🧩 Twitter X Profile About — Extract the new “About” section from Twitter profiles

Twitter recently introduced a brand-new About section for user profiles — exposing deeper metadata that was not available through the UI or legacy APIs.

This Actor retrieves this About Profile information at scale, giving you clear signals to evaluate whether an account is relevant, reputable, and real.

🔍 What does the Twitter “About” section include?

The new About panel exposes several important trust indicators:

• 📅 Account creation date
• 🌍 Declared location / region
• 🔄 Number of times the username was changed
• 🏷️ Affiliations & highlighted labels
• 🔵 Blue verification status
• 🔐 Whether the account is protected/private
• 🧩 Additional identity / profile metadata

These signals are useful for:

• OSINT investigations
• Fake account / bot detection
• Marketing audience research
• Account credibility scoring
• Threat intelligence workflows

🚀 What this Actor does

Given one or multiple Twitter usernames, this Actor:

1. Fetches the new About metadata from Twitter’s private API
2. Normalizes and converts the result into a clean JSON structure
3. Returns a dataset containing one record per username

If an account is unavailable, suspended, or restricted, the Actor will return structured fallback metadata describing its status.
