# Get an X user's public profile

Returns an X user's public profile, with bio, follower count and post count. Use it to look up an account.

Tool `x.user.profile` on X (Twitter). Contract version 1, released 2026-10-27.

## Example call

Over REST, send the input in the body. Over MCP, pass the same input to `call_tool`.

cURL:

```bash
curl https://api.voxoria.ai/v1/tools/x.user.profile/calls \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VOXORIA_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input":{"username":"OpenAI"}}'
```

Python:

```python
import os

import httpx

response = httpx.post(
    "https://api.voxoria.ai/v1/tools/x.user.profile/calls",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['VOXORIA_API_KEY']}"},
    json={"input": {"username": "OpenAI"}},
    timeout=60,
)
print(response.json())
```

TypeScript:

```ts
const response = await fetch("https://api.voxoria.ai/v1/tools/x.user.profile/calls", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.VOXORIA_API_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({"input": {"username": "OpenAI"}}),
});
console.log(await response.json());
```

MCP (`tools/call` params):

```json
{
  "name": "call_tool",
  "arguments": {
    "tool": "x.user.profile",
    "input": {
      "username": "OpenAI"
    }
  }
}
```

Both return [the full response](/docs/call-response.md): the call's ID, status and cost, with this tool's result in `output`.
