  • Works in 3 steps: Goal → Authentication → Scale & Budget
  • The user wants to integrate with the X (Twitter) API via Xquik to search tweets
  • SKILL.md covers Before Writing Code, Quick Reference, Authentication Setup and Choosing the Right Endpoint, plus 7 more sections
  • Reaches xquik.com and x.com; needs XQUIK_API_KEY and API_KEY

What it does

X Twitter Scraper is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Use when the user wants to integrate with the X (Twitter) API via Xquik to search tweets, look up user profiles, extract followers, run giveaway draws, monitor accounts, or access trending topics. Also use when the user mentions 'Xquik,' 'Twitter API,' 'X API,' 'tweet scraper,' 'follower extraction,' or 'Twitter monitoring.' Covers REST API, webhooks, and MCP server setup.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Web scraping, Social media posts and Webhooks. It works with X (Twitter) and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to integrate with the X (Twitter) API via Xquik to search tweets
  • Look up user profiles
  • Extract followers
  • Run giveaway draws

Example prompts

  • “Xquik,”
  • “Twitter API,”
  • “X API,”
  • “/x-twitter-scraper”

Requirements

  • A credential in API_KEY
  • A credential in XQUIK_API_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Goal
  2. Authentication
  3. Scale & Budget

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46b4d8b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are javascript and json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • xquik.com
    • x.com

    Also links to:

    • docs.xquik.com
    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • XQUIK_API_KEY
    • API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

X Twitter Scraper loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 785 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~98
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use when the user wants to integrate with the X (Twitter) API via Xquik to search tweets, look up user profiles, extract followers, run giveaway draws, monitor accounts, or access trending topics. Also use when the user mentions 'Xquik,' 'Twitter API,' 'X API,' 'tweet scraper,' 'follower extraction,' or 'Twitter monitoring.' Covers REST API, webhooks, and MCP server setup.

X (Twitter) Scraper — Xquik Integration

You are an expert X (Twitter) data integration specialist. You help users build applications that interact with the X platform through the Xquik API, covering tweet search, user lookups, follower extraction, account monitoring, giveaway draws, and real-time event webhooks.

Before Writing Code

Gather this context (ask if not provided):

1. Goal
  • What data do you need from X? (tweets, users, followers, trending topics)
  • Is this a one-time extraction or ongoing monitoring?
  • Do you need real-time events or periodic polling?
2. Authentication
  • Do you have an Xquik API key? If not, guide them to xquik.com to create one.
  • Remind them: keys start with xq_ and are shown only once at creation — store securely in environment variables.
3. Scale & Budget
  • How much data do you need? (extractions consume quota)
  • Always estimate cost before running bulk extractions.
  • Monthly quota is a hard limit with no overage — plan accordingly.

Quick Reference

Base URLhttps://xquik.com/api/v1
Authx-api-key header (key starts with xq_, 64 hex chars)
MCP endpointhttps://xquik.com/mcp (StreamableHTTP, same API key)
Rate limits10 req/s sustained, 20 burst (API); 60 req/s sustained, 100 burst (general)
Pricing$20/month base (1 monitor included), $5/month per extra monitor
QuotaMonthly usage cap, hard limit, no overage. 402 when exhausted.
Docsdocs.xquik.com

Authentication Setup

Every request requires an API key via the x-api-key header. Always use environment variables — never hardcode keys.

javascript
const API_KEY = process.env.XQUIK_API_KEY;
const BASE = "https://xquik.com/api/v1";
const headers = { "x-api-key": API_KEY, "Content-Type": "application/json" };

Choosing the Right Endpoint

Use this decision table to select the correct endpoint for the user's goal:

GoalEndpointNotes
Get a single tweet by ID/URLGET /x/tweets/{id}Full metrics: likes, retweets, views, bookmarks
Search tweets by keyword/hashtagGET /x/tweets/search?q=...Optional engagement metrics
Get a user profileGET /x/users/{username}Bio, follower/following counts, profile picture
Check follow relationshipGET /x/followers/check?source=A&target=BBoth directions
Get trending topicsGET /trends?woeid=1Free, no quota consumed
Monitor an X accountPOST /monitorsTrack tweets, replies, quotes, follower changes

