Every change below is additive. A script written against 5.5.x reads the same values from the same fields.

Fixed

• A profile reported 0 followers, 0 following and 0 tweets. X stopped sending the flat legacy object of a user and moved the counts into relationship_counts, tweet_counts and action_counts. The parser read only the old place, so get_user_info, get_followers, get_following and get_verified_followers returned a zero for every count. Captured 2026-09-13: one profile with 241,659,598 followers reported 0. The parser now reads the old place first and the new nodes after it, so an older answer of X keeps working. A real zero stays a zero.
• A profile record now carries its banner image again, and the links inside the bio, for the same reason.

Added

• get_verified_followers() / aget_verified_followers() and the CLI command verified-followers. The engine already supported the endpoint of X for the verified followers of a profile, and no public method reached it.
• A tweet record carries the fields that X already sends: views, quotes, bookmarks, lang, hashtags, mentions, urls, in_reply_to_tweet_id, in_reply_to_user, is_quote and is_retweet. No extra request: the data was in the raw payload of every row.
• quoted_tweet and retweeted_tweet hold the embedded tweet as a full tweet record, one level deep. embedded_text keeps its old value, which is the truncated text that X sends, so it can be shorter than the text of the nested record.
• media.video_links holds the highest-bitrate MP4 of each video. An m3u8 playlist is a stream index and not a file to save, so it is left out.
• A user record carries identity_verified, pinned_tweet_ids and description_urls.

Changed

• A count that X does not send reads None instead of 0, so a caller can tell "unknown" from "zero". The counts likes, retweets and comments keep their old default of 0.
