# Twitter profile API - Veezee

Fetch one X (formerly Twitter) account's profile: name, bio, location, website, follower and following counts, tweet and media counts, verification state, and join date. The identifier is a screen name without the @, a full x.com or twitter.com URL, or the numeric account id.

It costs 4 credits. The returned platform_fields.id is stable across handle changes: store it for repeat lookups.

## Try it now

No account, no card: mint a free key in one call, then call the endpoint.

  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)"
```

## Over MCP

Point an MCP client at `https://mcp.veezee.io/x` (streamable-http; `https://mcp.veezee.io/all` serves every platform over one connection) and call `x_get_profile`:

```json
{
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "x_get_profile",
    "arguments": {
      "identifier": "nasa"
    }
  }
}
```

## Parameters

| Param | Required | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `identifier` | yes | `string` | Screen name without the @ (e.g. 'nasa'), profile URL, or numeric account id. |
| `by` | no | `string` | Force how identifier is interpreted; auto-detected when omitted. |
| `freshness` | no | `string` | recent (default) serves cached data from the last few hours when available; realtime forces a live fetch for +2 credits (refunded if we fall back to cached data). Trial keys are cached-only and reject realtime with TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED; paying upgrades this same key to unlock it. |
| `max_credits` | no | `integer` | Spend ceiling for this one call. The call is rejected (nothing charged) if its quote exceeds this. Only the quote is ever reserved, never this ceiling. |

Returns a `x_profile` envelope. Full field list: https://veezee.io/docs/fields#x_profile

## Pricing

`x_get_profile` costs 4 credits base per call (surcharges for optional sections, cursor pages, and batches: https://veezee.io/docs/tools/x_get_profile). Every key starts with a free budget of 200 credits per IP per day, no account, no card; past that, credits are $2.00 per 1,000 with no subscription required.

## FAQ

**Can I get the follower list?**

No: counts only, no follower enumeration.

**What about an account whose handle is all digits?**

Numeric strings are treated as ids; force handle interpretation with `by=screen_name`.

**How do I read what the account posts?**

The [user tweets API](https://veezee.io/user-tweets-api) fetches the timeline.
