❓ FAQ
Do I need an official X developer account?
No, public reads require only an XQUIK_API_KEY. Private reads and X account actions require a connected X account.
How does billing work?
You are billed per delivered result. For example, search costs 1 credit per returned Tweet, with PAYG rate at $0.00015 per Tweet.
Can I get data in different formats?
Yes, delivery supports JSON, CSV, Markdown, PDF, TXT, XLSX, API pages, and webhook events.
What is the maximum number of results per request?
The search example shows a limit of 25, but bulk extractions allow result caps up to 1000 or more.
