Need to pull Twitter user data by their numeric ID, but find the official API too restrictive or slow? I've been there. This actor is basically a workaround that lets you fetch public Twitter profiles using their internal rest_id—that unique number behind every handle. It's become my go-to for projects where I need consistent, reliable user data without jumping through all of Twitter's hooves. You feed it a list of these numeric IDs, and it returns the core profile details: the handle, display name, bio, follower and following counts, verification status, and the profile/header image URLs. It handles the quirks of Twitter's front-end, managing sessions and requests so you don't have to. I use it mostly for building datasets for social research, auditing follower networks, or populating user information in dashboards when I only have the ID from an older dataset. It runs on Apify's platform, so you can schedule it, pipe the clean JSON data into other tools, and scale it if you have a long list to process. It’s a straightforward, focused tool that does one job well.
