X (Twitter) Scraper - Xquik
Overview
Gives AI agents X (Twitter) data and automation workflows through the Xquik platform. Covers tweet search, profile tweets, user lookup, follower export, media download, replies, DMs, giveaway draws, account monitoring, webhooks, bulk extraction tools, remote MCP, OpenAPI, and official SDKs.
This repository entry is documentation-only: it does not include an executable scraper, binary, package, or vendored runtime code. Review the Xquik service, public docs, and SDK package before use.
Because this workflow can automate authenticated X/Twitter account actions, treat it as critical-risk guidance. Only use it with accounts and targets you are authorized to operate, and require explicit user approval before posting, replying, liking, reposting, following, unfollowing, sending DMs, creating monitors, registering webhooks, or starting bulk extraction.
