Twitter / X Profile Scraper Goat - Bulk Profile Metadata with Followers, Bio & Verification

Bulk-scrape public Twitter / X profile metadata with no API key, no login, and no per-run start fee. For every handle you pass in, you get one clean ordered row: identity, follower / following / tweet counts, bio, location, verification, profile picture, banner. Built for spreadsheets, CRMs, and lead-gen pipelines.

What this Twitter profile scraper does

For each username you provide, the actor returns one normalised profile row containing identity, follower / following / tweet counts, bio, verification, avatar, banner, and metadata. All records share a single ordered schema so the output drops straight into a spreadsheet or database without post-processing.

Perfect for lead generation, agency prospecting, influencer discovery, audience research, MRR / brand-monitoring pipelines, and CRM enrichment.

Why use this Twitter profile scraper

• No Twitter / X API key required. No developer account, no rate-limit ceiling tied to a paid tier.
• No login. Public profiles only. No cookies to refresh, no 2FA risk.
• Multi-tier resilient fetch so a single upstream blip never breaks your run.
• Clean ordered output - identity → metrics → profile fields → media → metadata.
• Bulk-friendly. Feed in 10 or 10,000 handles per run.
• Residential proxy rotation built in.
