🚀 Performance Tips

Optimize your extraction runs for speed, cost, and data quality with these best practices:

💰 Cost Optimization

• Test First: Start with 5-10 profiles to verify output quality before processing large batches
• Batch Processing: Extract multiple profiles in a single run to amortize runtime costs
• Monitor Usage: Check the Apify Console's usage tab for real-time cost tracking

⚡ Speed Optimization

• Public Accounts: Public profiles load faster than protected or suspended accounts
• Parallel Processing: The Actor automatically processes up to 25 profiles simultaneously
• Valid Usernames: Ensure usernames exist to avoid wasted retry attempts

🛡️ Data Quality Tips

• Verify Names: Ensure usernames are correct and accounts are active before running
• Real-time Data: All metrics reflect live values at extraction time
• Complete Context: Pinned tweets and device data provide behavioral insights

📊 Best Practices

• Rate Limits: The Actor handles X platform rate limiting automatically with intelligent proxy rotation
• Data Freshness: Follower counts and engagement metrics are captured at extraction time
• Error Handling: Failed extractions return status "not found"; check logs for troubleshooting

❓ FAQ

What data can I extract from an X user profile?

You can extract comprehensive user intelligence including: verification status, follower analytics, engagement metrics, pinned tweets with full interaction data, account creation dates, professional classifications, contact URLs, device fingerprints, and demographic information. This gives you a complete 360° view of any public X account.

How many profiles can I extract?

You can extract up to 100 profiles per run. For larger batches, run the Actor multiple times. We recommend starting with 5-10 profiles for testing, then scaling up based on your requirements.

Are private accounts supported?

No, this Actor only extracts data from public accounts. Protected or private profiles require authentication and are not accessible through this tool. The Actor will return status "not found" for private accounts.

What about tweets and replies?

This Actor focuses on user profile metadata only. For tweet extraction, timeline analysis, or reply threads, use our complementary actors designed for content scraping.

How accurate is the data?

All data is extracted directly from X's internal API endpoints, ensuring 100% accuracy. Metrics like follower counts, engagement statistics, and verification status reflect real-time values at the moment of extraction.

What output formats are available?

The Actor outputs data in JSON format by default. You can export results to CSV or Excel formats using Apify's dataset export features.

How long does processing take?

Processing time depends on batch size and account complexity:

• 1 profile: 5-15 seconds
• 10 profiles: 30-60 seconds
• 50 profiles: 3-5 minutes
• 100 profiles: 5-10 minutes

What are pinned tweets?

Pinned tweets are posts that users choose to display at the top of their profile. This Actor extracts the pinned tweet's full text, URL, creation timestamp, and complete engagement metrics (views, quotes, replies, retweets, bookmarks, favorites) for content performance analysis.
