Frequently asked questions
What people ask before running the Twitter Profile Scraper.
Inputs and data
What do I give the Twitter Profile Scraper?
Screen name, such as elonmusk. Paste thousands at once or upload a CSV; duplicate inputs are skipped. 1 settings shape the run: see them in the playground.
What data does it return?
26 data attributes per profile, each with its description and an example: see the full list.
Do I get duplicates?
No. Duplicates are removed, and you only pay for unique results.
How fresh is the data?
As fresh as your run: each run collects the data from the site at the moment it runs, nothing comes from a stored database.
In what formats do I get the results?
CSV, Excel or JSON from the dashboard, through the API, or sent after every run to Google Sheets, Amazon S3, an SFTP server, a webhook or by email.
How long are my results kept?
7 days on the free plan, 45 days on Starter and Pro, 90 days on Team and Business. Then they can no longer be downloaded. Download or deliver what you want to keep.
Speed and reliability
How fast is the Twitter Profile Scraper?
Around 100 profiles a minute for one squid. Your plan's slots run several squids at the same time.
How reliable is it?
100.00% of its runs had no incident over the last 90 days (0 incidents, 100% fixed). Every day is on this page.
What happens when the site changes?
Our team fixes the scraper: every scraper on lobstr.io is built and maintained by us. How we measure.
Can runs repeat on their own?
Yes, on paid plans: every hour, every day, every weekday or on a custom schedule, in your time zone.
Pricing
How much does the Twitter Profile Scraper cost?
1 credit per result. The playground shows the price as you pick them.
Can I use it on the free plan?
Yes. The free plan gives 100 credits every month, 100 results with this scraper, exported in full.
How do the plans work?
Every month a plan gives credits, which pay for results, and slots, which set how many squids run at the same time. Starter: $20 for 10,000 credits; Pro: $100 for 100,000 credits; Team: $500 for 1,000,000 credits. Upgrades start right away and are prorated; downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the cycle.
Do unused credits roll over?
No. Your credits refresh every month with your plan.
What if I run out of credits?
You choose, per squid: pause and pick up where it stopped, or end the run. To keep going, upgrade or reset your billing cycle: your plan renews right away and your credits come back. Auto Billing Reset does it for you when your usage crosses a threshold you set.
Is there a yearly discount?
Yes: paying yearly takes 20% off every plan.
Can I get a refund?
A monthly plan: within 10 days of the charge, if no credit was used in that period. A yearly plan: within 30 days, in full if no credit was used, otherwise minus one month. Cancel from your billing page, then write to contact@lobstr.io. The details are in the terms of use.
Legal and privacy
Is scraping X (Twitter) legal?
Collecting publicly available data is generally allowed, but you choose what you collect and you are responsible for how you use it. Our terms of use (article 6) ask every user to respect the rights of the sites, not to extract substantial parts of a database, not to access confidential data and to follow personal data law such as the GDPR. This is not legal advice.
How does the GDPR apply?
When results contain personal data, you are the data controller and lobstr.io, a French company, processes them on your behalf, under our personal data agreement. You need a lawful basis for what you collect, must inform the people concerned and honor their requests.
How long does lobstr.io keep the data?
Results: 7 days on the free plan, 45 days on Starter and Pro, 90 days on Team and Business, then they can no longer be downloaded; you can delete them sooner. Your account data: see the privacy notice.
API and agents
Can I run it from my code?
Yes, through the REST API at https://api.lobstr.io/v1, with your key from the dashboard. The playground’s Code tab writes the calls for your settings, in cURL and Python. The documentation has the full reference.
Can my AI agent run it?
Yes. Add our MCP server, https://mcp.lobstr.io/mcp, to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client and sign in with lobstr.io. Your agent shows the cost and asks you before a run spends credits. The playground’s Agent tab gives you a prompt.
Do API calls cost credits?
No. Credits pay for results, not for requests.
Can I know when a run ends?
Yes. Point a webhook at your server and lobstr.io calls it when a run succeeds or fails.
Are there rate limits?
Yes, per endpoint: 120 requests a minute on squids and runs, 90 on tasks, 2 a second on results. Above that the API answers 429 with a Retry-After header.
