# X Search Users API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/twitter/search-users)

> Searches X (Twitter) for user accounts matching a name, handle, or partial handle. Each match includes the username, display name, avatar, location, verification status, and whether the account is private. Returns a single fixed set of up to about 10 accounts with no further pages; refine the query to surface different accounts.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/twitter/search/users` costs 1 credit per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters
