What can you do with X (Twitter) Lists data?

Inherit someone else's curation

A good List is months of manual curation by someone who knows the niche. Exporting its members gives you that work for the price of one run.

Noise-free monitoring

A List timeline is a chronological feed of accounts you chose, with no algorithmic reordering. Polling one on a schedule is the cleanest way to track a set of people.

Warm B2B prospecting

List subscribers self-select into a topic. Subscribers of an industry List are a warmer audience than any followers-of-a-competitor export.

Market mapping

Searching public Lists by keyword returns ready-made maps of an industry — usually better organised than anything you would assemble yourself.

Event and conference targeting

Conference organisers and attendees maintain Lists. They are a precise, time-bounded audience for campaigns around an event.

Is scraping X legal?

This Actor requests only public X fields — the same content any logged-out visitor can see. It does not access private accounts, direct messages or anything behind a login.

Results can still contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find a List ID?

It is the number in the List URL: x.com/i/lists/1272593321181851648. Or use Search Lists to find one by keyword.

Can I scrape private Lists?

No. Only public Lists are accessible, by design.

What is the difference between members and subscribers?

Members are the accounts in the List. Subscribers are the people who follow the List. Subscribers are usually the more interesting audience — they raised their hand.
