X (Twitter) Community Info & Moderators Scraper

X (Twitter)

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

A web-scraping connector that extracts comprehensive metadata for X (Twitter) Communities and optional moderator profiles. It collects community-level data such as name, description and joining question, member and moderator counts, creation date, join and invites policies, primary topic and search tags, NSFW flag, and the full rules list (rule titles and descriptions); it also captures community creator and admin identifiers, banner image link, and direct community link. Optionally it harvests moderator profile data including usernames and user identifiers, display names, verification status, bios and locations, follower/following counts, total post counts, account creation dates, and profile images and URLs. Operates without user authentication or cookies and produces structured community and moderator records for downstream analysis, discovery, outreach, and research.
