Xquik is the world's fastest & cheapest X (Twitter) scraper service with the most complete X data. Xquik's X Account Location Scraper checks where X accounts are based, with no X cookies or login. Most other Apify Actors charge before filtering or deduplicating. Xquik charges only for delivered, unique, filter-matching results.

Paste usernames, profile URLs or user IDs & get X's "Account based in" label for every account in 1 run. The label is X's best-effort country or region for an account. It is not nationality, residence or exact location. You pay $0.00015 per delivered row, & Apify bills platform usage separately.

Xquik is an independent third-party service. Not affiliated with X Corp. "Twitter" and "X" are trademarks of X Corp.

Account details in every row

• X's "Account based in" label, as a country or a region.
• The 2-letter ISO code of that country.
• Whether X notes that the label may be inaccurate.
• How the account first connected to X, such as Web or an app store country.
• The platform & the country code in that connection.
• How often the account changed its username, & when it last did.
• The organization X shows the account is affiliated with.
• The account's age in days & a link to its profile.
• The full public profile, with name, bio, counts, verification, dates & images.
• A second read of any account whose label X withholds, at no extra charge.
• Many accounts in 1 run, read concurrently & delivered in input order.
• Usernames with or without @, x.com & twitter.com URLs & numeric user IDs.
• Duplicate removal before billing.
• JSON, CSV, Excel, XML & RSS exports through Apify datasets.
• Runs resume from saved state after an Apify migration.

How to check where X accounts are based

New to Apify? Create a free account first. The free plan needs no credit card & gives $5 to spend each month. At $0.00015 per account, $5 pays for up to 33,000 accounts before platform usage. Then come back here & press Try for free.

1. Open Xquik's X Account Location Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Paste usernames, profile URLs or user IDs into twitterHandles.
3. Set maxItems to cap delivered rows, then click Start.
4. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the Apify API.

You enter no X cookies, login or API key at any step.

Input

twitterHandles takes every form of an account, in any mix.

{
  "twitterHandles": [
    "BBCWorld",
    "@OpenAI",
    "https://x.com/NASA",
    "https://twitter.com/github",
    "11348282"
  ],
  "maxItems": 1000
}

startUrls & userIds take the same forms. startUrls takes each URL as a plain string or as a { "url": "..." } object.

{
  "startUrls": ["https://x.com/nasa", { "url": "https://x.com/OpenAI" }],
  "userIds": ["742143"]
}

A user ID stays the same when an account changes its username, so use userIds for lists you keep. userNames works as another name for twitterHandles.

An account the input names twice is delivered & charged once, also when 1 entry is its handle & the other its user ID. maxItems keeps the first accounts of the input. Small runs that go well skip run-report & save Apify usage. Turn on alwaysSaveRunRecords to write it on every run.

Output

Each account is 1 dataset row. What X's About page shows comes first, in accountBasedIn, accountBasedInUnavailable, accountBasedInAccurate, affiliateUsername, connectedVia, connectedViaAccurate & usernameChanges. The full public profile follows, with id, username, name, description, followers, following, verified, verifiedType, createdAt, profilePicture & more. 5 fields the Actor works out from the profile come last. They are accountBasedInCountryCode, connectedViaPlatform, connectedViaCountryCode, accountAgeDays & profileUrl. Missing source fields stay absent, & a code the Actor cannot match stays out. Xquik's X Account Location Scraper invents no values.

Examples use sample values. Results reflect live data. A row looks like this.

{
  "accountBasedIn": {
    "value": "United Kingdom",
    "level": "country",
    "observedAt": "2026-10-12T09:00:00.000Z"
  },
  "accountBasedInAccurate": true,
  "affiliateUsername": "sample_org",
  "connectedVia": "Web",
  "usernameChanges": {
    "count": 1,
    "lastChangedAt": "2021-03-04T10:00:00.000Z"
  },
  "id": "1234567890",
  "username": "sample_user",
  "name": "Sample User",
  "followers": 1200,
  "verified": true,
  "createdAt": "2017-03-21T20:50:14.000Z",
  "accountBasedInCountryCode": "GB",
  "connectedViaPlatform": "web",
  "accountAgeDays": 3491,
  "profileUrl": "https://x.com/sample_user",
  "resultType": "profile",
  "sourceTarget": "sample_user"
}

A row tells 3 cases apart.

The row holds	It means	What to do
accountBasedIn with a value	X shows this label for the account.	Use it.
accountBasedIn: null	X shows no label for this account.	Nothing. X has none to show.
accountBasedInUnavailable: true	X withheld the label on both reads.	Run the account again later.

