twitter:creator:id

Attributes the page’s content to an X account using its numeric user ID. Use twitter:creator when you know the @handle.

Code examples

Good example
<meta name="twitter:creator:id" content="123456789">
A numeric X user ID.
Avoid this example
<meta name="twitter:creator:id" content="@username">
A handle belongs in twitter:creator.
Avoid this example
<meta name="twitter:creator:id" content="username">
A username is not a numeric user ID.
Avoid this example
<meta name="twitter:creator:id" content="">
An empty value identifies no account. Omit the optional field instead.

Recommendations

  • 01
    Use the Numeric ID
    X user IDs are stable numeric strings. Do not put a handle in this field.
  • 02
    Use Without "@"
    The @ prefix belongs in twitter:creator, not in the numeric ID field.
