How it works

How the follower count checker works

  1. 01

    Enter the username

    With or without @, or paste the profile link.

  2. 02

    Complete the captcha

    A few free lookups per day for each visitor.

  3. 03

    We ask X for the profile

    Our server calls GET /user/by/username/{username}?format=simple. The simple format returns the counts as plain numbers under counts.

  4. 04

    Read the numbers

    Exact counts, not rounded like 1.2M on the profile page.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I check how many followers an account has?

Enter the @username or paste the profile link, complete the captcha and press Check. You get the follower count as X reports it right now, plus following, posts, likes, media and how many lists the account is on.

Is the follower count live?

Yes. Each lookup asks X for the current profile. Identical lookups are cached for 10 minutes, so a number can be up to 10 minutes old.

What does the verification type mean?

X reports how an account is verified: Business (gold check), Government (grey check), or a blue check from an X Premium subscription. Accounts without a check show No.

Can I see who follows an account?

Not with this tool. The API lists followers and followings page by page (GET /user/{userId}/followers), including for large accounts.

Can I track follower growth over time?

Call the user endpoint on a schedule and store the counts. At API prices, checking 100 accounts every hour for a month is 72,000 calls.
