Twitter Recent Followers Tracker
Sorsa API’s recent followers tracker shows who just followed any public X account and who it recently followed, newest first.
Enter an account above and its 20 newest followers appear here, newest first.
How to see someone’s recent followers on X
Enter their @username at the top of this page and the 20 newest followers appear, newest first. Choose Following to see the 20 accounts they followed most recently instead. Both lists come in the order X keeps them, newest at the top, but X records no follow dates, so you see the order, not the day.
- 1Enter the accountType an @username or paste a profile link: yours or anyone’s, as long as the account is public.
- 2Pick a directionFollowers shows the newest people who followed the account. Following shows the accounts it followed most recently.
- 3Read it newest firstThe 20 newest appear in a second or two, in the order X keeps them. Tap a row to open that profile on X.
What each row tells you
- 1Name and @usernameThe display name and the handle, with the verified badge when the account has one.
- 2BioWhat the account says about itself. An empty bio on a brand-new account is worth a second look.
- 3Followers and followingIts own audience, so you can tell a known name from a fresh account at a glance.
- 4Open on XThe profile on X, one tap away.

See who someone recently followed on X
Choose Following above and this following list viewer shows the 20 accounts someone followed most recently, newest first. A follow is a choice, so those names show where their attention went this week.
- CompetitorsThe partners, tools and people a rival brand started following, often before any announcement.
- Investors and foundersThe projects a fund or a founder just began watching. In crypto the follow often comes before the tweet.
- Creators and expertsWho someone you learn from pays attention to now, not years ago.
Need to know whether one account follows another? The Twitter Follow Checker answers that in one step, both ways.

Real followers or a bot wave?
A follower count can’t tell real fans from bought ones; the newest 20 can. A burst of new followers with empty bios, default pictures and no followers of their own is usually a bot wave, not reach.
A healthy gain
Filled-in bios, follower counts that vary, a few names you know.
- Inês Duarte@ines_duarte_photoPhotographer. Light, steam and early mornings.3,055 followers
- Marcus Webb@marcus_webb_runsMarathoner. Coffee is part of the training plan.921 followers
- Aiko Tanaka@aiko_tanaka_studioCeramicist. I make the cups you drink from.6,212 followers
A bot wave
No bios, no followers, handles that end in strings of numbers, all in a row.
- user582109331745@user582109331745No bio0 followers
- Free Follows@freefollows_x_0921No bio1 followers

What X doesn’t show
No follow dates
X keeps the order of follows, newest first, but not the day each one happened. The list tells you who is newest, not when.
No history, no unfollow list
X keeps each list as it is right now. Nobody can rebuild an old list or a list of unfollows after the fact.
Start your own history
History is something you collect, not something you look up: save the list through Sorsa API every day and compare each copy with the one before. New names are new follows, and missing names are unfollows. The Twitter followers API guide shows the code.

}Questions about recent followers on X
Using the tracker
How do I see who someone recently followed on X (Twitter)?
Enter their @username, choose Following and press Show recent following. You get the 20 accounts they followed most recently, newest first, each with a link to the profile on X.
How do I see someone’s recent followers?
Enter the @username, keep Followers selected and press Show recent followers. The 20 newest followers appear, newest first, with name, bio and follower counts.
Can I see my own newest followers?
Yes. Enter your own @username to see your 20 newest followers without digging through Notifications, where follows are mixed with likes and replies.
Will they know I looked?
No. Nothing is posted, and X sends the account no notice that someone looked at its lists.
What the lists can show
Does X show followers in chronological order?
Yes, newest first. X keeps followers and following lists in the order the follows happened, latest at the top, but it records no dates, so you see the order, not the day.
Can I see when someone followed an account?
No. X records no follow dates, so no tool can show the day of a follow made in the past. The list shows the order: the higher a name, the more recent the follow.
Can I see who unfollowed someone, or followers over time?
Not from one look. History has to be collected: save the list through Sorsa API on a schedule and compare each copy with the one before. New names are new follows; missing names are unfollows.
Can I see someone’s full followers or following list?
Here you see the newest 20. A free Sorsa API key returns the whole list, 200 accounts per request, in the API playground or your own code, and your first 100 requests cover up to 20,000 accounts.
Can I check a private (protected) account?
No. A protected account’s lists are visible only to the people it approved, so neither X nor any tool shows them to anyone else.
The free tracker and the API
Is this follower tracker free?
Yes. Look up any public account here with no sign-up and no X login. For a whole list or many accounts, a free Sorsa API key gives 100 requests, no card needed.
Why only the newest 20?
Twenty shows who is new right now and keeps the page free for everyone. The whole list is one free API key away: 200 accounts per request, newest first.
How is this different from a follower count checker?
A count checker shows a number. This shows the people: the newest accounts, with name, bio, counts and verified badge, and a link to each one.
Can I track many accounts at once?
Yes, through Sorsa API: call /followers or /follows for each account, 200 accounts per request, as often as you need. From $0.007 per 1,000 followers, 1,000x cheaper than the official X API.
