How do I use X Profile Scraper to scrape profile data?

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 row, $5 pays for up to 33,000 rows before platform usage. Then come back here & press Try for free.

Follow these steps in Apify Console.

1. Open a task example or the Input tab.
2. Add handles to twitterHandles, URLs to startUrls or IDs to userIds.
3. Turn on the resources you need, such as includeTweets.
4. Set maxItems & any filters, then click Start.
5. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

Each recipe below is a complete input.

Scrape many profiles

{ "twitterHandles": ["nasa", "OpenAI", "apify"], "maxItems": 100 }

Each handle returns 1 profile row. Handles work with or without @.

Paste profile URLs or IDs

startUrls takes each URL as a plain string or as a { "url": "..." } object. userIds takes numeric X user IDs.

{
  "startUrls": ["https://x.com/nasa", { "url": "https://x.com/OpenAI" }],
  "userIds": ["11348282"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

The run reads a repeated handle once.

Add posts, replies & media

{
  "twitterHandles": ["nasa"],
  "includeTweets": true,
  "includeMedia": true,
  "sinceDate": "2026-01-01",
  "maxItems": 500
}

includeTweets follows the profile's Posts tab. includeReplies follows its With Replies tab. includeMedia follows its Media tab. includeHighlights adds the posts on its Highlights tab, in X's order. A profile without highlights adds no rows.

Keep only popular posts

{
  "twitterHandles": ["nasa"],
  "includeTweets": true,
  "minLikes": 1000,
  "mediaType": "videos",
  "maxItems": 200
}

Post filters apply to optional post rows. Filtered rows never reach the dataset, so you never pay for them.

Export followers & following

{
  "twitterHandles": ["apify"],
  "includeFollowers": true,
  "minFollowers": 1000,
  "verifiedOnly": true,
  "maxItems": 1000
}

includeFollowers, includeFollowing & includeVerifiedFollowers add 1 profile row per account. Profile filters apply to these rows & to the main profiles.

Translate bios

{ "twitterHandles": ["nasa", "SpaceX"], "translateBioTo": "es" }

Each translation is 1 profileBioTranslation row with text, language & sourceLanguage. A profile without a bio adds no row & no charge.

Check who is live now

{ "twitterHandles": ["nasa", "SpaceX"], "checkLiveNow": true }

Each check is 1 profileLive row with live, userId, userName & broadcast. broadcast holds the profile's latest broadcast, live or ended, or null. A missing profile adds no row.

How much does it cost to scrape X profiles?

Xquik's X Profile Scraper costs $0.00015 per delivered row on every Apify plan. Apify bills your platform usage separately. Xquik applies one charge per delivered data row. Diagnostics are free in the diagnostics output.

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

• You need no Xquik subscription.
• You pay no separate start, profile or query fee.
• Filters & deduplication run before billing. You never pay for filtered or duplicate rows.
• A profile without a bio adds no translation charge.
• A missing profile adds no live check charge.
• Apify maximum-total-charge settings cap delivered rows.

A run that hits a problem, or a large run, also writes a run-report record. A small run that goes well skips it & saves Apify usage. Turn on alwaysSaveRunRecords to write it on every run.

To cap what a run can spend, see Run options.

Empty, partial & stopped runs

Xquik's X Profile Scraper explains empty, partial & stopped runs for free. The run status says why the run stopped. It also counts charged results & targets read.

Empty results

An empty run's status says to check your targets & filters. Filtered rows never use up your result limit. A run that reads every target & gets no row back writes no record. Its status says why & what to change.

X has shown the posts an account liked only to that account since 2024. includeLikes returns no profileLike rows for other accounts.

Partial runs

Interrupted extraction writes a free partial diagnostic. Delivered rows stay in the dataset. Read availableResults, failedTargets, retryable & nextAction before you retry. A successful Actor exit confirms delivery, not complete extraction.

Stop causes

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, pagination_safety_limit & deadline_reached. target_suspended names the accounts X suspended. A missing or suspended target joins the list only when another cause stopped the run. The run is retryable when any cause is.

