The Twitter User Profiles Extract API is a RESTful API that provides structured access to the data from the most-followed Twitter accounts. It enables clients to retrieve a list of top Twitter accounts, fetch detailed descriptions of account owners using their username, and query follower counts by name. By segmenting the data into focused endpoints, the API avoids overloading responses and supports filtered, targeted queries for analytics, social media research, or integration into dashboards. This API is ideal for developers, researchers, and social media analysts who need up-to-date information about Twitter’s most-followed profiles.
This endpoint does not require any input parameters.

The Twitter User Profiles Extract API allows you to retrieve a curated list of the most-followed Twitter accounts, detailed descriptions of account owners, and follower counts for specific usernames.
The API returns data in a structured JSON format, which includes fields such as account names, descriptions, and follower counts, making it easy to parse and integrate into applications.
This API can be used for social media analytics, research on influencer marketing, integration into dashboards for tracking social media trends, and gathering insights on audience engagement with top profiles.
The API responses include fields such as 'username', 'description', 'follower_count', and 'profile_url', providing comprehensive details about each Twitter account.
Developers can use the API's dedicated endpoints to fetch data programmatically, allowing for seamless integration into web or mobile applications for real-time analytics and social media insights.
The "get top twitter accounts" endpoint returns a list of usernames of the most-followed Twitter accounts. The "get owner information by username" endpoint provides the real name and description of the account owner. The "get follower count by username" endpoint returns the follower count for a specified username, including the unit of measurement.
Key fields include 'username' for account identification, 'real_name' for the owner's name, 'description' for account details, and 'follower_count' for the number of followers, which is expressed in millions.
The response data is structured in JSON format. Each endpoint returns a specific object containing relevant fields. For example, the follower count endpoint returns an object with 'username', 'follower_count', and 'unit', making it easy to access specific information.
The "get owner information by username" and "get follower count by username" endpoints require a 'username' parameter, which must be provided to retrieve the corresponding data. Users can obtain valid usernames from the "get top twitter accounts" endpoint.
Users can customize requests by selecting specific usernames from the curated list provided by the "get top twitter accounts" endpoint. This allows for targeted queries to fetch detailed information or follower counts for particular accounts of interest.
Typical use cases include analyzing social media trends, researching influencer impact, monitoring follower growth of popular accounts, and integrating insights into marketing dashboards for strategic decision-making.
Data accuracy is maintained by regularly updating the curated list of top Twitter accounts and ensuring that the information retrieved from Twitter is current. This helps provide reliable insights for users relying on the API.
Users can expect consistent data patterns, such as the follower count being represented in millions and account descriptions being concise. The structure of responses will remain uniform across different endpoints, facilitating easier integration and analysis.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs.
