X (Twitter) Follow Relationship Checker - Does X Follow Y

Check whether any X (Twitter) account follows or is followed by a list of target accounts. One row per pair with follow flags and mutual status - no login required.

What you get

• One dataset row per source/target account pair
• sourceFollowsTarget - does the source account follow the target?
• targetFollowsSource - does the target account follow the source back?
• mutual - true when both accounts follow each other
• checkedAt timestamp for every check, so you can track changes over time
• Clean tabular output - export straight to CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets

Free tier vs. paid

Free runs are capped at 10 target accounts per run to help cover data costs. Upgrade to any paid plan on the actor's pricing page to lift the limit - your full target list is checked in one run.

Use cases

• "Does X follow Y" checks - instantly answer whether one account follows another
• Unfollow audits - re-run the same list periodically and diff the results to catch unfollows
• Influencer outreach qualification - check whether prospects already follow your brand before reaching out
• Community and CRM enrichment - add follow-relationship columns to your contact or member lists
• Mutual-follow mapping - find which accounts in a list are mutuals with a key account

How to use

1. Enter the Source Username - the account whose relationships you want to check (with or without @)
2. Enter Target Usernames - one account per line
3. Run the actor - one row per pair appears in the Dataset tab
4. Export to JSON, CSV, or Google Sheets directly from the Apify console

Output format

One account pair per dataset row - perfect for direct CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets export:
