-language posts. Non-English posts are skipped to ensure consistent parsing and categorization. If you need multilingual support, consider extending the classifier with language detection and translation steps.

The AI agent runs within your authenticated Airtop session and does not store credentials beyond the active run. Data handling is limited to the necessary extraction and JSON output. You control the inputs (profile, URL, categories) and can terminate the session after each run to minimize exposure.
