FAQ

Questions about Get User Profile.

What does the Get User Profile action do in Twitter / X?

Fetches a Twitter/X user profile by username with public metrics (followers, following, tweet count). Falls under the v2 read endpoints, which require Basic-tier API access or higher.

What inputs does Get User Profile require?

Required: Username. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Twitter / X returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Get User Profile support batch operations?

Yes. Run Get User Profile inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Twitter / X's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
