X (Twitter) Followers Contact Extractor

X (Twitter)

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

Scans an X (Twitter) account's followers and/or following lists to extract contact information and profile metadata for lead generation and outreach. The connector parses profile bios to detect and return email addresses, website URLs (resolving shortened links), and social links (Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub, Telegram, Linktree, and more), and records which bio keywords matched. It supports relationship selection (followers/following/both), filtering by presence of contact info, bio keywords, location keywords, follower-count threshold, and verification status, and emits per-profile contact records containing contact details plus profile metadata such as username, display name, bio text, location, follower/following/tweet counts, verification flag, account creation date, DM availability, profile image, profile URL, and a resume cursor for scanning very large audiences. Operates without login or cookies.