Input

The Input tab lists every option. Give at least 1 of twitterHandles, startUrls or userIds. Every other field is optional.

Field	What it does
twitterHandles	Handles, with or without @
startUrls	Profile URLs on x.com or twitter.com
userIds	Numeric X user IDs

Migrate from another profile Actor

Paste the input you already use. Xquik's X Profile Scraper reads these field names of other profile Actors. Each line names their fields, then the field they map to.

• profiles, userNames, usernames, handles, screenNames map to twitterHandles.
• urls, profileUrls map to startUrls.
• maxProfiles, maxResults map to maxItems.
• shouldScrapeFollowers, shouldScrapeFollowings map to includeFollowers, includeFollowing.
• requireEmail maps to hasEmail.
• requireWebsite maps to hasWebsite. It keeps a profile with any link in its website field, & the run status says so.
• filterByBlueVerified maps to blueVerifiedOnly. false stops the run before any read or charge.
• bioKeywords maps to bioContains. Any 1 of its terms may match.
• locationKeywords with 1 value maps to locationContains. More values stop the run before any read or charge.
• emailDomains as a list maps to emailDomains.
• outputEmail, resolveShortLinks need no field. Every row carries its emails & X's full links.
• findEmails, extractEmails need no field. Rows carry the emails a profile publishes on X. The run status says the Actor reads no linked site.
• validateEmails needs no field. The run status says emails come as published, since the Actor checks no mailbox.

category set to user_info changes nothing. A category that is another Actor's job, such as tweets or followers, stops the run. It reads & charges nothing. The message names the Actor to use. When you set an alias & its canonical field, the canonical value wins. The run log names the alias that lost.

Pick the right inputs

• For a profile card alone, give handles & leave every include option off.
• For an account archive, turn on includeTweets, includeMedia & includeHighlights, & set sinceDate.
• For top content, add minLikes or minViews to includeTweets.
• For lead lists, turn on includeFollowers with minFollowers & minAccountAgeDays.
• For audience overlap, give 2 handles, turn on includeFollowers & set dedupeAcrossTargets: false. A shared follower then appears under each handle.

Output

Each row is a JSON object. The dataset schema gives each field a title & description, so AI agents can read rows without guessing.

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

{
  "resultType": "profile",
  "sourceTarget": "sample_user",
  "id": "1234567890",
  "username": "sample_user",
  "name": "Sample User",
  "description": "Building tools for researchers.",
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "location": "Lisbon",
  "followers": 1200,
  "following": 310,
  "statusesCount": 4200,
  "verified": false,
  "createdAt": "Tue Mar 21 20:50:14 +0000 2017",
  "accountBasedInUnavailable": true
}

X infers accountBasedIn from aggregated account-access IPs. The label does not state nationality, residence, identity, signup, post or exact location. observedAt records retrieval time. accountBasedIn is null when X shows no label. When X withholds it, the row has accountBasedInUnavailable: true instead.

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

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.

Name a computed column in fields or renameFields to add it.

Column	Formula
totalEngagement	likeCount + replyCount + retweetCount + quoteCount. A missing count adds 0
engagementRate	totalEngagement × 100 ÷ the author's followers, to 4 decimals
engagementPerView	totalEngagement × 100 ÷ viewCount, to 4 decimals

totalEngagement is null for a row without those counts. A rate is null when its divisor is missing or 0.

Run options

• Set Apify's max total charge to cap run cost. Leave maxItems high to get the most rows that budget allows.
• Set maxTotalChargeUsd in the Apify API, or Max cost per run in Console.
• Put all your profiles in 1 run. Each run pays Apify the same start cost.
• maxConcurrency sets how many profiles run at once. The default is the fastest safe setting.
• Use Xquik account monitors for 1-second checks & signed webhooks. Active monitors check every second.

Select latest for every run to get every published fix. Saved tasks & schedules keep their own build choice, so keep it on latest.
