Identify high-value leads from verified lists.
Send a user ID to receive profile data for verified followers. Filter out anonymous accounts to focus on paying users and organizations.
How it works
One request, one response.
- 1
Submit user ID
Provide the numeric ID of the target account and an optional pagination cursor to the endpoint.
- 2
Filter verification status
The system scans the follower list to isolate accounts with active Blue, Gold, or Grey checkmarks.
- 3
Receive structured data
Access a JSON array containing profile metadata and a cursor for the next set of results.
Capabilities
What you get.
Everything this endpoint does, without running the infrastructure yourself.
Multi-tier verification support
Capture individual Blue subscribers alongside Gold business accounts and Grey government entities in a single request.
Deep profile metadata
Retrieve bio text, follower counts, and location data for every verified account in the returned list.
Reliable cursor pagination
Navigate massive follower bases using the cursor parameter to maintain state across multiple sequential requests.
Signal quality filtering
Use the verification badge as a primary filter to eliminate low-quality, unverified, or automated noise from your data.
Cost of ownership
Build it yourself, or call this.
Both are real options. Here is what each one actually costs you.
Build it yourself
- Register for high-tier enterprise API access and handle monthly minimums
- Build complex logic to iterate and filter thousands of followers manually
- Maintain infrastructure to handle frequent platform UI and policy changes
Use the API
- Single endpoint returns only verified accounts with no local filtering needed
- Pay per successful call with no monthly platform subscription fee
- Receive cleaned JSON data without managing rotating proxies or session cookies
Integrate
Built for the language you use.
One HTTP endpoint. Copy the call in your language and go.
curl -X POST https://automatio.ai/api/v1/query \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTOMATIO_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "tool": "twitter_verified_followers", "params": { "twitterUserId": "example" } }'In production
What people build with it.
SaaS lead generation
Extract verified followers from a competitor's account to identify users who already pay for digital platform subscriptions. This signals a higher intent to purchase and a willingness to pay for premium features.
Influencer audience auditing
Analyze the percentage of verified followers a creator has to determine the authenticity of their audience. This helps brands calculate the potential reach among high-authority accounts before booking campaigns.
B2B partnership mapping
Identify which Gold-checkmarked organizations follow a specific brand to map out their corporate network. This data is used to find new partnership opportunities or identify industry alliances.
Choosing parameters
Which options matter.
The table below lists what exists. These are the calls worth making deliberately.
- twitterUserId
- cursor
Alternatives
When to use something else.
A page that pretends it has no alternatives reads as an advert. These are the other real options.
Official X Enterprise API
The best choice for companies needing native platform support and high-volume raw data access if they have the budget for platform fees.
Manual UI Export
A functional option for one-off research tasks where you only need to scrape a small handful of visible names from your browser.
Before you integrate
What it does not do.
The boundaries are as useful as the features. These are the ones worth knowing up front.
No private profile access
The endpoint cannot retrieve the follower list for accounts set to private without authorized access to that profile.
Public data only
It does not return private information such as email addresses, phone numbers, or account creation IP addresses.
Verification does not equal human
While verification significantly reduces bot noise, some automated agents and corporate bots hold verified status.
