Output
Returns the X API v2 user object for the specified username, including user ID, display name, username, and other public profile fields as returned by the X API v2 users/by/username endpoint.
Example use cases
Verify influencer identity before partnership
“Can you look up the X profile for @TechVoiceXYZ? I need to verify their follower count and account creation date before we finalize this sponsorship deal.”
Find creator contact info for outreach
“Look up the Twitter profile for username blockchain_sarah. I'm trying to reach out to them for a collaboration and need their verified account details.”
Resolve handles for social media audit
“I have a list of Twitter handles from our marketing campaign. Can you pull the X profile data for @CryptoNewsDaily? I need to check if it's still an active account.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://simple-x-api.com/api/2/users/by/username/DavidPawlan?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to look up an X (Twitter) user profile by their @username handle and require the X API v2 user object, especially when operating in a crypto-native or x402 payment context where USDC micropayments are acceptable. Prefer this over direct X API access when you lack your own X API credentials or need a simple pay-per-use proxy.
Side effects
- Username does not exist — X API returns 404 not found
- Username suspended or deactivated account
- Payment authorization fails or insufficient USDC balance
- X API rate limit exceeded on the proxy
- Username contains invalid characters causing request rejection
- X API downstream outage
