PDF download Download Article

Every user on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has a unique numerical user ID. Some API applications require you to use user IDs instead of usernames to access user information. While X no longer lets you view user IDs on the website or mobile app, you can still find anyone's Twitter/X user ID using a third-party website. This wikiHow article teaches you how to find your user ID on X (Twitter).

Things You Should Know

  • While you won't find your user ID on the X (Twitter) platform anymore, you can still look it up using a third-party website.
  • Visit a site like What's My Twitter ID, Find Twitter ID, or Twitter ID Finder, enter a username, and click the "Find" or "Get ID" button.
  • You can use an X/Twitter User ID finder to find the user ID for any Twitter user as long as you know their username.
