How this service works
Proxy the corresponding X API v2 endpoint. x402 authorizes up to $10.00; successful responses settle at X's public non-owned per-resource/per-action price.
Output
Returns an X API v2 user object for the specified username, including fields such as user ID, name, username, description, public metrics (followers, following, tweet count), and account creation date. The response mirrors the standard X API v2 /users/by/username/:username response structure.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you look up the X profile for the account with username 'kickerai' and give me their user ID and profile details?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://simple-x-api.com/api/2/users/by/username/kickeraiWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to resolve an X (Twitter) username to a full user object including their numeric user ID, bio, and public metrics, without managing your own X API credentials or OAuth tokens. Ideal for AI agents that need to enrich a known Twitter handle with structured profile data. Prefer over direct X API calls when you want pay-per-use billing via x402 with no subscription required.
Side effects
- Username not found – X API returns 404 with error code indicating user does not exist
- User suspended or deactivated – X returns error indicating account unavailable
- Rate limit exceeded – X API or proxy returns 429 Too Many Requests
- Invalid username format – malformed handle causes request rejection
- Payment failure – x402 payment of up to $10 USDC not authorized, request blocked
- Network/proxy error – simple-x-api.com proxy itself is unreachable
