Yes, you can do that easily with Rapidapi, check some of the developers over there. Then just ask some AI to code you a simple Python script that will take usernames from a .txt file and check one by one if they exist or not.
Shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

The "easiest" would be to indeed get a proxy and use existing python scripts (googling "Twitter bulk username checker" returns a few results). But if you don't want to deal with proxies, here are some other alternatives to consider:
- If you are a developer, you can build your own tool that interacts with your phone. You would then toggle the airplane mode on/off before each request. Toggling the airplane mode (almost always) changes the IP address, which will make each request look unique. The requests you would make are to e.g. https://twitter.com/randomusername. Look for "This account doesn’t exist" in the response body. This solution is a big effort though to do build.
- Look in the freelancer section here on BHW and hire someone to build such a custom tool for you.
- Hire a cheap VA to do the checking for you.

Just ask chatgpt to make you a script to open playwright on the username, and check if it returns a profile or not

Be careful with that. The API has been locked down 2 years unless you pay that ridiculous API fee. That's why we all lost a lot of tools.
