Why use this Actor?

Manually reviewing hundreds or thousands of X profiles is slow and difficult to organize. This Actor converts public audience lists into consistent, structured records that can be filtered, compared, and analyzed.

No browser automation setup, X login, or cookie configuration is required.

Important considerations

• The Actor works with publicly accessible information.
• Private, suspended, restricted, or unavailable accounts may return limited or no results.
• Follower counts and profile information can change after the run.
• The bot field is an automated indicator and should not be treated as definitive proof.
• Large requests can require more time and platform resources.
• Start with a small result limit to validate the output before scaling.
• Users are responsible for complying with applicable laws, privacy requirements, and platform rules.
