get_twitter_user_profileLABSCO SUMMARY
An agent can read public Twitter/X data without X's developer platform.
Profiles, follower graphs and individual tweets come back through one key from ScrapeBadger — so a lookup is a tool call rather than an application for API access.
What it is
A client for the ScrapeBadger API, installed from PyPI. It reads public Twitter/X data — profiles, follower and following lists, individual tweets — through ScrapeBadger's key rather than through X's developer platform.
What you get
- A user's profile, and the longer about information behind it
- Who a user follows, and who follows them
- A single tweet fetched by id
- Users found by search
Requirements
A ScrapeBadger account and its API key in the client config. Runs straight from uvx with no install step, or from pip if you prefer it resident.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — uvx scrapebadger-mcp, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Checking who someone is before you reply
Read the profile and the longer about text together, so the decision rests on more than a display name.
02
Finding the right account among several with the same name
Search users on the name, then open the profiles until the one you meant is obvious.
03
Mapping who an account is connected to
Pull the following and follower lists to see the circle an account sits in, not just its numbers.
04
Pulling a tweet you only have a link to
Fetch the tweet by its id so the text is in the conversation and not in a screenshot.
