Check where any X (Twitter) accounts are based, when they were created, how they signed up, and how often they changed username. Bulk lookup for bot and fraud detection.
A bulk account metadata extractor for X (Twitter) that pulls the platform's "About this account" provenance signals for many handles at once without login or cookies. It collects the country X reports the account operates from, account creation date and computed age (including a new-account flag for accounts under 90 days), signup source and normalized platform (App Store / Google Play / Web), username change counts and frequency flags, declared organizational affiliation and badge details, verification status types and the date verification began, accuracy indicators for country and location, protected status, display name and user identifier, and profile image and URL. The connector normalizes these origin/history signals into per-account records and marks accounts with provenance-related flags useful for large-scale analysis, automated screening, and OSINT workflows.
