twitter:site:id

Attributes the website or publication to an X account using its numeric user ID. Use twitter:site when you know the @handle.

Code examples

Good example
<meta name="twitter:site:id" content="123456789">
A numeric X user ID.
Avoid this example
<meta name="twitter:site:id" content="@YourTwitterHandle">
A handle belongs in twitter:site.
Avoid this example
<meta name="twitter:site: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 site for Handles
    The @ prefix and username belong in twitter:site, not in this numeric ID field.
