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):

# 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": ["call for speakers [TOPIC]", "looking for speakers [TOPIC]", "CFP [TOPIC]", "speaker applications [TOPIC]"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

REST API fallback:

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apidojo~tweet-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms": ["call for speakers [TOPIC]", "looking for speakers [TOPIC]", "CFP [TOPIC]", "speaker applications [TOPIC]"], "maxItems": 100}'

Wait for SUCCEEDED. Fetch dataset:

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID/dataset/items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN"

Step 3: Classify Results

classification: KEYNOTE (large event, competitive) | PANEL (group format) | PODCAST_GUEST (audio interview) | VIRTUAL_SUMMIT (online event) | WORKSHOP (hands-on, smaller)

Step 4: Score Each Result

score = opportunity_score = (event_audience_size_signal: large=1, mid=0.6, small=0.3) * 0.40 + (deadline_is_future ? 1 : 0) * 0.35 + (topic_alignment ? 1 : 0.5) * 0.25

Step 5: Edge Cases

CFP deadlines are time-sensitive; flag any opportunity with a deadline in the past as EXPIRED; prioritize by days until deadline

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 Speaking Opportunities On Twitter
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.
