Watch how Framer uses Xquik scrapers with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor & more, from 6:07.

Xquik is the world's fastest & cheapest X (Twitter) scraper service with the most complete X data. Xquik's X (Twitter) Follower Tracker shows the new & lost followers of the accounts you pick, & whom they follow or unfollow. Each alert holds the other account's full profile. Most other Apify Actors charge before filtering or deduplicating. Xquik charges only for delivered, unique results, & here only for the hours a monitor watches.

Paste the accounts to track & click Start. Alerts arrive between runs. You pay $0.0045 per monitor-hour. Events & alerts are free, & 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.

Why use X (Twitter) Follower Tracker?

• See who unfollowed you. Each lost follower alert names the account, even one X suspended.
• Track any public account. Watch your own account, a competitor's or a client's.
• No alerts for old followers. The first run takes each list as it is. Only later changes alert you.
• Alerts in your chat app. Send them to Telegram, Discord or Slack. Telegram needs no chat ID. Any HTTPS webhook gets the full event too.
• Know your alerts work. Each new webhook, Slack or Discord URL gets a test alert. The run status says if it arrived.
• Know the monitor is watching. Each run's status page says so & shows 1 next step with a button.
• No silent pauses. Your alerts warn you 4 hours before a monitor with no runs pauses. The next run resumes it.
• No X account needed. You never share your X login or an API key.

Accurate rows

• Verified badges match what x.com shows.
• Rows hold public data only.
• Ads & promoted entries never reach your rows.
• Monitors report only real deletions & unfollows.

Fresh data

What data does X (Twitter) Follower Tracker send?

• New followers, the accounts that start following each account you watch.
• Lost followers, the accounts that leave its followers.
• New follows & unfollows, the accounts it starts or stops following.
• Each alert with the other account's full profile, such as its name, bio & follower count.
• Every event in the run's dataset & in 1 history dataset.

How to track Twitter followers

Monitoring needs a paid Apify plan. Pick a plan, then come back here & press Try for free.

1. Open Xquik's X (Twitter) Follower Tracker in Apify Console.
2. Paste usernames into twitterHandles.
3. Turn on telegram, or paste a Discord or Slack webhook URL into webhookUrls.
4. Click Start. Tracking begins in that run.
5. Add a schedule that runs the Actor every hour, with the same input.

Each later run charges the hours watched since the run before & saves the new events to its dataset. A monitor with no run for 24 hours pauses, & your alerts warn you 4 hours before that. The next run resumes it & charges the unpaid hours first.

What the tracker sees

• New followers & new follows of any public account.
• Lost followers on accounts with up to 100,000 followers, & unfollows on accounts that follow up to 100,000. Above that, among the newest 5,000.
• A lost follower deep in a large list can arrive later than a new follower.
• A follower whose account X suspends or removes counts as lost too.
• An account that leaves & comes back can count as a new follower again.
• The first run takes each list as it is, so no existing follower counts as new.
• A protected account hides its lists, so it sends nothing.

Input

Field	What it does
twitterHandles	Usernames with or without @, or x.com profile URLs, 1 a line.
monitorName	Names this set of accounts, for runs without a saved task.
followerChanges	New & lost followers. On by default.
followingChanges	New follows & unfollows. On by default.
webhookUrls	HTTPS URLs, 1 a line. Slack & Discord URLs are detected.
telegram	Sends alerts to Telegram through a link the run gives you.
stop	Stops the monitor & turns alerts off.

1 input takes up to 100 accounts. Telegram needs no username or chat ID. The run status gives a link. Open it & press Start, & alerts reach that chat. The form hides the tweet events of X (Twitter) Monitor, & an input that sends them still works.

These inputs are ready to copy.

{ "twitterHandles": ["NASA"], "telegram": true }

{
  "twitterHandles": ["yourhandle"],
  "followingChanges": false,
  "webhookUrls": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/T000/B000/XXXX"
}

Output

Each run returns 4 outputs.

