Where the Twitter Scraper Works
Open any of these Twitter/X pages and the extension detects it automatically — no URLs to paste, no configuration
Followers List
Open any account’s Followers tab and export the full list — username, display name, bio, follower counts, website, location, verified status — row by row as you scroll.
Following List
Same as followers, but for who an account follows. Compare both exports to map mutuals, audience overlap, and who your competitors pay attention to.
Profile Pages
Scrape all tweets from any profile timeline — content, engagement metrics, media, post dates — plus the profile’s own bio and stats.
Single Post — Replies
Open a tweet and capture its entire reply thread to analyze sentiment, find engaged users, or archive a conversation.
Search Results
Run any Twitter/X search and export the matching tweets and their authors as structured rows instead of scrolling and copy-pasting.
Hashtag Pages
Scrape every tweet under a hashtag to map a trend: who posts, what performs, and which accounts drive it.
Lists & Communities
Extract tweets and authors from any public X List or Community feed — ready-made, curated audiences to analyze.
Home & Explore Feed
Capture tweets from your home timeline or Explore page as you browse to study what the algorithm is pushing.

Twitter Scraper FAQ
How do I scrape Twitter followers?
Install the InsightSocial Chrome extension, open the profile you want to analyze on twitter.com or x.com, and click into its Followers tab. The extension detects the page automatically — hit Start and it collects every follower as you scroll: username, display name, bio and bio links, follower and following counts, website, location, verified status, and join date. Export to Excel, CSV, or JSON when done.
Is the Twitter scraper free?
Yes. Scraping is unlimited on every plan — you can collect an entire followers list or timeline and browse all of it for free. Only exporting is metered: the free plan includes 500 export credits per month, one credit per exported row. If you need more, Pro starts at $7.99/month billed yearly (or $9.99 month-to-month) with 10,000 export credits per month.
Do I need a Twitter/X API key?
No. The official X API no longer has a usable free tier for reading data, but the extension does not touch the API at all — it reads the same data Twitter already sends to your browser while you scroll. No developer account, no API key, no rate-limit paperwork.
What Twitter data can I extract?
Full follower and following lists, tweets from any profile, search, hashtag, List, or Community feed (content, likes, retweets, replies, views, media, post date), complete reply threads on single posts, your own liked posts, and rich profile data including bio, links, website, and location.
What export formats are supported?
Excel (.xlsx), CSV, and JSON — one click each. Results also sync to your web dashboard, so you can browse, filter, and re-export them later from any device.
Is scraping Twitter legal?
Collecting publicly visible data for research and analysis is generally permitted in most jurisdictions, but you are responsible for complying with X’s Terms of Service and the laws that apply to you, especially around personal data. InsightSocial only captures what is publicly shown on the pages you visit — it never accesses private accounts or hidden data.
Will Twitter ban my account?
The extension behaves like a normal reader: it scrolls the page in your own browser session and never performs actions on your behalf — no auto-liking, following, or posting. Keeping scrape volumes reasonable makes the activity look like ordinary browsing, but as with any tool, moderation is wise.
Need to scrape other platforms?
InsightSocial also supports LinkedIn, TikTok, and Facebook.
