Cheapest Twitter/X User Profile Scraper (No Login, No Cookies)
Fast, lightweight, and extremely cost-effective user profile scraper for Twitter/X. Retrieve user IDs, names, follower counts, following counts, tweet counts, locations, and bios without account login or cookies.
Why Choose This Scraper?
- Cheapest & Lightest: Optimized to run with guest token authentication instead of spinning up browser instances, resulting in massive speed and resource savings.
- Safe & Private: Performs scraping entirely logged-out. Because it does not use your account cookies, there is zero risk of your personal accounts getting flagged or banned.
- No Login / No Cookies Required: Uses official guest token activation from Twitter's web app client to make authorized GraphQL API calls directly.
- Reliable & Automatic: Built-in auto-retry mechanics for guest token rotation, auto-concurrency scaling, and rate-limit detection.
Input Parameters
The Actor accepts the following input parameters:
| Field Name | Type | Required | Description | Default |

maxProfiles | Integer | No | The maximum number of profiles to scrape. Leave empty for no limit. | - |
proxyConfiguration | Object | Yes | Proxy settings. Apify Proxy (datacenter or residential) is required to bypass Twitter's IP-based rate limiting. | { "useApifyProxy": true } |
