Twitter (X) Followers Scraper | $0.10/1K | Followers/Following

Export the followers or following list of any X (Twitter) account in bulk. Paste one or more handles and get a clean row per user — handle, name, bio, follower/following counts, verification, location and more. Perfect for lead lists, audience research, and influencer discovery. No Twitter login or API key needed on your end.

Features

• 👥 Followers or Following — pick which list to export per run
• 📄 One row per user — flat output that drops straight into CSV, Excel, or a CRM
• 📊 Rich fields — username, name, bio, followers, following, tweets, verification, location, website, join date, avatar
• 🔢 Spend controls — cap per account (maxItemsPerUser) and per run (maxItems)
• 🧵 Handles huge lists — automatic cursor pagination under the hood
• 🔗 Flexible input — @handle, handle, or https://x.com/handle
• 🚫 Clear on empty — accounts with no results return a status row instead of vanishing

How it works

1. Provide the source accounts and choose Followers or Following.
2. The Actor pages through each account's list and streams one record per user into the dataset.
3. Set Max users per account / Max users total to control size and cost.
4. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or pull via API.

Use cases

• Lead generation — build a targeted list from a competitor's or community's followers
• Influencer discovery — see who a key account follows
• Audience research — analyze the makeup of an account's followers (verified share, bios, locations)
• CRM enrichment — expand your prospect list with real X profiles

Pricing

Simple pay-per-result:

• User Scraped — $0.0001 per user ($0.10 per 1,000 followers/following)

Example: scraping 10,000 followers ≈ $1.00. With Apify's Free plan ($5 monthly credits) you can export ~50,000 users for free each month — with no separate compute or platform fees, the per-user price is all you pay.

FAQ

Followers or following — can I get both? Pick one per run with listType. Run twice (or add both accounts) to get both lists.

How many followers can I scrape per account? As many as the account has — use maxItemsPerUser to cap it. Very large accounts (millions of followers) can be expensive and slow, so start with a limit.

What if an account is private, suspended, or has no results? You get a single row for it with status: "no_results", so nothing silently disappears.

Are the fields the same for followers and following? Mostly. For following lists, X exposes fewer details, so verified and location may be empty for some users.

Do I need a Twitter/X login or API key? No. Just paste the source handles.

Is scraping X legal? This Actor collects only publicly available data. You are responsible for complying with X's Terms and applicable laws (e.g. GDPR).
