👁 Twitter / X Profile & Followers Scraper

Extract rich profile data from any Twitter/X account in seconds — no login required. Scrape followers and following lists with your own cookies. 30+ fields per profile, built-in deduplication, and full support for bulk lookups.

What You Get

Point it at any Twitter/X handle — plain username, @-handle, or full x.com URL. The actor returns everything Twitter exposes: follower counts, bio, location, website, join date, verification status, professional category, and more.

Profile scraping works for everyone. No cookies. No login. Just results.

Features

👤 Rich Profile Data (No Login Required)

30+ fields per account: username, display name, bio, location, website, follower/following/tweet/like/media counts, join date, Blue Verified status, professional type, business category, affiliate labels, profile photo, banner image, and more.

📧 Bio Intelligence

Automatically extracts emails, URLs, @mentions, and hashtags from bio text — no regex needed on your end.

👥 Followers & Following Lists

Scrape the full list of followers or accounts a user follows. Requires your own Twitter cookies — see instructions below.

🔁 4 Scraping Modes

• Profiles — profile data only, no login needed
• Followers — list of followers (requires auth)
• Following — list of accounts they follow (requires auth)
• Both — followers + following in one run

🔗 Flexible Input

Accepts any format: elonmusk, @NASA, twitter.com/openai, https://x.com/ycombinator. Mix formats freely in one run.

✂️ Smart Deduplication

When scraping multiple accounts, duplicate users are automatically skipped.

What You Need

For Profile Mode

Nothing. Just add handles and run. ✅

For Followers / Following Mode

You need to provide your own Twitter/X cookies — ct0 and auth_token. These identify your session so the actor can access followers data.

How to get your cookies (1 minute):

1. Open x.com in your browser and make sure you're logged in
2. Press F12 to open Developer Tools
3. Go to the Application tab (Chrome) or Storage tab (Firefox)
4. In the left panel: Cookies → https://x.com
5. Find ct0 — copy the value
6. Find auth_token — copy the value
7. Paste both values into the actor input fields

💡 Both fields are marked Secret — they are never stored in logs or shared.

Alternative: Auto-login Provide your twitterUsername and twitterPassword instead. The actor will log in automatically and save cookies for future runs.

• Bulk scraping? Add up to hundreds of handles in one run with built-in deduplication.
• Rate limits? The actor handles them automatically with smart retries and delays.
