Twitter User Tool

Look up user profiles and social connections on Twitter/X via X API v2.

How It Works

This skill provides instructions for the Twitter User tool node. Connect the Twitter User node to an AI Agent's input-tools handle to enable user lookups.

All operations use OAuth 2.0 user context with automatic token refresh on expiry.

Guidelines

Usernames: Provide without the @ symbol (e.g., elonmusk not @elonmusk)
User IDs: Use the numeric ID string. Get these from search results (author_id) or user lookups
Rate limits: me endpoint is heavily rate-limited (25/24hr on free tier) -- avoid calling repeatedly
Max results: Minimum 1, maximum 1000 per request for followers/following
Pagination: Only the first page is returned. For large accounts, max_results controls page size
Defaults to self: If user_id is omitted for followers/following, it defaults to the authenticated user
Token refresh: If a 401/403 error occurs, the system automatically refreshes the OAuth token and retries

Common Use Cases

Get your own profile information and bio
Look up profiles of users you interact with
Check if users are verified
Analyze follower/following relationships and growth
Build lists of relevant accounts in a niche
Get user IDs from usernames for use in search queries (e.g., from:username)
Compare follower counts between accounts

Setup Requirements

Connect the Twitter User node to an AI Agent's input-tools handle
Ensure Twitter is connected (authenticated via OAuth in Credentials Modal)
Your X Developer account must have appropriate API access level
Required OAuth scopes: users.read, follows.read, offline.access
