Twitter Follower and Following Scraper for CSV Export
This Twitter follower scraper exports visible X/Twitter followers and following lists from profile list pages into a structured CSV. Import the workflow into the UScraper local desktop app, edit the target profile list URLs, and collect owner profile metadata, followed account handles, bios, profile URLs, avatar URLs, verification flags, follower counts, following counts, and list type without building against the X API.

Scrape Twitter followers and following lists locally
Use this template when you need a reviewable export of visible X profile relationships for social research, creator mapping, audience audits, or competitor monitoring. The bundled workflow starts with sample URLs for https://x.com/elonmusk/verified_followers and https://x.com/elonmusk/following, then keeps the owner profile fields beside every exported follow row so the CSV remains useful after you combine multiple accounts.
The automation is intentionally transparent: it sets a large viewport, navigates to each configured list URL, waits for the page body, pauses for X to hydrate the list, injects a collector, scrolls through visible batches, waits for a hidden export container, then runs Structured Export. If X redirects to login or does not expose user cells, the workflow writes a clear fallback row instead of silently creating an empty file.
Followers to CSV
Export Twitter followers and following entries with profile URLs, handles, bios, avatar URLs, and verification flags for spreadsheet review.
Two list types in one file
Append verified_followers and following rows into the same CSV while preserving the source list type for filtering.
Local desktop workflow
Target URLs, browser state, and CSV files stay in your desktop workflow unless you add your own sync, upload, or sharing step.
Login-aware fallback
When X sends the browser to login or an interstitial, the export records the intended account and list metadata with a diagnostic message.
Who this helps
Use cases for Twitter follower tracking and exports
Researchers
Network mapping
Favorable to scraping
Collect a documented list of accessible follower or following rows for a small account set, while keeping the owner handle and source list type attached.
Agencies
Creator discovery
Favorable to scraping
Turn approved X profile relationship pages into a CSV shortlist that can be deduped, enriched, and reviewed before outreach.
For adjacent X workflows, pair this page with the Twitter Data Scraper, Twitter People Search Scraper, and Twitter X Comments Scraper. Browse the UScraper template library when follower research leads to profile, post, or cross-platform collection.
How to use
Configure the X follower and following scraper
2
Replace the target profile lists
In Navigate, replace the sample /verified_followers and /following URLs with approved X profile list URLs that already load in your browser session.
3
Use the right browser session
Sign in to X in the UScraper browser profile if your target lists require authentication. Stop if X shows CAPTCHA, account warnings, or access restrictions.
4
Confirm the export path
Structured Export appends to twitter-follower-list-scraper.csv with headers. Change the save folder before client, campaign, or research-specific batches.
5
Run and review the CSV
UScraper scrolls the visible infinite list, builds temporary rows, exports them, and advances the loop. Spot-check handles, list type, and fallback rows before scaling.

CSV columns for Twitter followers to CSV
The export mirrors the workflow definition and keeps the profile owner fields beside every followed account row. The sample below is illustrative; live output depends on what X exposes for the current account, region, login state, and list page.

Frequently asked questions
X/Twitter follower and following pages may be visible in a signed-in browser, but automated collection can still be limited by platform terms, robots directives, privacy law, copyright, access controls, and local regulations. Use this workflow only for approved research, avoid bypassing login gates or technical restrictions, and get legal review before using exported relationship data commercially.
Before you run
Practical limits and maintenance notes
Operational guardrails for X/Twitter relationship exports
Rate limits
Avoid aggressive repeated runs
X can slow, hide, challenge, or limit follower and following pages when traffic looks unusual. Keep batches modest, avoid parallel profile loops, and pause when list pages stop loading normally.
Layout drift
List markup can change
Empty exports, missing bios, or fallback rows usually mean the browser session could not see user cells, X changed the list layout, or the account exposes only a limited relationship sample.
Policy
Use an approved access path
For sanctioned production integrations, compare the official X API follows endpoints and account permissions. Use desktop scraping only where it fits your legal, privacy, and platform-compliance review.
