Question 1

What Is Xquik, and How Is It an X (Twitter) API Alternative?

Accepted Answer

Xquik is an independent X (Twitter) API alternative. It supports public data searches and connected-account workflows. It includes 47 dashboard tools, REST endpoints, webhooks, SDKs & MCP.

Use it to search and scrape tweets, replies, profiles, followers & related public data. Connect an X account for publishing, account actions & account-only data.

Question 2

How Do I Scrape Tweets With the Xquik API?

Accepted Answer

Use GET /api/v1/x/tweets/search to scrape tweets into structured JSON. Send q with keywords, operators, a Tweet ID or an X status URL.

Follow next_cursor while has_next_page is true. For downloadable datasets, run an extraction and export the completed job.

Question 3

How Do I Search Tweets by Keyword, Hashtag, User or URL?

Accepted Answer

Send an X search query in q to GET /api/v1/x/tweets/search. Search keywords, exact phrases, hashtags, accounts, dates, replies, media & engagement thresholds.

Example: q=from:XDevelopers "API" min_faves:10. Use next_cursor to collect more matching tweets.

Question 4

Can I Extract Replies, Followers, Following & Profile Data?

Accepted Answer

Use GET /api/v1/x/tweets/TWEET_ID/replies for replies. Use /api/v1/x/users/USER_ID/followers or /following for relationship data. Use /api/v1/x/users/USER_ID for profiles.

Other endpoints return quotes, reposts, threads, timelines, mentions & verified followers. Paginated responses include structured JSON and next_cursor. Availability depends on public visibility on X.

Question 5

How Does Real-Time Account & Keyword Monitoring Work?

Accepted Answer

Create account monitors with POST /api/v1/monitors. Create keyword monitors with POST /api/v1/monitors/keywords. Both check every second for selected events. Keyword monitors detect new tweets, replies, quotes & reposts matching an X query.

Each active monitor costs 21 credits per hour. Events and webhook deliveries are included. Register an HTTPS webhook for matching event types. Xquik delivers matching events to that URL.

Question 6

Can I Use Xquik With REST, Webhooks, MCP, SDKs & AI Agents?

Accepted Answer

Use REST for direct API calls and webhooks for event delivery. Use SDKs in code or the CLI from a terminal. Use MCP with AI agents that support it.

Connect API MCP at https://xquik.com/mcp. It discovers and runs available operations. Connect Docs MCP at https://docs.xquik.com/mcp. It searches Xquik documentation.

Question 7

Can I Export Scraped X Data to CSV, JSON, XLSX or Markdown?

Accepted Answer

Completed extraction jobs can export CSV, JSON, XLSX, Markdown, PDF & TXT. REST search endpoints also return JSON for custom pipelines.

Download files from GET /api/v1/extractions/EXTRACTION_ID/export?format=csv. Use cursor pagination when collecting data directly through the API.

Question 8

What Authentication & Security Setup Do I Need?

Accepted Answer

REST accepts Xquik account keys, OAuth 2.1 tokens & guest paid-read keys. Send account keys through x-api-key to https://xquik.com/api/v1. Send guest keys through Authorization: Bearer after verified payment.

You need no X Developer app for public data calls. Account-only data and actions require a connected X account. API traffic uses HTTPS. Webhooks use HMAC-SHA256 signatures. MCP prefers OAuth 2.1. Clients supporting secure headers can use an API key.

Question 9

How Do Credits, Rate Limits & Pagination Work?

Accepted Answer

Scraping most tweets, profiles & followers costs 1 credit per result. Posting a tweet or reply costs 30 credits. Other write actions cost 10 credits. Reading or extracting an article costs 5 credits. Attached media adds 2 credits per started MB.

Unused monthly credits roll over. Pay-as-you-go credits never expire. Paginated responses include next_cursor and has_next_page. Reads, writes & deletes use separate rate-limit buckets. A 429 response includes Retry-After; wait before retrying.

Question 10

How Do I Post a Tweet or Reply Through the API?

Accepted Answer

Connect the X account first. Send POST /api/v1/x/tweets. Include account, plus text, media or both.

Add reply_to_tweet_id for a reply. media accepts 4 public image URLs or 1 public MP4 URL. Videos can be up to 100 MB. Send a unique Idempotency-Key. After a 202 response, wait for Retry-After. Poll statusUrl until terminal is true.

Question 11

Can I Like, Repost, Follow, Send DMs & Edit Profiles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Connected accounts can like, remove likes, repost, undo reposts, follow & unfollow. They can remove followers, send DMs, upload media, edit profiles & manage communities.

These actions change an X account. Public data searches do not require a connected X account.

Question 12

What Data Can Xquik Access, and Is It Affiliated With X Corp.?

Accepted Answer

Xquik accesses supported public X content through its read tools. Protected, deleted, unavailable or restricted content may not be accessible.

Connected-account tools act only through accounts you connect. Xquik is an independent third-party service. It is not affiliated with X Corp.
