Twitter (X) Email & Lead Finder

Find real business emails on X (Twitter) profiles. Point it at handles, URLs, keyword searches, or a follower list and it ships back verified emails ready for outreach.

🎬 What it does

Give it X handles, profile URLs, or search keywords, and it will:

1. Look up each profile (bio, website, verified badge, follower stats, joined date).
2. Extract the email from the bio, the linked website's homepage, and the /contact and /about pages.
3. Validate the address with an MX check and a disposable-provider filter (optional).
4. Return one row per profile with the email, its source, validation verdict, and full profile metadata.

Extra discovery paths:

• Keyword search: type an industry or niche and the actor finds matching creators on X.
• Follower expansion: point at any handle and pull emails from their followers or the people they follow.

📋 How to use it

Step 1: Configure input

Drop your targets into the top section: handles like apify, full URLs like https://x.com/apify, or numeric user IDs. Or leave those empty and use the Search keywords field to discover profiles by topic.

Add filters if you only want profiles above a follower threshold, verified accounts only, or bios containing a specific phrase. Rows dropped by any filter are free.

Turn on Scrape each target's followers (or following) to also pull emails from a target's followers or following list. Toggle Validate emails to check MX records and flag disposable providers.

Step 2: Run it

Click Start. Progress streams into the Output tab as rows are found.

Step 3: Get your results

Every successful row includes:

• status: "Success" when an email was found, or a short human-readable error otherwise.
• email: the extracted address, normalized to lowercase.
• emailSource: bio, website-home, website-contact, or website-about.
• emailValidation: valid, disposable, invalid, or unchecked.
• foundVia: direct, search, or follower-expansion.
• Full X profile: username, name, bio, followers, following, tweet count, verified badge, joined date, website, location, avatar, and more.

Filter rows and error rows carry an error slug so you can tell at a glance why nothing was found.

❓ FAQ

Why does one of my target rows have status: "No email found"? The profile exists but has no email in the bio, and either no website in the bio, an unreachable website, or a website that has no email on the homepage, /contact, or /about. You are not charged for those rows.

How does the keyword search work? You provide a keyword like indie hacker or AI founder. The actor searches X for matching profiles, then runs the same email-extraction pipeline on each. You pay only when it lands an actual email.

How does follower expansion work? Say you enter @apify and turn on the followers/following toggle. The actor scrapes @apify's email, then walks through people who follow @apify (or the people @apify follows, your choice) and extracts an email from each. You control how deep it goes with the "Max profiles to scan per target" cap. See the Pricing table for the per-email cost on this path.

What counts as a valid email in the emailValidation field? valid = the domain resolves to at least one MX record (or A record as a fallback). disposable = the domain matches a known throwaway provider. invalid = no DNS records at all. unchecked = a DNS timeout or malformed input, and you are not charged for those.

How long are results stored? Results are stored in your Apify storage. How long they are kept depends on your Apify plan.