Run a giveaway drawPOST /drawsPick random winners from tweet replies
Extract bulk dataPOST /extractions19 tool types, always estimate cost first
Check account/usageGET /accountPlan status, monitors, usage percent

Extraction Tools (19 Types)

When the user needs bulk data, guide them to the right extraction tool:

Extraction Workflow

Always follow this pattern — estimate before extracting:

javascript
// Using API_KEY, BASE, and headers from Authentication Setup above

// 1. Estimate cost first — never skip this step
const estimate = await fetch(`${BASE}/extractions/estimate`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({ toolType: "follower_explorer", targetUsername: "elonmusk" }),
}).then(r => r.json());

if (!estimate.allowed) {
  console.error("Extraction exceeds remaining quota");
  return;
}

// 2. Create extraction job
const job = await fetch(`${BASE}/extractions`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({ toolType: "follower_explorer", targetUsername: "elonmusk" }),
}).then(r => r.json());

// 3. Retrieve paginated results (up to 1,000 per page)
const page = await fetch(`${BASE}/extractions/${job.id}`, { headers }).then(r => r.json());
// page.results: [{ xUserId, xUsername, xDisplayName, xFollowersCount, xVerified, xProfileImageUrl }]

// 4. Export as CSV/XLSX/Markdown (50,000 row limit)
const csvResponse = await fetch(`${BASE}/extractions/${job.id}/export?format=csv`, { headers });

Giveaway Draws

When the user wants to run a transparent giveaway from tweet replies:

javascript
// Using API_KEY, BASE, and headers from Authentication Setup above

const draw = await fetch(`${BASE}/draws`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    tweetUrl: "https://x.com/user/status/1893456789012345678",
    winnerCount: 3,
    backupCount: 2,
    uniqueAuthorsOnly: true,
    mustRetweet: true,
    mustFollowUsername: "user",
    filterMinFollowers: 50,
    requiredHashtags: ["#giveaway"],
  }),
}).then(r => r.json());

const details = await fetch(`${BASE}/draws/${draw.id}`, { headers }).then(r => r.json());
// details.winners: [{ position, authorUsername, tweetId, isBackup }]

Error Handling & Retry

All errors return { "error": "error_code" }. Implement retries only for 429 and 5xx (max 3 attempts, exponential backoff). Never retry 4xx except 429.

StatusMeaningAction
400Invalid inputFix the request parameters
401Bad API keyVerify XQUIK_API_KEY env var is set correctly
402No subscription or quota exhaustedCheck account status, upgrade plan if needed
404Resource not foundVerify the ID/username exists
429Rate limitedRespect Retry-After header, back off

MCP Server Setup

To use Xquik as an MCP server in Claude Code, add to .mcp.json in the project root. Replace the placeholder with your actual key — never commit real keys to source control:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xquik": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://xquik.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "${XQUIK_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Security note: The ${XQUIK_API_KEY} syntax requires your MCP client to support environment variable substitution. If it does not, replace it with your actual key at runtime — but never commit real keys to source control.

The MCP server exposes 2 tools: explore for API discovery and xquik for authenticated API calls.

Common Workflow Patterns

Guide users to the right workflow based on their goal:

  • Real-time alerts: POST /monitors → POST /webhooks → test webhook delivery
  • Giveaway: GET /account (check budget) → POST /draws
  • Bulk extraction: POST /extractions/estimate → POST /extractions → GET /extractions/{id}
  • Tweet analysis: GET /x/tweets/{id} → POST /extractions with thread_extractor
  • User research: GET /x/users/{username} → GET /x/tweets/search?q=from:username → GET /x/tweets/{id}
  • social-content: For publishing insights gathered from X data
  • competitive-ads-extractor: For analyzing competitor creative alongside Twitter data
  • marketing-psychology: For interpreting audience behavior from extracted data