• Status page, the STATUS.html record. It shows if the monitor watches, the 1 next step with a button, what the run saved & charged, the targets & each alert destination. The Output tab shows it.
• Status record, the STATUS record. It holds the same status as JSON.
• New events, the run's dataset. It holds each new event, oldest first, & 1 status row last.
• Diagnostics, written only when something needs attention.

An event row is the event exactly as Xquik's REST API serves it, with every field. The status record holds state, targets, destinations, eventsSaved, hoursCharged, paidThrough, pausesAt, nextStep, nextStepAction & nextStepUrl, as X (Twitter) Follower Tracker shows them.

The history dataset in your account keeps every event of the monitor, each once. Its name starts with x-monitor-.

For AI agents

1 call is the whole API. Each call starts or updates the monitor, charges the hours watched since the call before, & returns only what is new. No call charges an hour twice. A call that starts or updates a monitor ends fast, inside what Apify's MCP waits for. A stop takes about half a minute & saves the last events.

This input starts or continues a monitor.

{ "twitterHandles": ["NASA"], "monitorName": "agent-demo" }

The run's dataset holds the new events, then 1 row with resultType status. Its state says if the monitor watches, & nextStep says what to do next. To check a monitor, call the Actor again with the same input. That changes nothing & charges only hours already watched.

A monitor needs a run at least once every 24 hours to keep watching. Apify's MCP server has no schedule tool, so you cannot add one. Ask the user to add an Apify schedule on the page in nextStepUrl. It runs the Actor every hour with the same input. Stop it with the same input & "stop": true.

How much does a Twitter follower tracker cost?

Every paid Apify plan costs $0.0045 per monitor-hour. 1 account is 1 monitor. Apify bills your platform usage separately.

• 1 account tracked for 30 days costs about $3.24.
• 10 accounts tracked for 30 days cost about $32.40.
• Events & alerts are free, however many arrive.
• No start fee. A run charges only hours already watched.
• A target X does not have watches nothing & costs nothing.
• Your maximum cost per run caps each charge. Hours past it wait for the next run.

An hourly schedule keeps Apify usage small next to the hours it pays. Runs every few minutes add usage & change nothing for alerts, which arrive between runs anyway.

Monitoring needs a paid Apify plan. On the free plan, a run starts no monitor & charges nothing. It shows the 5 latest tweets of your first account instead.

Limits & recovery

• 1 input takes up to 100 accounts. Use 2 tasks for more.
• Up to 10 webhook URLs per input, plus Telegram.
• Events stay 30 days, so since can save them again within that time.
• A run that stops early leaves its events for the next run. None is lost.
• Each run writes 1 free status row, so its dataset is never empty.
• Every monitor Actor of Xquik charges the same hour price. A run pays the oldest unpaid hours of all your monitors, whichever Actor watched them.

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 (Twitter) Follower Tracker needs no X cookies, API key, login or credentials. Every check runs on Xquik's infrastructure.

Can I see who left my followers on X?

Yes. Watch your own public account. Each account that leaves its followers sends a lost follower alert with its full profile. That includes an unfollow & an account X suspends or removes.

Can it show whom an account follows?

Yes. followingChanges is on by default, so each account the watched account starts or stops following sends an alert.

Does it work for accounts with millions of followers?

It names new followers of any public account. Lost followers are named on accounts with up to 100,000 followers. Above that, among the newest 5,000.

Does it send tweets too?

No, by default. Turn on tweet events through eventTypes, or use X (Twitter) Monitor for tweets.

Why does the run say monitoring needs a paid plan?

Monitors run between runs, all day. So they need a paid Apify plan. Upgrade, then run again with the same input.

What happens when I stop the monitor?

The run stops every target & turns alerts off. It charges the hours watched until then. It saves the newest events within about half a minute, so none is lost. Events already kept stay readable for 30 days.

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 keep the monitor running. Agents use Apify MCP.
