Follower export questions

Exporting

How do I export Twitter followers to CSV?

Enter the account at the top of this page, keep Followers selected and press Export followers. The newest 200 followers appear as full profiles; filter them if you like, then press CSV. For the whole list, Sorsa API returns 200 followers per request, from $0.007 per 1,000.

Can I export someone else’s followers?

Yes. Any public X account works, with no X login: a competitor’s, a creator’s, a brand’s. Protected accounts can’t be exported, because their lists are private.

How do I export a Twitter following list?

Choose Following before you press Export. You get the accounts it follows, newest first, with the same 19 columns as a followers export.

Can I export only verified followers?

Yes. Choose Verified to get only the followers with a checkmark. Few tools offer this list, and through Sorsa API it pages like any other.

Can I export to Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. Press Excel for an .xlsx file that keeps every ID as text, so no digits get rounded away, or CSV for Google Sheets and any other tool.

What the file holds

What does each row include?

A full profile in 19 columns: user ID, username, display name, bio, location, followers, following, posts, likes given, media, verified, protected, open DMs, creation date, account age, profile link, website, picture link and pinned post.

Does the export include email addresses?

No. X doesn’t publish email addresses or phone numbers, and this tool doesn’t collect them anywhere else.

Can I see when someone followed an account?

No. X keeps each list in order, newest first, but records no follow dates, so no export can include them.

Will the account know I exported its followers?

No. The export reads public data and never touches the account, or yours. Nothing is posted, and X sends no notice.

Do I need a browser extension?

No. The export runs on this page, with nothing to install and no X login. Looking for the Sorsa extension? It belongs to the Sorsa app at sorsa.io.

The free export and the API

Is it free?

Yes. The newest 200 profiles of any public list export here for free, with no sign-up and no X login. For whole lists, a free Sorsa API key comes with 100 requests: up to 20,000 followers, no card.

Why does the free export hold 200 profiles?

It is one page of the list as Sorsa API serves it: 200 profiles, newest first. Every page after it is one request on your own key, and your first 100 requests are free.

How do I export all followers of a big account?

Through Sorsa API: request /followers with the username, then send next_cursor back until it stops coming. Each request returns 200 followers, so a list of 50,000 costs from $0.35. The API playground does it without code.

How is this different from my X data archive?

The archive covers only your own account and lists followers as numeric IDs. This page exports any public account’s lists with full profiles, in seconds.

Can I export the followers of many accounts?

Yes, through Sorsa API: call /followers for each account, at 20 requests per second on every plan. From $0.007 per 1,000 followers, 1,000x cheaper than the official X API.

Every follower, not just the newest 200

Sorsa API reads any public followers or following list 200 profiles per request, from $0.007 per 1,000 followers: 1,000x cheaper than the official X API.
