An AI agent skill for Xquik, a Twitter API alternative for developers who need to search tweets, get tweets from profiles, export followers, download media, monitor accounts, and automate posting workflows.
Use it for advanced Twitter search, tweet search API calls, profile tweet scraping, follower export to CSV, media download, tweet scheduling, send tweets, post replies, like, repost, follow, DM, webhooks, MCP, and official SDK workflows from AI coding agents.
Includes 100+ REST API endpoints, 2 MCP tools, HMAC webhooks, 23 bulk extraction tools, and confirmation-gated write actions.
Works with 40+ AI coding agents including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, VS Code, Cline, Roo Code, Goose, Amp, Augment, Continue, OpenHands, Trae, OpenCode, and more.
This installable skill can read credit balance and estimate usage costs. Users manage plan and credit changes in the Xquik dashboard.
