Extract public profile data from X (Twitter) — name, bio, follower/following counts, verification, profile/banner images, location, links, join date.
A web scraper for X (formerly Twitter) that pulls full public profile metadata without requiring account login, supporting bulk and concurrent profile extraction for large lists of handles or profile URLs. It captures structured profile identity information (handle and display name, account identifier, account creation date, public profile URL), bio content and every link in the bio, audience metrics (follower and following counts, total posts, media and likes counts, listed count), verification and status details (blue/legacy verification, protected status, verification reason text), affiliate relationships (parent account name, link, and badge image), high-resolution media links (profile image and banner), pinned-post identifiers, and quality signals (default-avatar and possibly-sensitive flags), producing record-oriented metadata suitable for analysis, enrichment, and monitoring workflows.
