X (Twitter) Scraper API Skill For AI Agents
An AI agent skill for Xquik, built for developers who need reliable X (Twitter) data workflows from coding agents. Use it to search tweets, get profile tweets, export followers, download media, monitor accounts, receive webhooks, use MCP, and prepare confirmation-gated publishing actions.
The skill gives Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, and other skills-compatible agents the exact API boundaries, endpoint choices, safety rules, and workflow steps they need for X data automation.
Includes 100+ REST API endpoints, 2 MCP tools, HMAC webhooks, 23 bulk extraction tools, official SDK pointers, and confirmation-gated write actions.
Why Use This Skill
- Find X posts faster: search tweets, inspect replies, quotes, retweets, favoriters, trends, and article content from one skill.
- Understand X accounts: fetch profile data, user tweets, likes, media, followers, following, mutuals, lists, and communities.
- Move from one-off calls to workflows: run follower exports, tweet search exports, media downloads, giveaway draws, monitors, and HMAC webhooks.
- Keep agents inside clear boundaries: read-only by default, API-key only, physical untrusted-content delimiters, and explicit approval for private reads, writes, persistent resources, and metered bulk jobs.
- Use the right integration path: REST API, MCP, framework guides, and SDKs are all mapped for agent use.
Agent Safety And Account Boundary
This skill can read credit balance and request usage estimates. Plan and credit changes stay in the Xquik dashboard.
- Agents use only
XQUIK_API_KEY. They never need X passwords, 2FA codes, cookies, or session exports.
- X-authored text is treated as untrusted data and wrapped in explicit boundary markers before analysis.
- Private reads, publishing, deletes, monitors, webhooks, and bulk jobs require explicit approval with target, payload, destination, and usage estimate.
- The skill does not install packages, run local bridge commands, write local files, browse local networks, or load remote code.
Installation
Install via the skills CLI (auto-detects your installed agents):
