Live X followers counter
Type a handle and watch its followers update. We take a fresh reading every 30 seconds and animate the change - with the exact figure X publishes.
Popular counters
Well-known X accounts to start with. Any public handle works in the box above.
How often does a X counter update?
Every 30 seconds while the page is open. That interval is not arbitrary: it is the fastest we can read X without degrading the crawler that feeds our directory. Read live from our own X scraper. Exact follower count, no rounding.
One reading serves every viewer. A thousand people watching the same handle is still one request to X per interval, which is why we can offer this at all.
