Twitter User Following Scraper

Get the accounts that a specific Twitter/X user follows. Returns profile details for each followed account including username, display name, bio, follower/following counts, tweet count, verification status, and profile image. Supports pagination.

Features

• Real-time Twitter data — results are fetched live at run time, never cached or stale
• No login, cookies, or proxy configuration needed — just provide the input and run
• Each result is pushed as a separate dataset item, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel
• Fast: a typical run finishes in seconds

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
username	string	yes	Twitter username without the @ symbol (max 50 characters)
pages	integer	no	Number of pages to fetch and merge into one response (1-10, billed per page)

Pricing

This Actor is billed per page of results — $0.006 per page.

• Results come in pages. Use the pages input to choose how many pages to fetch (1–10); more pages means more results.
• You pay $0.006 for each page you fetch, so pages: 3 costs $0.018 and pages: 1 costs $0.006.
• You’re only charged when a run succeeds. Failed runs are free.
