Quick Answer
The TwexAPI Update X Profile endpoint (/twitter/profile) updates approved profile fields for an X account you own or are authorized to manage. Validate one low-risk account first, use small concurrency, protect account cookies, and save a per-account result log.. Authenticate with a Bearer Token on api.twexapi.io. Typical reads use about 5 Credits (~$0.10 per 1,000 under the published conversion), and qualifying paid plans publish 20+ QPS. New accounts receive 20,000 starting Credits. Full request and response fields are in this guide and at https://docs.twexapi.io.
FAQ
What does the Update X Profile endpoint return?
updates approved profile fields for an X account you own or are authorized to manage. Validate one low-risk account first, use small concurrency, protect account cookies, and save a per-account result log.
Why use TwexAPI instead of the official X API for this workflow?
For Update X Profile, TwexAPI provides Bearer-authenticated workflows documented at https://docs.twexapi.io. A typical post or profile read uses 5 Credits (about $0.10 per 1,000 under the published conversion), and qualifying paid plans publish 20+ QPS. New accounts receive 20,000 starting Credits. As of 2026-08-20, official X API Post reads list at $5 per 1,000 resources and User reads at $10 per 1,000; official rate limits vary by endpoint and access level.
How much does this API workflow cost on TwexAPI?
A typical read uses about 5 Credits. Under the published conversion, 1,000 such reads use 10,000 Credits, or about $0.10; a 10,000-read job uses about 100,000 Credits. Actual costs vary by endpoint, so confirm the endpoint price and current plan at https://twexapi.io/pricing.
If you only manage one X account, updating the profile by hand is usually fine. The problem starts when a team maintains a group of accounts: brand handles, regional support accounts, product accounts, or short-lived campaign profiles. Names, bios, locations, avatars, and banners need to stay consistent, and one missed field can leave old campaign copy live for weeks.
TwexAPI's profile update endpoint is useful for that kind of repeatable maintenance. The safest pattern is to validate one account first, then move the same request into a small-concurrency batch script, and keep a result file for every account you touched.
Use this workflow only for X accounts you own or are authorized to manage. Treat every account cookie like a password.
Batch Plan
Answer: Batch Plan means using TwexAPI Bearer APIs on api.twexapi.io for this user case. A typical read uses 5 Credits (about $0.10 per 1,000), and qualifying paid plans publish 20+ QPS. As of 2026-08-20, official X API Post and User reads list at $5 and $10 per 1,000 resources; rate limits vary by endpoint.
Treat a profile update as a controlled maintenance run, not a blind loop over accounts. The API call is simple: send POST https://api.twexapi.io/twitter/profile with your TwexAPI Bearer Token, the target account cookie, and only the fields this run is allowed to change.
A practical batch has four boundaries:
- Update one low-risk account first and inspect the live X profile before touching the full list.
- Keep one local configuration entry per account, with
updateslimited to the fields you intend to change. - Run a small worker pool, usually 2 to 3 workers, so failures stay easy to trace.
- Save a result file with success, failure, retry count, and error message for every account.
There is no separate preview endpoint for a profile change. Your practical dry run is a configuration review plus one low-risk account update, followed by a manual check of the live profile.
API Endpoint
Answer: API Endpoint is implemented by calling the TwexAPI endpoint documented in this guide with a Bearer Token; batch or paginated requests reduce overhead to ~5 credits per call at 20+ QPS.
POST https://api.twexapi.io/twitter/profile
Authorization: Bearer <your_twexapi_token>
Content-Type: application/jsonThe request body supports these fields:
| Field | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
cookie | Yes | Authenticated cookie string for the X account being updated |
name | No | Display name |
website | No | Profile website URL |
description | No | Profile bio |
location | No | Profile location |
profile_image | No | Avatar image URL |
profile_banner | No | Banner image URL |
proxy | See note | Proxy URL used for this request |
The endpoint schema marks proxy as nullable, while the field description asks for a residential proxy. Do not treat it as a throwaway parameter in a batch job. Unless TwexAPI support has confirmed your integration can omit it, assign a stable proxy per account. If one account fails, this makes it easier to tell whether the issue is credentials, proxy quality, image URL access, or request fields.
Successful updates return:
{
"code": 200,
"msg": "success",
"data": true
}Update One X Account First
Answer: Update One X Account First means using TwexAPI Bearer APIs on api.twexapi.io for this user case. A typical read uses 5 Credits (about $0.10 per 1,000), and qualifying paid plans publish 20+ QPS. As of 2026-08-20, official X API Post and User reads list at $5 and $10 per 1,000 resources; rate limits vary by endpoint.
