How it works

## How the account location checker works

1. 01

  Enter the username

  With or without @, or paste the profile link.
2. 02

  We read the About this account panel

  Our server calls `GET /user/about/{username}?format=simple`, which returns the panel under `about`.
3. 03

  You see the result

  The country first, then username changes, join date and verification.

FAQ

## Frequently asked questions

**How do I see where an X account is based?**

Enter the @username or paste the profile link and press Check. You get the country or region X shows in the account's About this account panel. On X itself, tap the Joined date on the profile to open the same panel.

**Is this the location in the profile?**

No. The location under the bio is free text the user typed. The country here is the one X itself assigns to the account.

**How accurate is it?**

It is what X shows, nothing more. X does not explain how it decides the country, and some accounts carry X's own note that the location may be inaccurate. Treat it as one signal, not proof.

**Why is no location shown for some accounts?**

X does not show the panel data for every account. When X sends no country, the tool says so instead of guessing.

**What does "Connected via" mean?**

How the account connects to X, shown in the panel as the app download method, for example Web.

**Can I check many accounts at once?**

This free tool checks one account at a time. With the API, /user/about/batch returns the panel data of up to 20 accounts per call, for example everyone replying to a post.
