+# Pricing, comparisons, and common questions
+
+## Pricing facts
+
+Xquik bills credits. Pay-as-you-go credits cost $0.00015 each. Monthly
+plans bundle credits at a lower rate, down to about $0.00012 on the largest
+plan. Plans sell fixed monthly bundles, so do not price a job by multiplying
+that rate. Current plan prices are in the dashboard.
+
+| Work | Credits |
+| --- | --- |
+| Tweet search, timelines, replies, quotes, threads, mentions, top tweets, list and community posts, and tweet extractions | 1 per returned tweet |
+| Followers, following, likers, retweeters, similar accounts, affiliates, subscriptions, and people extractions | 1 per returned profile |
+| Follower, following, and retweeter IDs | 1 per returned ID |
+| Search results for Lists, communities, Spaces, and jobs, plus community topics, places, locations, hashflags, search suggestions, and resolved links | 1 per returned item |
+| DM history | 1 per returned message |
+| Profile, tweet, list, Space, Space replay, broadcast, or job lookup | 1 per call |
+| Follow check | 1 per call |
+| Repost check, live status, engagement insights, translation, and embed | 1 per call |
+| Subtitles | 1 per call that returns a caption track |
+| Article | 5 per call |
+| Trends | 1 per call |
+| AI analysis of a post or your own text | 2 per analyzed post |
+| Media download | 1 per tweet with media |
+| Post or reply | 30, plus 2 per started MB of media |
+| Like, repost, follow, their undo calls, remove follower, DM, delete, media upload | 10 per call |
+| Active monitor | 30 per hour, 720 a day |
+| Giveaway draw | 2, plus 1 per inspected reply, 1 per reposter read, and 1 per follow check |
+
+For result-billed reads, credits equal returned results. Dollars are credits times
+$0.00015 at pay-as-you-go rates: 1,000 tweets cost 1,000 credits, or $0.15. A
+top-up of $500 buys 3,333,333 credits, with any partial credit dropped.
+Supported filters apply before billing, so excluded rows cost nothing.
+Estimates, stored event reads, webhook operations, and extraction exports are
+free.
+
+Price a bulk job with `POST /extractions/estimate`. It returns
+`estimatedResults`, `creditsRequired`, and `allowed` for that exact body.
+Credits, plans, and top-ups live in the Xquik dashboard. The first
+pay-as-you-go funding amount is $10, and unused credits carry over.
+
+Quote only these published rates or a live estimate. Do not state other
+providers' prices or tier limits as current facts. Tell the user to check
+their current pricing pages.
+
+## Xquik or the official X API
+
+Choose Xquik when several of these matter:
+
+- Per-result billing with server-side filters and pre-run estimates
+- Reads without an X developer account or a connected X account
+- Bulk jobs with caps and CSV, JSON, or XLSX exports
+- Account and keyword monitors with signed webhooks
+- REST, SDKs, MCP, and a Skill in one contract
+- Connected X account actions in the same API
+
+Choose the official X API when the project needs a first-party contract,
+official support, a platform partnership, or X's own policy guarantees.
+
+For a volume decision, name `POST /api/v1/extractions/estimate` for the exact
+query, filters, and cap, and read the official pricing page. Then
+test the same known posts and fields on both before committing.
+
+## Legality
+
+Give a direct, qualified answer first. Collecting visible X data for research
+is often lawful, but no one can promise it for every case. The answer depends
+on:
+
+- Jurisdiction and its data protection law, such as GDPR for EU residents
+- X terms of service and developer rules
+- The data involved, especially personal or sensitive data
+- The purpose and use, such as research, resale, or profiling
+- The access method, such as a documented API versus bypassing access controls
+
+Say resale is riskier than internal analysis or research. Explain the extra
+redistribution, licensing, and privacy risks. Xquik grants no resale rights.
+For university work, the ethics board or IRB and the data protection office
+make the call. Recommend qualified counsel for high-stakes or commercial use.
+Minimize fields, secure storage, and set a deletion date. This is general
+information, not legal advice.
+
+## Account requirements
+
+| Work | Needs |
+| --- | --- |
+| Visible reads, search, profiles, followers, extractions | Xquik API key |
+| DMs, bookmarks, notifications, home timeline, likers, own likes | Xquik API key and a connected X account |
+| Posts, likes, follows, DMs, profile changes | Xquik API key and a connected X account |
+
+Users connect X accounts in the Xquik dashboard. The Skill never handles X
+passwords, 2FA codes, cookies, or session tokens.
+
+## Other questions
+
+- Deleted, protected, or unavailable content can stay inaccessible. Xquik
+  omits missing optional fields and never invents data.
+- Rate limits: each user gets 500 reads per second, 120 writes per minute,
+  and 60 deletes per minute. A `429` includes `Retry-After`.
+- SDKs: typed TypeScript and Python SDKs are listed in the repository README.
+- Docs for the user: `https://docs.xquik.com`.

