Twitter (X) Account Exclude Hashtags API

Find Twitter (X) profiles by exclude hashtags from 122.9M searchable profiles

Is there an API to exclude Twitter (X) creators by hashtags?

Yes. The Influencers.club Discovery API filters Twitter (X) creator profiles by the hashtags you don’t want — excluding creators who use them. List the terms to exclude — like “ad” — and only creators without them come back: full profiles with follower counts, engagement rates and verified contact data.

Recipes

Exclude Hashtags is rarely the only filter

Three combinations that people actually send. Every filter below exists today.

Creators without the pay-to-play tags

Exclude the hashtags that mark saturated accounts.

filters: {
  "not_hashtags": ["ad"],
  "engagement_percent": { "min": 2 } }

Cleaner lists you can still contact

Fewer #ad accounts, same reachability.

filters: {
  "not_hashtags": ["sponsored"],
  "has_link_in_bio": true }

Mid-tier creators minus the tag spam

Precision exclusions where outreach actually happens.

filters: {
  "not_hashtags": ["sponsored"],
  "number_of_followers": { "min": 10000, "max": 100000 } }

What are your pricing plans and what do they include?+
