usernametextgive exactly one of id, username, ids

X handle, without the @. Example: NASA.

Several X user IDs, each a string of digits. Example: ["11348282","415859364"]. At most 100 in one request.

viewtext

How much of each item to return. All three cost the same. Values: compact, standard (default), full.

fieldslist of text

Return only these fields. Each by its path, such as author.name.

A request with ids is a POST with a JSON body; every other request is a GET.

Known limits

  • One object per call: there is nothing to page.
  • Up to 100 objects come back in one call with ids; there is no next page.

Returned fields

data.item is one account object. Stable: fields are only ever added. With ids the answer is data.items, and what was not found is listed in data.missing.

Prices as read 2026-10-21 09:10 UTC, under price book 2, in effect since 2026-10-17 11:00 UTC; the Playground reads the price in force before a run.

If the object does not exist

The answer is 404 not_found and nothing is charged. reason says which: not_found (it does not exist) or private_or_deleted.

With ids, each ID that was not found is listed in data.missing with the reason, and the rest come back; when none is found the result is empty and nothing is charged.

Brief for an AIEverything needed to call it, as text
Show the text
Use the DataXAPI endpoint x.users.get (X user profile). Get an X user's profile by handle or ID: name, bio, follower and following counts, verification; up to 100 IDs in one request.
Call GET https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/x/users/get with the header "Authorization: Bearer $DATAXAPI_API_KEY". Read the key from the environment variable DATAXAPI_API_KEY; never write it into code.
Parameters:
- id: X user ID, a string of digits. Example: 11348282.
- username: X handle, without the @. Example: NASA.
- ids: Several X user IDs, each a string of digits. Example: ["11348282","415859364"]. At most 100 in one request.
- view: How much of each item to return. All three cost the same. Values: compact, standard (default), full.
- fields: Return only these fields. Each by its path, such as author.name.
Price: $0.0004 per item returned, at least $0.0004 and at most $0.0400 a call. Errors, timeouts and objects that do not exist are not charged; an empty result is free.
The answer is JSON: data.item holds account; meta.billing.amount is what this call was charged.
Example:
curl -G "https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/x/users/get" \
  --data-urlencode "id=11348282" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DATAXAPI_API_KEY"
