💡 Pro Tip — Twitter’s API is paid now, which makes simple data pulls expensive. ScraperNode is a community node that scrapes Twitter profiles and posts without needing API access.

1. Scheduled Trigger – Runs at set times (daily, hourly, etc.).
2. searchQuery – Define what kind of trending or relevant insight you want (e.g. “latest AI trends”).

4. Perplexity API Call – Fetches a short, insightful response to your query.
5. Post to X – Automatically publishes the result as a tweet.
