Profile Link to User ID

Returns the Twitter/X user ID extracted from a profile URL. You provide the full profile link, and the endpoint returns the corresponding stable user ID.

Use cases:

Developers converting profile URLs into user IDs before making other API requests; SaaS platforms normalizing different input formats (link vs handle vs ID); analytics tools processing scraped profile links into structured identifiers; automation systems resolving shared profile URLs into internal IDs; data pipelines standardizing user references for storage and further processing.
