X User Profile — X Profile Scraper: Followers, Bio & Verification

Provide a list of X (Twitter) usernames or profile URLs and extract full user profiles — with follower count, bio, location, verification status, tweet count, avatar, and banner — in clean structured JSON.

TL;DR (40-word answer): X User Profile is a no-login Apify Actor that looks up X user profiles at $0.004 per profile, returning follower count, bio, location, verification status, tweet count, avatar, and banner URL for up to 1,000 usernames per run. Last verified 2026-05-02.

What it is NOT: X User Profile is not a tweet scraper (use other X Actors for posts/tweets), not a follower list extractor, and not a real-time engagement tracker — it returns public user profile metadata.

X User Profile is an Apify Actor that looks up X user profiles by username or URL, returning follower count, bio, verification status, tweet count, and profile images. Maintained by TrueFetch on the Apify Store.

⚠️ Common mistakes to avoid

1. Missing usernames field. Required — provide at least one username or URL.
2. Not a list. usernames must be an array of strings, not a single string.
3. More than 1,000 items. Maximum per run is 1,000 usernames.
4. Private accounts. The Actor returns public profile data — private accounts may have limited fields.

---

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Problem	Likely cause	Fix
Missing 'usernames' field	usernames key not in input.	Add "usernames": ["username"] to your input JSON.
'usernames' must be a list	Provided as a string instead of list.	Wrap in a list: ["username"].
'usernames' cannot be more than 1000	More than 1,000 usernames provided.	Split into multiple runs of up to 1,000 each.
No valid usernames found	All usernames were malformed.	Use plain handles (elonmusk) or full https://x.com/... profile URLs.
Empty result for a username	Account may be suspended or not found.	Verify the account exists and is publicly accessible on X.
