User lookup

Twitter user lookup API by @username

Resolve a public profile before you pull a timeline or add a monitor. XFlux GET /api/v1/users/:username returns a compact profile. Free: 1,000 calls/month, no credit card. MCP tool: xflux_get_user.

Username, not a numeric id dance

Pass the @handle. You do not need a separate id lookup to read the public profile.

Then timeline or monitor

Same key calls /users/:username/tweets or creates a Dashboard monitor for that handle.

Read-only

Lookup does not follow, post, or DM. Public data only.
