Open the profile

Free, no signup. A limited number of lookups per visitor each hour. Public data only.

How it works

The tool shows the public profile: name, bio, avatar and banner, follower and following counts, number of posts, the join date and the website the account lists. Protected accounts show only what X makes public.

Use this in your app

This tool calls GET /v1/twitter/profile. See the reference, or get early access for a key.

Questions

Does it work with a twitter.com link?

Yes. twitter.com and x.com links and plain usernames all work.

Can I see the posts?

Not here. The profile tweets endpoint lists them.

Is this tool free?

Yes. No account and no card. Each visitor gets a limited number of lookups an hour, so it stays free for everyone.

How do I get this data in my own app?

Send GET /v1/twitter/profile with your key in the x-api-key header. A request costs 1 credit. A repeat of something fetched recently costs 0 credits, and failed requests are free. See the reference.
