X Profile Metrics Scraper

📊 What does X Profile Metrics Scraper do?

X Profile Metrics Scraper turns public X or Twitter profile URLs and handles into clean profile snapshots. Use it for creator checks, lead lists, account tracking, reports, and scheduled data updates.

Each input creates one stable row with profile identity, bio, links, account flags, and public counts.

This Actor reads public logged-out X data. It does not use cookies, log in to X, collect follower lists, or open private account data.

With X Profile Metrics Scraper, you can:

• 📈 Track follower, following, and post counts.
• 🧑‍💻 Build clean creator or company profile lists.
• ✅ Check verification and account flags.
• 🔗 Collect public bios, websites, and profile links.
• 📦 Export rows to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or an API.

📦 What X profile data can I extract?

One dataset row represents one attempted public X profile input.

Data group	Example fields
🔗 Profile identity	input, profileId, profileUrl, handle, displayName
🧾 Public details	biography, website, location, joinedAt
🖼️ Images	avatarUrl, bannerUrl
✅ Account flags	isBlueVerified
📊 Public metrics	followers, following, posts, media, liked posts, and lists
🎯 Quality	profileMetricStatus, status, statusReason
🕒 Observation	observedAt

Missing public values stay null. They are never changed to a made-up zero. profileMetricStatus shows which counts were exact and which were unavailable.

⬆️ Output sample

{
  "platform": "x",
  "input": "https://x.com/OpenAI",
  "profileId": "4398626122",
  "profileUrl": "https://x.com/OpenAI",
  "handle": "@OpenAI",
  "displayName": "OpenAI",
  "biography": "",
  "website": "https://openai.com",
  "location": null,
  "followersCount": 5000000,
  "followingCount": 4,
  "postsCount": 9000,
  "profileMetricStatus": {
    "followersCount": "exact",
    "followingCount": "exact",
    "postsCount": "exact",
    "mediaCount": "unavailable",
    "likedPostsCount": "unavailable",
    "listedCount": "exact"
  },
  "status": "ok",
  "failureCategory": null,
  "statusReason": null,
  "observedAt": "2026-07-17T12:00:00.000Z"
}

Good and failed rows use the same ordered fields. Failed rows keep unknown values as null. failureCategory separates safe causes such as a network failure or empty response without exposing raw source data.

📌 Run summary

The OUTPUT record reports input count, unique inputs, saved rows, billable rows, status counts, start time, finish time, and runtime.

🚦 Status and quality fields

failureCategory is null for good rows. Failed rows use a safe category such as network, empty_response, rate_limit, access, or unknown.

• ok: the public profile identity was proven.
• not_found: the profile does not exist or is no longer available.
• private: the account does not show public profile data.
• blocked: X challenged the public request.
• rate_limited: X asked the run to slow down.
• login_required: X required a signed-in view at that time.
• parser_miss: X returned data without a stable profile identity.
• invalid_input: the value was not a profile URL or handle.
• failed: another safe source error happened.

🔒 Source boundary

This Actor reads only data X shows without signing in. It does not use your X account, cookies, passwords, or private tokens. It does not bypass login or challenge screens.

⚠️ Limits

• Full follower and following lists are not included.
• Deleted, blocked, region-limited, or private accounts may fail.
• X may hide some fields. Hidden values stay null.
• Results are snapshots. Use a schedule to build history.
• X can change its public pages, so a later run may need an Actor update.

❓ FAQ

Does this Actor need an X login or API key?

No. It reads logged-out public X data.

Why is a profile count null?

X did not show that value publicly for the profile at run time. Check profileMetricStatus and the row status.

How are duplicate profiles handled?

The same normalized handle is checked once per run.
