# 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.
