Passo a passo
Create your Apify account
Sign up for Apify. Every account gets $5 of free credits each month, and you pay per usage after that. Once your account is created, click Go to Console.
Apifyhttps://www.apify.com?fpr=migueltorrez
Create an Apify API token
In the Console, open Settings, then API and integrations. Under the personal API token section, click Create a new token and copy it.
Connect Apify to Claude Code
Open Claude Code. Either add Apify's custom connector, or paste your Apify key into Claude Code. Claude keeps track of the key and reuses it on later runs.
Level 1: scrape trending posts in your niche
Paste the trend reader prompt, swapping "AI" for your niche. Keep the dollar cap so the test stays cheap, and keep the documentation line if Claude has never used Apify before. Wait for the run to finish.
Level 1 prompt (trend reader)Hey Claude, please use Apify to scrape 1,000 trending posts on AI from X. I want to know what people are really saying that I can use to start creating more content. Please use less than $1 of credits for this test. Before starting this, get the official Apify documentation so you don't make a mistake.
Question the trend data
Read Claude's summary of what it collected (in the video: 8 search angles with 100 queries each). Then ask follow-up questions about the angle you care about. If the first answer misses, just ask again. Turn what you find into content, for example contrarian takes on what is trending.
Follow-up questionI'm really interested in knowing more about the builder game. What are people saying mainly? What are they building with AI?
Level 2: pull one creator's posts
Open a new Claude Code session. Paste the profile URL of a creator in your niche and send the tracker prompt. Claude uses Apify to collect that person's full post history, which you can use to quote, remix or reply quickly.
Level 2 prompt (individual tracker)Hey Claude, please use Apify to scrape all of the X posts that come from this profile: [PROFILE URL]
List your creators in a Google Sheet
Create a Google Sheet listing the creators you want to follow across different niches, with their X, YouTube or Instagram profiles. This becomes the input for your daily run.
Schedule it as a daily routine
In Claude Code, click More, then Routines (in Cowork, use Schedule Tasks). Describe the morning job in plain words. Expect it to cost a few cents per day.
Routine instructionEach and every single morning, I want you to go into this Google sheet, look at all of the X profiles, YouTube profiles, Instagram profiles, and then update the database that contains all of their posts.
Fique atento a
Always give Claude a spending cap ("use less than $1 of credits for this test"). Apify charges per usage, and Claude respects the cap well.
If Claude has never used Apify, tell it to get the official Apify documentation first so it does not make a mistake.
X results include a lot of memes. Don't stop at the first summary: ask targeted follow-up questions to get useful trends.
Scheduled runs cost money every day. For reference, the 1,000-post scrape in the video cost about 90 cents.
