- **Documentation:** [https://scrappa.co/docs/x-twitter/x_twitter_profile](https://scrappa.co/docs/x-twitter/x_twitter_profile)
- **API group:** X (Twitter) API
- **Endpoint:** `GET https://scrappa.co/api/x-twitter/profile`

## Authentication

Send your Scrappa API key in the `X-API-KEY` request header. Paid endpoints also support accountless x402 payments when called without an API key.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `handle` | string | Yes | <p>Screen name, with or without the leading @.</p> |
| `rest_id` | string | No | <p>Numeric account id. Accepted only together with a tweet_id, because no public route turns a bare numeric id into a screen name.</p> |
| `tweet_id` | string | No | <p>A tweet id by the same author. Required when rest_id is supplied without a handle.</p> |
