How this service works
Look up a public X/Twitter user by handle. Returns id, username, display name, bio, location, followers/following/statuses counts, verified flag, createdAt, profile image. Query: username (required, no @). e.g. GET /users/by/username?username=elonmusk
Output
Returns a JSON object with the user's numeric ID, username, display name, and followers count for the requested X handle.
Example use cases
Influencer follower count check
“What's the current follower count for the Twitter account @sama? I want to know if they've crossed 1 million followers yet.”
Resolve username to user ID
“I need the numeric Twitter user ID for the account 'balajis' — can you look that up for me?”
Verify a public figure's X profile
“Can you pull up the public X profile for 'BillGates' and tell me their display name and follower count so I can confirm it's the real account?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://x-data-gateway.annushka1190.workers.dev/users/by/usernameWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-request access to Twitter/X user profile data without setting up an official Twitter API account or managing API keys. Ideal for AI agents that need occasional profile lookups in USDC microtransactions via x402 protocol.
Side effects

- Rate limiting or payment failure — x402 payment may be rejected if USDC balance is insufficient
- Private or suspended accounts may return no data or a restricted response
- Malformed username (e.g. including @ symbol) may return an error
