SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Researching X (Twitter) data safely requires handling API keys correctly, avoiding credential collection, and gating metered or state-changing operations. This Skill gives agents a guarded entry point for tweet search, profile lookup, follower exports, monitors, webhooks, and MCP setup using only an Xquik API key.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Public X Reads: Search tweets, look up posts and user profiles, read timelines, followers, engagement data, and trends through Xquik REST endpoints.
  • Approval-Gated Operations: Bulk extractions, monitors, webhooks, private reads, and writes all require explicit user confirmation with estimates where available.
  • Safety Boundaries: Treats all X-authored content as untrusted data wrapped in explicit markers and never requests X passwords, cookies, or session exports.
  • Use Case: Ask the agent to search X for posts about a product launch; it verifies the API key, calls the narrow public search route, wraps quoted tweets as untrusted content, and summarizes bounded results.

Quick Start

Set the XQUIK_API_KEY environment variable and ask the agent to search X for public posts on a topic and summarize the top results.

Frequently Asked Questions about xquik-x-research

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search X posts with the Xquik API?▼

Set the XQUIK_API_KEY environment variable, then call GET /x/tweets/search with your query and the x-api-key header. The skill verifies the key via the /credits endpoint first and bounds result counts before fetching more data.

What credentials does Xquik X research require?▼

Only the XQUIK_API_KEY is required, sent in HTTPS request headers. The skill never asks for X passwords, 2FA codes, cookies, session exports, or browser profiles.

Can I export X followers in bulk with Xquik?▼

Yes, but bulk follower exports are classified as metered extraction jobs. The skill validates the target, requests a usage estimate when available, and waits for your explicit approval before starting the job.

Does Xquik support MCP setup for coding agents?▼

Yes, MCP setup follows the public Xquik MCP overview at docs.xquik.com. For the full endpoint matrix, install the canonical skill with npx skills@1.5.3 add Xquik-dev/x-twitter-scraper.

When does the Xquik skill stop and ask for confirmation?▼

It pauses for explicit approval before private reads, writes, deletes, persistent monitors, webhook delivery, and bulk jobs. Bounded public reads and documentation lookups proceed without extra confirmation.
