From Request to Clean JSON

You write one line. We do everything between the request and the data.

You send

One API call

GET the Twitter / X endpoint with your key. That's all your code does.

We handle

Proxies · captchas · parsing

Residential exit, anti-bot walls, JS rendering and extraction, all server-side, on us.

You get

Clean JSON

A structured object every time. No HTML, no scraping code, no maintenance.

The Twitter / X Profile endpoint is one API call: send an account handle with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull a public X profile from a handle: bio, follower and following counts, verification, join date and pinned post. HProxy runs the proxies, sessions, anti-bot handling and parsing server-side, so there is no headless browser to babysit and no parser to keep fixing when Twitter / X changes its markup. You only ever touch the JSON.

What the Twitter / X Profile API returns

bio / links

Public bio text and any linked URLs.

counts

Followers, following and post or video counts.

isVerified

Verification and account-type flags.

avatar

Profile image URL and display name.

GET/api/v1/scrape/twitter/profile

Parameters

handlestringrequired

Account handle or @username.

trimbooleanoptional

Return a slimmed-down payload (drops verbose fields).

cache_max_agestringoptional

Accept a cached result up to this old (1d, 3d, 7d, 14d or 30d) and pay nothing for it. Omit for a live scrape. Allowed values: `1d`, `3d`, `7d`, `14d`, `30d`.

Example request

cURL

curl "https://hproxy.com/api/v1/scrape/twitter/profile?handle=nasa" \
  -H "X-API-Key: hpx_your_key_here"

POST with a JSON body works too. Failed calls, timeouts and rate-limited calls are never billed.

Create a free account

Grab your API key

One key from the dashboard authenticates every scraper, Twitter / X profile included.

Call the endpoint

No captchas, ever

Anti-bot walls, JS rendering and rate limits are handled server-side. You call an API, that is the whole job.

Residential-backed

Every request exits through HProxy's own residential network, so it looks like a real user on a real device.

Pay per call

No subscription, no seat licenses. Calls are billed from your balance and the balance never expires.

Fresh on every call

Responses are scraped live at request time, no stale cache dressed up as data.

Failures are free
