What is Xquik, and how is it an X (Twitter) API alternative?

Xquik is an independent X (Twitter) API alternative. It searches public X data & acts through X accounts you connect. It includes 53 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.

How do I scrape tweets with the Xquik API?

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.

How do I search tweets by keyword, hashtag, user or URL?

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. For example, send q=from:XDevelopers "API" min_faves:10. Use next_cursor to collect more matching tweets.

Can I extract replies, followers, following & profile data?

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.

How does real-time account & keyword monitoring work?

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 30 credits per hour. That is its only charge. The price includes events & webhook deliveries. Register an HTTPS webhook for matching event types. Xquik delivers matching events to that URL.

Can I use Xquik with REST, webhooks, MCP, SDKs & AI agents?

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

Can I export scraped X data to CSV, JSON, XLSX or Markdown?

Export a completed extraction job as CSV, JSON, XLSX, Markdown, PDF or 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 you call the API directly.

What authentication & security setup do I need?

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. After Xquik verifies payment, send guest keys as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. 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 that store headers securely can use an API key.

How do credits, rate limits & pagination work?

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. AI analysis costs 2 credits per analyzed post. It covers sentiment, brands, news, market signals, viral score & your own questions. 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 that long before retrying.

How do I post a tweet or reply through the API?

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.

Can I like, repost, follow, send DMs & edit profiles?

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.

What data can Xquik access, and is it affiliated with X Corp.?

Xquik's read tools return supported public X content. They may not return protected, deleted, unavailable or restricted content. Connected-account tools act only through accounts you connect. Xquik is an independent third-party service. It is not affiliated with X Corp.
