Get an X account's "About this account" details API
One call returns the account-about information of one X (Twitter) profile, looked up by screenname: where it is based, how often the username changed, and the app store source. The answer is one object, not a list.
2 live routes on X, from $0.00009 per call. Every route below answered our last live test on 2026-10-06; the gateway re-tests them daily.
Price per call, by route
The upstream price you are metered at, cheapest first. A route without a published price says so.
