Short answer: You can get user profile in X (Twitter) by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the X (Twitter) Get User Profile action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Get User Profile.

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

Returns an X/Twitter user profile by username with public metrics (followers, following, tweet count). Requires Basic API tier 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 X (Twitter) returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message X (Twitter) returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Get User Profile support batch operations?

Run Get User Profile inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within X (Twitter)'s rate limits.
