Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to scrape Twitter/X data?

Yes — scraping public data on X is fully legal as long as you have lawful access and extract it in a non-substantial way. See our legality of web scraping blog for full guidance.

Do I need to sync an X/Twitter account?

Yes — an X account sync is required to access followers and following lists. Lobstr.io syncs via a Chrome extension and uses session cookies, never your password. See how to sync an account.

Can I scrape both followers and following in one run?

Yes — pick followers, following, or both per task. Just toggle the options when you launch the crawler and the results come back tagged with the relationship type.

What input does the crawler accept?

Both usernames and profile URLs work. Drop in ShehriarAwan or https://x.com/ShehriarAwan — mix and match in the same task, no formatting required.

What data do I get for each user?

You get 30+ data points per user: name, screen name, bio, website, location, followers/following/tweets/likes counts, verification status, profile image, banner, account creation date, professional category and more.

How fast is the scraper?

Up to 200 profiles per minute. Speed scales with the number of synced accounts you connect to the task.

Can my X account get banned for scraping?

Not with lobstr.io. We respect X's rate limits and pace requests to keep your account safe. Learn more about staying under the radar in this guide.

In what format can I export the results?

You can export results as CSV and JSON. You can also push results straight to Google Sheets.
