Twitter (X) Profile Scraper | Bulk User Data, Followers & Bio

Scrape X (Twitter) profiles in bulk — followers, following, tweet counts, bio, verification, join date, avatar and more. Paste a list of handles and get clean, structured JSON ready for lead lists, competitor research, or enrichment. No Twitter login or API key needed on your end.

Features

• 🔎 Bulk profile lookup — pass hundreds of handles in one run
• 📊 Full metrics — followers, following, tweets & media counts
• 🪪 Identity & status — display name, user ID, X Blue verification, protected flag, account status
• 📝 Profile details — bio, location, account creation date, avatar & header image, pinned tweet IDs
• 🌍 Optional About data — account country, join source, affiliate
• 🔗 Flexible input — accepts @handle, handle, or full https://x.com/handle URLs
• ✅ Clean output — camelCase fields, ISO-8601 dates, one row per profile, easy CSV/Excel export
• 🚫 Graceful errors — non-existent or suspended accounts return a row with a status field instead of being dropped

How it works

1. You provide a list of usernames (or profile URLs).
2. The Actor looks up each profile and returns a structured record.
3. If Include About details is on, it fetches each profile's About section too.
4. Results stream into the dataset as they're scraped — export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or pull via API.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
usernames	Array<String>	Yes	–	Handles or profile URLs. Accepts @handle, handle, or https://x.com/handle.
includeAbout	Boolean	No	false	Also fetch each profile's About section (1 extra request per profile, billed separately).
maxItems	Integer	No	0	Cap the number of profiles (0 = no limit).

Use cases

• Lead generation — enrich a list of prospects with follower counts and bios
• Competitor & influencer research — compare audience size and activity across accounts
• Audience analysis — snapshot metrics for a set of accounts over time
• Data enrichment — add X profile data to an existing CRM or spreadsheet

Pricing

Pay-per-event, so you only pay for what you scrape:

• Profile Scraped — $0.001 per profile ($1 per 1,000 profiles)
• About Details Enriched — $0.0005 per profile (only when Include About details is enabled)

With Apify's Free plan ($5 in monthly credits) you can scrape roughly 5,000 profiles per month for free — and there are no separate compute or platform fees, the per-profile price above is all you pay.

FAQ

Do I need a Twitter/X login or API key? No. Just paste the handles — the Actor handles data access for you.

What happens with accounts that don't exist or are suspended? You still get a row for that input, with status set to notfound / suspended, so your results line up 1:1 with your input list.

Can I input profile URLs instead of handles? Yes — @handle, handle, and https://x.com/handle all work. Duplicates are removed automatically.

How many profiles can I scrape? There's no hard limit — use maxItems to cap a run. For very large lists, run in batches and monitor your spend.

Is the data accurate / up to date? Data reflects the profile at scrape time (scrapedAt). Metrics like follower counts change constantly.

Is scraping X legal? This Actor collects only publicly available profile data. You are responsible for using it in compliance with X's Terms and applicable laws (e.g. GDPR) in your jurisdiction.
