I’ve said it before: Twitter Lists are one of the most underrated features on X.
You can follow thousands of people, but a well-curated list cuts through the noise and gives you a pure signal.
It lets you track specific communities, watch experts, study competitors, and build topic-focused feeds that actually make sense.
And if you’ve ever discovered a brilliant list or spent hours building your own — adding accounts one by one, organizing niches — you know how valuable they are.
The only problem?
Twitter doesn’t let you export them.
Not even a simple “download list members” button.
No export, no backup, no data. Nothing.

If you want to use that list somewhere else — for research, growth, outreach, CRM, analytics, audience building — you’re stuck doing it manually.
Or at least… you would be, if there wasn’t an easier way.
That’s the moment I started using Circleboom Twitter to export my lists with a few clicks.
Why Exporting Twitter Lists Matters
Before we get into the “how,” let’s talk about “why.”
Lists are more useful outside Twitter than inside
When you export a list, you can:
➡️ Import members into Airtable, Notion, or a CRM
➡️ Build outreach lists for DMs or emails
➡️ Analyze bios, locations, follower counts, or join dates
➡️ Track niche experts and influencers
➡️ Use them as sources for replies, quote tweets, or targeting
➡️ Save them as backup (Twitter lists get deleted or removed silently sometimes)
When your lists live only on Twitter, they’re underused.
When you export them, they become a real asset.
But Twitter Doesn’t Support List Exports
Twitter lets you:
- Create lists
- Follow to lists
- Add or remove members
- Check list timelines
…yet it offers zero ways to export those members.

No CSV file.
No export function.
No API endpoint for end users.
If you wanted to export 500 members from a list manually, you’d have to copy usernames one by one — a nightmare.
That’s when I started using a tool that actually solves the problem.
The Tool I Use: Circleboom Twitter
Circleboom Twitter is a complete Twitter management platform — and the reason I can export lists easily.

If you want to view the lists that include you, choose the second option.

It’s literally everything Twitter’s native tools should have offered but never did.
Final Thoughts
Twitter lists are powerful, especially when you curate them with intention.
But they become even more valuable when you take them outside Twitter and use them for real work: research, outreach, competitor analysis, CRM, influence mapping, or community insights.
Twitter doesn’t let you export them.
Circleboom does.
If you’ve built a list worth saving, exporting it is the smartest thing you can do.
And Circleboom makes it effortless.
