## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## X (Twitter) Bulk Profile Lookup - User IDs to Full Profiles

Convert lists of numeric X (Twitter) user IDs into full profiles - username, bio, follower counts, verification status - in bulk.

### What you get

- Username, display name, bio, and location for every user ID
- Follower and following counts, tweet count, media count, and likes count
- Verification status - Blue verified and verified type
- Account signals - creation date, automated/bot flag, possibly-sensitive flag, DM availability
- Profile and cover picture URLs, profile URL, and pinned tweet IDs
- True bulk processing - thousands of IDs resolved in a single run, up to 100 per request

### Free tier vs. paid

Free runs are capped to help cover data costs:

- **25 profiles per run**
- **3 runs per day** (UTC)
- **30-minute wait** between runs

Upgrade to any paid plan on the actor's pricing page to lift all three limits - your full ID list is honored and runs are unrestricted.

### Use cases

- Enrich follower-ID exports - other tools often return only numeric IDs; turn them into usable profiles
- Hydrate data-warehouse ID lists - refresh raw user IDs stored in your database with current profile data
- Refresh stale profile data - re-run your ID list periodically to catch renamed, grown, or verified accounts
- Lead enrichment - add follower counts, bios, and locations to prospect lists for scoring and outreach
- Audience research - profile the accounts behind any list of user IDs at scale

### How to use

1. Paste your **User IDs** (one numeric ID per line)
2. Set **Max Items** (default 0 = look up all provided IDs)
3. Run the actor - one profile per row in the **Dataset** tab
4. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets directly from the Apify console

Invalid IDs are skipped with a warning, duplicates are removed automatically, and IDs belonging to deleted or suspended accounts are simply omitted from the results.

### Output format

One profile per dataset row - perfect for direct CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets export:

```json
{
  "userId": "44196397",
  "username": "elonmusk",
  "name": "Elon Musk",
  "description": "Building things on the internet.",
  "location": "Austin, TX",
  "isBlueVerified": true,
  "verifiedType": null,
  "followersCount": 24500000,
  "followingCount": 812,

  "mediaCount": 640,
  "likesCount": 9800,
  "canDm": false,
  "createdAt": "Tue Jun 02 20:12:29 +0000 2009",
  "profilePicture": "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/....jpg",
  "coverPicture": "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_banners/....jpg",
  "pinnedTweetIds": ["1847001234567890"],
  "profileUrl": "https://x.com/elonmusk",
  "website": "https://t.co/lvCfXMHUg6",
  "isAutomated": false,
  "possiblySensitive": false
}
```

### Input options

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "userIds": [
        "44196397",
        "783214"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("seemuapps/x-bulk-profile-lookup").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
