Scrape X Profile
The Scrape X Profile block retrieves publicly available profile data from an X (formerly Twitter) account given a profile URL or username.
Scrape public profile data from any X account
The Scrape X Profile block retrieves publicly available profile data from an X (formerly Twitter) account given a profile URL or username. You provide a full URL such as https://x.com/elonmusk or just the username, and the block fetches the account's profile information and returns it in multiple formats for use downstream in your workflow.
The block returns a profile object containing the raw text and HTML of the profile page, optional structured JSON data, a screenshot URL, and metadata including the page title, description, URL, and image. The structured JSON output includes fields such as the account's numeric ID, display name, username, bio, profile image URL, banner image URL, account creation date, follower and following counts, tweet and like counts, verification status, and business status. You can optionally store the result in a named variable for reference later in the workflow.
This block fits into workflows that involve monitoring public figures or brands, aggregating social media data for analysis, enriching contact or lead records with social profile details, or building tools that surface account information on demand. Because it targets public profile data rather than posts or timelines, it is well suited for identity research, audience analysis, and profile-based enrichment tasks.

What input is required to use this block?
The block requires a url field, which accepts either a full X profile URL (e.g. https://x.com/elonmusk) or a username. The destinationVar field is optional and lets you store the returned profile data in a named variable for use later in the workflow.
What data does the block return?
The block returns a profile object containing text and HTML representations of the profile page, an optional screenshotUrl, optional metadata (title, description, URL, and image), and an optional structured JSON object. The JSON includes fields such as id, name, username, bio, profileImageUrl, bannerImageUrl, createdAt, stats (followers, following, tweets, likes), isVerified, isBusiness, and url.