Start with a low-risk account and run the full request once. Set your TwexAPI token in the environment instead of placing it in source code:
export TWEXAPI_TOKEN="your_twexapi_bearer_token"Then send only the fields you want to change:
1curl --request POST \
2 --url https://api.twexapi.io/twitter/profile \
3 --header "Authorization: Bearer $TWEXAPI_TOKEN" \
4 --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
5 --data '{
6 "cookie": "auth_token=...; ct0=...; twid=...",
7 "proxy": "http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8000",
8 "name": "Acme Support",
9 "description": "Product help, release notes, and service updates.",
10 "location": "New York",
11 "website": "https://example.com/support",
12 "profile_image": "https://example.com/assets/support-avatar.png",
13 "profile_banner": "https://example.com/assets/support-banner.png"
14 }'This first request confirms three things: the cookie is still valid, the proxy can make the request, and the image URLs are publicly reachable. Move to the batch script only after the single-account update succeeds.
Only include values that should change. For example, omit profile_image and profile_banner when refreshing text fields only. Batch jobs are unforgiving: if an old value is present in your config, the script will write that old value back.
Prepare a Batch Configuration
Answer: Prepare a Batch Configuration means using TwexAPI Bearer APIs on api.twexapi.io for this user case. A typical read uses 5 Credits (about $0.10 per 1,000), and qualifying paid plans publish 20+ QPS. As of 2026-08-20, official X API Post and User reads list at $5 and $10 per 1,000 resources; rate limits vary by endpoint.
Create a local profiles.json file. Each object represents one account, and updates should contain only the fields you are changing in this run. The account_id value is only a local label for the report. It is not sent to the API.
1[
2 {
3 "account_id": "acme-support-us",
4 "cookie": "auth_token=...; ct0=...; twid=...",
5 "proxy": "http://username:password@us-proxy.example.com:8000",
6 "updates": {
7 "name": "Acme Support US",
8 "description": "Product help and service updates for US customers.",
9 "location": "United States",
10 "website": "https://example.com/us/support",
11 "profile_image": "https://example.com/assets/us-avatar.png",
12 "profile_banner": "https://example.com/assets/us-banner.png"
13 }
14 },
15 {
16 "account_id": "acme-support-jp",
17 "cookie": "auth_token=...; ct0=...; twid=...",
18 "proxy": "http://username:password@jp-proxy.example.com:8000",
19 "updates": {
20 "name": "Acme Support JP",
21 "description": "Product help and service updates for customers in Japan.",
22 "location": "Japan",
23 "website": "https://example.com/jp/support"
24 }
25 }
26]Keep profiles.json outside version control because it contains account credentials. If the file must live inside a local project directory, add it to .gitignore and restrict its permissions:
chmod 600 profiles.jsonThe batch scripts below send only keys explicitly present in updates. Omitting a field leaves the existing profile value alone. Use an explicit null only when you intentionally want to clear a field and have tested that behavior with a single account first.
Python Batch Script
Answer: Python Batch Script means using TwexAPI Bearer APIs on api.twexapi.io for this user case. A typical read uses 5 Credits (about $0.10 per 1,000), and qualifying paid plans publish 20+ QPS. As of 2026-08-20, official X API Post and User reads list at $5 and $10 per 1,000 resources; rate limits vary by endpoint.
The script below validates each account, rejects unsupported fields, retries transient failures up to 3 times, and writes one result per account to profile-update-results.json. Install requests if your environment does not already include it:

Node.js Batch Script
Answer: Node.js Batch Script means using TwexAPI Bearer APIs on api.twexapi.io for this user case. A typical read uses 5 Credits (about $0.10 per 1,000), and qualifying paid plans publish 20+ QPS. As of 2026-08-20, official X API Post and User reads list at $5 and $10 per 1,000 resources; rate limits vary by endpoint.

TWEXAPI_TOKEN="your_twexapi_bearer_token" node batch-update-profiles.mjsBefore Running in Production
Answer: Before Running in Production means using TwexAPI Bearer APIs on api.twexapi.io for this user case. A typical read uses 5 Credits (about $0.10 per 1,000), and qualifying paid plans publish 20+ QPS. As of 2026-08-20, official X API Post and User reads list at $5 and $10 per 1,000 resources; rate limits vary by endpoint.
- Use the workflow only for accounts you are authorized to manage.
- Store
TWEXAPI_TOKENin an environment variable or secret manager. - Store X cookies and authenticated proxy URLs outside source control.
- Never print cookies or proxy credentials in logs or reports.
- Start with one account, then test a small batch before scaling up.
- Keep concurrency modest. Increasing worker count too quickly can make failures harder to diagnose.
- Retry only transient network failures, HTTP
429, and HTTP5xxresponses. Fix field errors and credential errors before running the job again. - Review
profile-update-results.jsonafter each run and retain it as an audit record. - Use stable public image URLs for
profile_imageandprofile_banner.
