# Get verified followers
> Retrieve verified X followers by username or numeric user ID with cursor pagination for CRM, scoring, enrichment, and agent workflows
For the complete documentation index, see llms.txt.
Requested result counts are upper bounds for paid authenticated calls. When remaining credits cannot cover the full page or ID list, Xquik returns fewer results. If zero paid results are affordable, it returns `402 insufficient_credits`.
**1 credit per result returned** · [All plans](https://xquik.com/#pricing) from \$0.00012/credit · Accepts [MPP](/mpp/overview)
Get verified followers returns verified profiles that follow one X account by
username or numeric user ID. It is also useful as a verified followers API,
X verified followers API, or Twitter verified followers API. The canonical
endpoint remains `GET /api/v1/x/users/{id}/verified-followers`.
```bash Username theme={null}
curl "https://xquik.com/api/v1/x/users/xquikcom/verified-followers" \
-H "x-api-key: xq_YOUR_KEY_HERE" | jq
```
```bash Numeric user ID theme={null}
curl "https://xquik.com/api/v1/x/users/44196397/verified-followers" \
-H "x-api-key: xq_YOUR_KEY_HERE" | jq
```
```javascript Node.js theme={null}
const userId = "44196397";
const response = await fetch(`https://xquik.com/api/v1/x/users/${userId}/verified-followers`, {
headers: { "x-api-key": "xq_YOUR_KEY_HERE" },
});
const data = await response.json();
const verifiedRows = data.users.map((user) => ({
source_user_id: userId,
x_user_id: user.id,
username: user.username,
display_name: user.name,
verified_type: user.verifiedType ?? "standard",
follower_count: user.followers ?? null,
following_count: user.following ?? null,
profile_image_url: user.profilePicture ?? null,
}));
const nextCursor = data.has_next_page ? data.next_cursor : null;
const checkpoint = { source_user_id: userId, next_cursor: nextCursor };
for (const row of verifiedRows) {
process.stdout.write(`${JSON.stringify(row)}\n`);
}
process.stdout.write(`${JSON.stringify(checkpoint)}\n`);
```
```python Python theme={null}
import json
import requests
user_id = "44196397"
response = requests.get(
f"https://xquik.com/api/v1/x/users/{user_id}/verified-followers",
headers={"x-api-key": "xq_YOUR_KEY_HERE"},
)
data = response.json()
verified_rows = [
{
"source_user_id": user_id,
"x_user_id": user["id"],
"username": user["username"],
"display_name": user["name"],
"verified_type": user.get("verifiedType", "standard"),
"follower_count": user.get("followers"),
"following_count": user.get("following"),
"profile_image_url": user.get("profilePicture"),
}
for user in data["users"]
]
next_cursor = data["next_cursor"] if data["has_next_page"] else None
checkpoint = {"source_user_id": user_id, "next_cursor": next_cursor}
for row in verified_rows:
print(json.dumps(row))
print(json.dumps(checkpoint))
```
The Node.js and Python snippets shape durable verified follower rows instead of
printing the full response page. Persist `verifiedRows` or `verified_rows` with
the checkpoint so a worker can resume pagination with `next_cursor` without
duplicating already imported profiles.
## Direct verified followers handoff
Use `GET /x/users/{id}/verified-followers` when a CRM, warehouse, scoring, enrichment, or agent workflow needs one JSON page of verified followers now. The endpoint accepts either a username or numeric user ID and returns verified follower profile rows with cursor fields. Use [`verified_follower_explorer`](/api-reference/extractions/create) when you need an estimated job, saved extraction, or CSV/JSON/XLSX file export.
Store `users[]` as the verified follower profile rows returned on this page.
Store `users[].id` as `x_user_id` for CRM, warehouse, scoring, and agent dedupe.
Store `users[].username` and `users[].name` for handles, labels, enrichment, and review queues.
Store `users[].verified` and `verifiedType` to segment standard, business, and government accounts.
Store `users[].followers`, `users[].following`, and `statusesCount` for scoring and prioritization.
Store `users[].description`, `location`, `url`, `profilePicture`, and `coverPicture` when returned.
Store `has_next_page` and `next_cursor`; pass `next_cursor` back as `cursor` only when `has_next_page` is true.
Direct verified followers cost 1 credit per user returned. Low credit balances can return fewer users than a full page; zero affordable results return `402 insufficient_credits`. For MPP callers, this endpoint is billed as a session at USD 0.00015 per user returned.
## Path parameters
User ID (numeric) or username.
## Query parameters
Pagination cursor from `next_cursor` in a previous response. Omit for the
first page. Pass a cursor only when `has_next_page` is true.
## Which verified follower endpoint?
Use `GET /x/users/{id}/verified-followers` for verified accounts that follow
one profile.
Use [`GET /x/users/{id}/followers`](/api-reference/x/followers) when you need
all followers, not only verified accounts.
Use [`GET /x/users/{id}/following`](/api-reference/x/following) for accounts
the profile follows.
Use [`verified_follower_explorer`](/api-reference/extractions/create) for a
saved verified follower extraction with CSV, JSON, or XLSX download handoff.
