X profileX Profile APIfor AI agents
One API to scrape an X (Twitter) profile's bio, followers, post count and join date.
Free. No account. No API key.
What people use it for.
Vet an account before you deal with it
Send the handle of an account that contacted you. followers, joinedAt and verifiedType show whether it is who it says.
Size up a creator or a rival
Send a creator's or a rival's handle. followers and posts show the size of the audience you would pay for or compete with.
Keep a stable account id
Save userId for each username in your list. The id still finds the account after it changes its handle.
Ways to call it.
- Use the APIOne POST request with your key. Every site answers in the same format.
- Use MCPAdd one server to your agent. It finds the right call on its own.
- Use the SDKTypeScript and Python clients, typed, with retries built in.
- Use the CLIRun any call from your terminal and pipe the result into a script.
Pay only for answers.
A profile costs 1 credit. It works without a key. Errors and empty results cost nothing.

No. You send a username or a profile link to Stophy. You need no X developer account and no X login. The endpoint also works with no Stophy key, within a daily limit.
1 credit for a profile that returns data. A call that returns an error uses 0 credits. 1,000 credits cost $1.50, and less on bigger top-ups. Every account starts with 1,000 free credits.
One profile. It has userId, username, profileUrl, name, bio, location, website, joinedAt, followers, following, posts, isVerified, verifiedType, isProtected, avatarUrl and bannerUrl.
Check what you sent. username takes the handle, such as nasa. To send a link, use profileUrl; links from x.com and twitter.com both work. Send one of the two, not both. An account that does not exist or is suspended returns a not found error.
No. It returns the profile only. To read a post you already know, call x.post with its link.
userId is the number X gives the account. It stays the same when the account changes its username, so use it as a stable key.
Yes. Add the MCP server at https://api.stophy.dev/mcp to Claude, Cursor or Codex. The agent calls the endpoint by the id xProfile. There is nothing to install and no X login.
