How to search X users

New to Apify? Create a free account first. The free plan needs no credit card & gives $5 to spend each month. At $0.00015 per profile, $5 pays for up to 33,000 profiles before platform usage. Then come back here & press Try for free.

1. Open Xquik's X (Twitter) User Search Scraper in Apify Console.
2. Enter names, topics, bios or locations in searchTerms. Join alternatives with OR, as in Nike OR Adidas, to search each one.
3. Add filters such as minFollowers, verifiedOnly or locationContains.
4. Set maxItems to cap delivered profiles, then click Start.
5. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the Apify API.

Input

{
  "searchTerms": ["artificial intelligence", "machine learning"],
  "minFollowers": 1000,
  "maxItems": 10000
}

Small runs that go well skip run-report & save Apify usage. Turn on alwaysSaveRunRecords to write it on every run.

Migrate from another user search Actor

Paste the input you already use. Xquik's X (Twitter) User Search Scraper reads these field names of other Actors. Each line names their fields, then the field they map to.

• requireEmail, requireWebsite map to hasEmail, hasWebsite.
• In verification, any_verified sets verifiedOnly, blue_verified sets blueVerifiedOnly, business & government set verifiedType. unverified stops the run before any read or charge.
• bioKeywords maps to bioContains. Any 1 of its terms may match.
• locationKeywords with 1 value maps to locationContains. More values stop the run before any read or charge.
• emailDomains as a list maps to emailDomains.
• outputEmail, resolveShortLinks need no field. Every row carries its emails & X's full links.
• findEmails, extractEmails need no field. Rows carry the emails a profile publishes on X. The run status says the Actor reads no linked site.
• validateEmails needs no field. The run status says emails come as published, since the Actor checks no mailbox.

When you set one of these names & its canonical field, the canonical value wins. The run log names the field that lost.

Search autocomplete

Set mode to autocomplete to read what X suggests while someone types. Each search term returns suggested accounts, topics, hashtags & cashtags.

{
  "searchTerms": ["nasa", "$tsla"],
  "mode": "autocomplete",
  "suggestionTypes": ["users", "cashtags"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

• Start a term with # for hashtags or $ for cashtags.
• suggestionTypes keeps only the types you choose.
• Each row names its suggestionType & the text to search in suggestion.
• A cashtag row carries price, marketCap & dailyChangePercent.
• Profile filters apply only to mode: "search".

A suggestion row looks like this.

{
  "suggestionType": "user",
  "suggestion": "@sample_user",
  "username": "sample_user",
  "name": "Sample User",
  "verified": true,
  "sourceTarget": "sample"
}

Output

Each row holds a profile & its originating query in sourceTarget.

Examples use sample values. Results reflect live data. A profile row looks like this.

{
  "username": "sample_user",
  "name": "Sample User",
  "description": "Sample bio about artificial intelligence",
  "followers": 2500,
  "verified": false,
  "sourceTarget": "artificial intelligence"
}

Output columns

8 inputs shape each row after the run reads it. They run no code & change no price.

Field	What it does
fields	Keep only these fields, in the order & spelling you write
omitFields	Drop these fields & keep the rest
renameFields	Move a field to a column with a new name
flatten	Turn each nested object into top-level columns
fillMissingFields	Fill a kept field a row lacks with null. On by default
joinFields	Turn each of these lists into 1 text value
joinSeparator	Text between joined items. The default is a comma & a space
constantFields	Add a column with the same text on every row

• Use a dot for a field inside an object. Case & underscores do not matter.
• Every row keeps its id.
• With fields, a field a row lacks arrives as null. Every row then has the same columns.
• A wrong field name stops the run before it reads & charges nothing.
• If names cannot be checked, the run reads on & lists unseen names last.
• The run ignores a map function or jq filter written for another Actor.

How much does it cost to search X users?

Every Apify plan costs $0.00015 per delivered profile. An autocomplete suggestion costs the same per delivered row. Apify bills your platform usage separately.

For more volume, pick an Apify plan with more prepaid usage.

• One charge per delivered data row. Diagnostics are free in diagnostics.
• No start, query or page fee.
• Filters & deduplication run before billing.

Limits & recovery

Interrupted extraction writes a free partial diagnostic. Available results stay intact. Read availableResults, failedTargets, retryable & nextAction before you retry. A successful Actor exit confirms delivery, not complete extraction.

The run status names every cause of an early stop. stopCauses lists each cause with its own message, retryable & nextAction. The causes are target_not_found, target_failed, pagination_safety_limit & deadline_reached. A missing target joins the list only when another cause stopped the run. The run is retryable when any cause is.