When X withholds a label, the run reads that account 1 more time before it delivers the row. The second read is free. A label still withheld is unknown, not absent. Such a row carries the public profile without the About fields, & the run status counts these accounts. Each of the 3 cases is 1 delivered row.

Output columns

8 inputs shape each row after the run reads it. They run no code & change no price.

Field	What it does
fields	Keep only these fields, in the order & spelling you write
omitFields	Drop these fields & keep the rest
renameFields	Move a field to a column with a new name
flatten	Turn each nested object into top-level columns
fillMissingFields	Fill a kept field a row lacks with null. On by default
joinFields	Turn each of these lists into 1 text value
joinSeparator	Text between joined items. The default is a comma & a space
constantFields	Add a column with the same text on every row

• Use a dot for a field inside an object, such as accountBasedIn.value. Case & underscores do not matter.
• Every row keeps its id.
• With fields, a field a row lacks arrives as null. Every row then has the same columns.
• A wrong field name stops the run before it reads & charges nothing.
• If names cannot be checked, the run reads on & lists unseen names last.
• The run ignores a map function or jq filter written for another Actor.

What the label means

X infers accountBasedIn from aggregated account-access IPs. The label does not state nationality, residence, identity, signup, post or exact location. level says whether X shows a country or a wider region. observedAt records retrieval time. accountBasedInAccurate is false when X notes that the label may be inaccurate. connectedVia says how the account first connected to X, & connectedViaAccurate is false when X notes that its country may be inaccurate. connectedViaPlatform is web, ios or android. The 2 country codes come from the names X writes, so a region has none. X writes 2 names for some countries, such as Türkiye & Turkey, & both give the same code. location is the text the account owner wrote on the profile, which is a different field.

How much does it cost to check X account locations?

Every Apify plan costs $0.00015 per delivered row. Apify bills your platform usage separately.

For more volume, pick an Apify plan with more prepaid usage.

• One charge per delivered data row. Diagnostics are free in diagnostics.
• No start or lookup fee.
• An account X does not have adds no row & no charge.
• The second read of a withheld label costs nothing extra.
• Deduplication runs before billing.
• Apify maximum-total-charge settings cap delivered rows.

Limits & recovery

Xquik's X Account Location Scraper reads many accounts in 1 run. Delivered rows & progress survive an Apify restart. The Actor adds no time limit of its own. It respects any Apify timeout you set.

The run status names the accounts X has no match for & says to check the handle, ID or URL. It also names suspended accounts. Interrupted extraction writes a free partial diagnostic. Available results stay intact. Read availableResults, failedTargets, retryable & nextAction before you retry. A successful Actor exit confirms delivery, not complete extraction.

The run status names every cause of an early stop. stopCauses lists each cause with its own message, retryable & nextAction. The causes are target_not_found, target_suspended, target_failed & deadline_reached. A missing or suspended target joins the list only when another cause stopped the run. The run is retryable when any cause is.

FAQ

Answers to common questions, then where to get help.

Do I need X cookies, an API key or a login?

No. Xquik's X Account Location Scraper needs no X cookies, API key, login or credentials. Every read runs on Xquik's infrastructure.

Does the label show where the account owner lives?

No. It is X's best-effort label for the account. It does not state nationality, residence or exact location, & X itself marks some labels as possibly inaccurate.

Why does a row say accountBasedInUnavailable?

X withheld the label on both reads of the run. The label is unknown, not absent. Run the account again later to get it. accountBasedIn: null is different. X shows no label for that account.

How many accounts can I check in 1 run?

As many as you paste. A run can return 100,000 rows & more. Raise maxItems above the 1,000 the form starts with for a larger list.

Is it legal to check where X accounts are based?

Xquik's X Account Location Scraper requests public X fields. Results can contain personal data. Confirm a lawful purpose & follow applicable privacy rules. Ask qualified counsel when uncertain.

Why did my run return no results?

Read the run status first. An empty run's status says to check the handle, ID or URL of each account X has no match for. The free diagnostics output appears when something needs attention. Its stopCauses gives each cause a nextAction to follow.

Can I use the API, schedules & integrations?

Yes. Use the Apify API or the Xquik REST API. The API tab has Python, JavaScript & cURL examples. Apify schedules run Xquik's X Account Location Scraper on a cron. Agents use Apify MCP. Use latest unless you need an older build.

Where do I get help?

Open an issue in the Issues tab with the run ID. Free diagnostics in the key-value store explain runs that need attention. A run that gets no row back says why in its status.

Can I get a custom solution?

Yes. Describe what you need in the Issues tab. Xquik also offers a dashboard, a REST API, an MCP server & webhooks. Find Xquik's website on its Apify profile.
