Twitter X Profile Scraper

Twitter X Profile Scraper collects public Twitter / X profile data — bio, follower and following counts, verification badges, avatar and banner images, and recent tweets — from profile URLs or usernames. It requires no login or API key and turns each profile into structured data for influencer tracking, market research, and competitive intelligence, exportable to JSON, CSV, or Excel. Pricing starts at $2 per 1,000 profiles.

How to use Twitter X Profile Scraper

1. Open the actor in your Apify console.
2. Paste one or more profile URLs or bare usernames.
3. Choose whether to include recent tweets and set the per-profile tweet limit.
4. Run the actor.
5. Export the dataset to JSON, CSV, or Excel, or read it through the API.

{
  "profileUrls": ["https://x.com/NASA", "https://x.com/OpenAI"],
  "usernames": [],
  "includeTweets": true,
  "maxTweets": 20,
  "maxConcurrency": 10,
  "maxItems": 0,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]
  }
}

Example workflow

Enrich an influencer shortlist weekly

1. Run your list of profile URLs every Monday.
2. Keep accounts matching your minimum follower count and verification status.
3. Attach their recent tweets to gauge content style and engagement.
4. Deduplicate using the stable numeric id field.

Automate and integrate your results

Schedule runs from the Scheduler tab — daily for key competitors and influencers, weekly for larger batches. Attach a webhook to trigger a downstream pipeline on completion, and export to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack, or a CRM. For recurring pipelines, call the actor through the Apify API:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scraptivo/twitter-x-profile-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"profileUrls": ["https://x.com/NASA"], "includeTweets": true}'

Within a run the actor deduplicates input seeds; across runs, deduplicate on the id field.

Input reference

| Field | Type | Required | Default | What it controls | |---|---:|---|---| | profileUrls | array | No | — | Full profile URLs or bare @usernames to scrape. | | usernames | array | No | — | Screen names without a full URL. | | includeTweets | boolean | No | true | Also scrape recent tweets from each timeline. | | maxTweets | integer | No | 20 | Recent tweets per profile (0 = none). | | maxConcurrency | integer | No | 10 | Profiles scraped in parallel (1–50). | | maxItems | integer | No | 0 | Maximum profiles to scrape (0 = unlimited). | | proxyConfiguration | object | No | residential | Proxy settings for anti-bot protection. |

Should I use profileUrls or usernames?

Either works. Use profileUrls for full URLs and usernames for plain handles; the actor accepts both and deduplicates overlapping inputs.

How much does it cost to scrape Twitter / X?

The actor bills per profile: $2 per 1,000 profiles, with Apify plan discounts applied automatically — Bronze $1.90, Silver $1.80, and Gold $1.70 per 1,000. Each profile is one billable result, and tweets attached to a profile incur no additional charge. A run of 1,000 profiles costs $2; 10,000 profiles cost $20 before discounts. Use maxItems to cap output. Compute and residential proxy usage are billed separately by Apify and offset by your plan's free monthly units.

Reliability and responsible use

The actor uses anonymous guest access (no login or token) with residential proxies by default, and fails soft — a skipped or erroring profile does not stop the run. It scrapes only publicly visible profiles; protected accounts are skipped. You are responsible for complying with X's terms and applicable laws when storing or using the data.

Frequently asked questions

Can I scrape private or protected accounts?

No. The actor only reads publicly accessible profile data. Protected accounts are skipped without stopping the run.

Do I need a Twitter / X account or API key?

No. It uses X's anonymous guest API — no login, token, or developer account required.

Are tweets charged separately from profiles?

No. Pricing is per profile; attached tweets are optional enrichment at no extra cost.

Why am I getting empty results?

Check that the URLs or usernames are valid, and keep residential proxies enabled — X can block requests from datacenter IPs.

How many profiles can I scrape in one run?

There is no built-in limit. Set maxItems to cap the count, and split very large batches (10,000+) across runs to avoid rate limiting.
