Turn A X / Twitter Account Name Into A X / Twitter ID Number & Reverse It
Many of the online resources, where you could paste in an accounts URL to obtain an Account ID Number, or to do the reverse, no longer work, so we have now removed the links from our website, however there are still techniques which you can use to obtain an Account ID Number, or turn an Account ID Number into an Account Name, some of which are listed below.
Method 1 - Use MyOSINT.Training Bookmarklet
Install the X User ID Bookmarklet from MyOSINT.Training, which can be done adding it to your Browsers Bookmark Toolbar, either Right Click on the Bookmarklet and select Bookmark Link, or just left click on the Bookmarklet link and then drag it to your Bookmark Toolbar. Then when you are on a X / Twitter account, just click on the Bookmarklet on your Bookmark Toolbar and the account details will be displayed.
Method 2 - Use F12 Developer Tools To Obtain A X / Twitter Account ID Number
You can obtain the X / Twitter Account ID Number by clicking on F12 to open the Developer Tools when viewing the X / Twitter account of interest, if using Firefox access the Inspector tab, whilst in Chrome access the Elements tab, then press Ctrl F and search for "identifier": and the X / Twitter Account ID Number will be listed after that, usually shown as the second one down, whilst a search for "dateCreated": will reveal the exact Date & Time that the X / Twitter Account was created.
Method 3 - Turn A X / Twitter Account ID Number Into The Current X / Twitter Account Name
Add an X / Twitter Account ID Number to the end of one of these URL's Here or Here to find the users current X / Twitter username.
Search An Email Address To See If It Is Linked To An X / Twitter Account
Use the technique shown in the first link, adding an email address to the end of this URL and open in a new to tab, to find out if an email address is linked to a X / Twitter account but not the account name.

How To Identify When An X / Twitter Profile Banner Was Last Updated
When on an X / Twitter profil of interest, you can Right-click on the Profile Banner and select "Open image in new tab", which will open up a new tab, the URL of which will be similar to https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_banners/145359559/1697106201/1080x360. In the URL, the numbers after the https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_banners/ relate to the the Account ID Number, whilst the next set of numbers after that and before the 1080x360, is a 10 digit number, which if you copy and then paste into a UNIX Converter, many of which are listed on the Time Zone & Time Converter Related Sites & Links page of our website, it will be converted into the date and time (in GMT) of when the Profile Banner was uploaded
X / Twitter Location Details - now of very little use, as most no longer work at all and I will eventually remove them completely
