XGo Twitter Profile Viewing Capability

Overview

The XGo Twitter/X User Profile Viewing capability uses the open API at xgo.ing to quickly retrieve complete profile information and the latest tweet activity for Twitter/X users. It is suitable for scenarios such as KOL research, brand partnership screening, and competitor analysis.

Use Cases

KOL and Blogger Background Research

Before running brand partnerships or marketing campaigns, quickly obtain key information about target accounts—such as follower count, following count, bio, and tags—using a username, userId, or feedId. You can also review recent tweets to understand content style and engagement patterns.

Real-Time User Data Tracking

When you need the latest real-time metrics (e.g., follower count, number of tweets), use the user/info endpoint to pull the most current information directly from Twitter. This fits monitoring and analysis scenarios that require up-to-date data.

User Activity Content Analysis

Retrieve up to about 100 of a target user’s recent tweets, then analyze content themes, engagement metrics, and media usage to help assess account activity and influence.

Core Features

User Lookup via Multiple Methods

Supports three ways to search for users: username (e.g., elonmusk), userId, or feedId. If only an ID is available without a username, it automatically calls the details endpoint to fetch full information.

Parallel Profile and Tweet Retrieval

Calls both user/info and tweet/latest interfaces at the same time, returning user profile data and the latest tweets in a single response. By default, it fetches around 60 recent tweets; you can customize the number of pages (up to 5 pages).

Structured Data Output

Transforms the raw API response into an easy-to-read report format, including basic information, data overview, and a tweet list (with engagement metrics, hashtags, mentions, media, etc.), making it ready for direct use or further analysis.

FAQs

How do I use XGo to view a Twitter user’s profile?

Before use, you need to set the environment variable XGO_API_KEY, and then call the interface using the username. For example, to view the profile of @elonmusk, it will parallel-fetch the user information and latest tweets, returning a complete user report.

What Twitter user information can XGo query?

It can retrieve basic details such as display name, username, bio, location, website, and account registration time, as well as data overviews like follower count, following count, tweet count, like count, and media count. It can also provide tag information and full content of the user’s latest tweets, along with detailed engagement data and mentioned accounts.

What are the limitations of the free version of XGo?

Using the open API requires Plus or Pro membership permissions. For rate limits: PLUS allows 200 requests per minute, while PRO allows 600 requests per minute. If you encounter a 429 error, it means the rate limit has been reached; you’ll need to wait and retry or upgrade your plan.
