X (Twitter) Profile Scraper

Turn a list of X (Twitter) account names into a clean table of profile records — follower and following counts, bio, website, location, join date, badge status, post counts, avatar and banner images, and the pinned post identifier. One row per account, thousands of accounts per run. No X account, no login, and nothing to install.

What you can do with it

• Qualify influencers and creators in bulk. Drop in a list of handles and get follower counts, post volume and badge status for all of them at once.
• Enrich a CRM or lead list. Match your contacts to their X accounts and pull the bio, website and location straight onto the record.
• Track how accounts grow. Run the same list on a schedule and keep a history of follower counts over time.
• Map a competitive set. Compare audience size, posting volume and account age across every brand in your category in one table.
• Clean a list you inherited. Accounts that were renamed, suspended or never existed come back marked, so you can prune the list instead of guessing.
• Grab profile imagery. Avatar and banner images come through at full size, ready to use in a report or a deck.

What you get

One row per account (abridged real output, with the optional post attachments switched on):

Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
profiles	array of text	—	Required. The accounts to collect. An account name, an @name or a link to the profile all work, and duplicates are removed for you.
includeLatestPost	boolean	false	Attach the most recent post shown on the account's public profile, with its text, engagement and media.
includePinnedPost	boolean	false	Attach the post the account pinned to the top of its profile, when it has one.
accountsAtOnce	integer	3	How many accounts to work through in parallel. Raise it to finish long lists faster.
countryCode	select	us	Which country to browse from.

Output fields

Field	Description
inputProfile	Exactly what you supplied, so results join back onto your own list.
userId, username, profileUrl	Permanent account identifier, current handle and link.
displayName, bio	Display name and profile description.
website	The account's link, resolved to its real destination rather than the shortened form.
bioLinks	Any other links written inside the bio, also resolved.
location	The free-text location on the profile.
joinedAt	When the account was created, ISO-8601 UTC.
followers, following	Audience size and how many accounts it follows.
postCount, mediaPostCount	Total posts, and how many of them carry photos or video.
likesGiven	How many posts this account has liked.
isVerified, verifiedType	Legacy verification flag, and what X classifies the account as (Business, Government, …).
hasSubscriptionBadge	Whether the account shows the current checkmark.
isProtected	Whether the account is private.
avatarUrl, bannerUrl	Profile picture and header image, at full size.
pinnedPostId	Identifier of the pinned post, when the account has one.
latestPost	The most recent post shown on the account's public profile, when you asked for it. When that post is a repost it is flagged, and the original is included alongside.
pinnedPost	The pinned post, when you asked for it.
unavailable, unavailableReason	Set when an account cannot be read — suspended, withheld or never existed — so your list keeps its shape.
scrapedAt	When the row was collected.

Pricing

This actor is pay per result: you are charged for each account row that lands in your dataset, and for nothing else. There is no time-based charge, and attaching the latest or pinned post costs nothing extra.

A list of 1,000 accounts costs about $0.90. Accounts you supply twice are collapsed before anything is collected, so a messy list never bills twice for the same account.

Limits & what this actor cannot do

• Keyword search across all of X is not part of what X publishes openly, so this actor works from the accounts you supply rather than a search term.
• The lists of who follows an account, or who it follows, are not publicly available. Follower and following counts are included on every row.
• Private (protected) accounts still publish their profile, so you get the full row — but their posts are not public, so no latest or pinned post is attached.
• Suspended, withheld and non-existent accounts are reported with unavailable set and a plain-English reason rather than being silently dropped, so those entries still join back onto your list.
• Entries that are not a usable X account name, and repeats of an account you listed more than once, are skipped rather than collected, so they produce no row. Each one is named in the run log.
• The attached latest post is the most recent post X shows on that account's public profile. For a handful of very large accounts X shows a mixed selection of older posts there instead of the newest ones, so for those accounts the attached post can be older than the account's true latest post.
• Follower counts, post counts and engagement figures are a snapshot at the moment of collection and keep changing afterwards.
• X publishes view counts for most recent posts but not for every older one. Where X publishes none, views is left empty rather than set to zero.
• isVerified is the old verification flag and is false for almost every account today. The checkmark you see on X now lives in hasSubscriptionBadge, and verifiedType tells you whether X classifies the account as a business, a government body and so on.
• An account name can be changed by its owner. userId never changes, so it is the safer key to store if you re-run the same list over time.
• Speed depends on the size of the job and on X's own response times; no fixed throughput is promised.
• X's terms govern automated access. You are responsible for using the data lawfully, in line with the source site's terms, and for handling any personal data in line with applicable privacy law.

FAQ

Do I need an X account? No. Nothing is required from you beyond the list of accounts you want.

Does it need my login, password or a paid X subscription? No. None of those are used at any point.

How many accounts can I put in one run? Thousands. The list is de-duplicated first, a failure on one account never stops the rest, and you can raise accountsAtOnce to finish long lists faster.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Schedule it on Apify to run daily or weekly over the same list and build a history of how those accounts grow.

What happens to accounts that were deleted or renamed? You still get a row, marked unavailable with the reason, so you can clean your list instead of losing track of which entry failed.

Is the data complete? It is everything X publishes on a public profile. Anything X keeps private — follower lists, private accounts' posts, email addresses — is not available to anyone reading a public profile, and this actor does not pretend otherwise.

How do I get the results into my tools? Export from Apify as CSV, Excel, JSON, XML or an HTML table, push into Google Sheets, or pull them programmatically into your own system.