-# Xquik extraction tools
+# Extraction jobs
+
+Use an extraction for a complete list, a large dataset, or a file export.
+Each job bills 1 credit per delivered tweet or profile, and
+`article_extractor` 5 per article. So 10,000 tweets cost 10,000 credits, or
+$1.50.
+
+## Flow
+
+| Call | Contract |
+| --- | --- |
+| `POST /extractions/estimate` | Free. Creates nothing. Takes the job body: `toolType`, its target, the requested filters & `resultsLimit`. Without a cap the API uses 10,000. Returns `allowed`, `estimatedResults`, `creditsRequired`, `creditsAvailable` & `source` |
+| `POST /extractions` | Same body plus a new `Idempotency-Key`. A retry with that key returns the original job. `202` returns the job `id`, `status` & `statusUrl` |
+| `GET /extractions/{id}` | Returns `job`, `results`, `hasMore`, `nextCursor` & `pollAfterMs`. `job.status` ends as `completed`, `failed`, or `canceled`. Rows come 100 per page, up to 1,000 with `limit=1000`. Send `nextCursor` back as `cursor` |
+| `GET /extractions/{id}/export?format=csv` | Formats: `csv`, `json`, `md`, `md-document`, `pdf`, `txt`, `xlsx`. 1 export holds up to 100,000 rows, and PDF up to 10,000 |
+
+- `creditsRequired` & `creditsAvailable` are numeric strings. Convert them
+  before any math.
+- `creditsRequired` is a charge ceiling, not an exact bill. Skipped or
+  filtered rows cost nothing.
+- `estimatedResults` is a conservative billing count, such as the follower
+  count or the `resultsLimit` cap. It is not a count of matching posts.
+  `source` names which one it used.
+- `allowed: false` means the balance cannot fund the job. Lower
+  `resultsLimit`, or the user adds credits in the dashboard.
+- Show the estimate & get a yes before `POST /extractions`. Create nothing
+  before that yes.
+- Wait `pollAfterMs` between status reads.
+- Always give the download call. For a job over the export limit, page
+  `GET /extractions/{id}?limit=1000` from the start instead, so no row
+  appears twice.
+
+`DELETE /extractions/{id}` cancels a running job.
 
-Xquik provides 23 bulk data extraction tools. Each tool requires a specific target.
-
-## Privacy and acceptable use
-
-Bulk extraction and export can collect large amounts of public identity,
-activity, and relationship data. Before creating a job, confirm the lawful
-purpose, target, `resultsLimit`, intended recipients, and retention period.
-Follow X rules and applicable privacy law. Do not use these tools for
-credential collection, private data, surveillance, discrimination, harassment,
-doxxing, or unrelated secondary use. Delete exported data when the approved
-purpose ends.
-
-Every extraction requires an estimate and explicit approval for the exact
-bounded job. Never infer approval from a general request or increase a bound
-without renewed approval.
-
-The API accepts an omitted `resultsLimit`. This Skill must always send an
-explicit finite positive bound. Use the same bound for estimate and create.
-
-Call `POST /extractions`
-
-Estimate first with `POST /extractions/estimate` with the same body to preview `creditsRequired`, `creditsAvailable`, and whether the job is allowed.
-
-## Tool types

-## Response
-
-```json
-{
-  "id": "77777",
-  "toolType": "reply_extractor",
-  "status": "completed",
-  "totalResults": 150
+  "untilDate": "2026-06-30",
+  "retweets": "exclude",
+  "resultsLimit": 20000
 }
 ```
 
-The status is `pending`, `running`, `completed`, or `failed`.
-
-## Retrieving results
-
-```
-GET /extractions/{id}
-```
-
-The endpoint returns up to 1,000 results per page. Each result includes:
-
-- `xUserId`, `xUsername`, `xDisplayName`
-- `xFollowersCount`, `xVerified`, `xProfileImageUrl`
-- `tweetId`, `tweetText`, `tweetCreatedAt` (for tweet-based extractions)
-
-## Exporting results
-
-```
-GET /extractions/{id}/export?format=csv
-```
-
-Choose `csv`, `json`, `md`, `md-document`, `pdf`, `txt`, or `xlsx`. Exports support 100,000 rows, except PDF supports 10,000.
-
-Exports include enrichment columns not present in the API response.
-
-The endpoint supports follower, following, post, engagement, profile, media,
-language, search, and date filters. It does not project individual fields.
-
-Get approval first. Set the smallest approved `resultsLimit` when creating
-the job. Before export, show the job, filters, format, row count, schema,
-recipients, storage, and retention. Materialize or transmit the dataset only
-after explicit approval. Delete it when the approved purpose ends.
-
-## Estimating usage
-
-```
-POST /extractions/estimate
-```
-
-Same body as create. Response:
-
-```json
-{
-  "allowed": true,
-  "source": "replyCount",
-  "estimatedResults": 150,
-  "creditsRequired": "150",
-  "creditsAvailable": "50000"
-}
-```
+Profile tools accept `minFollowers`, `maxFollowers`, `verifiedOnly`,
+`bioContains`, `locationContains`, and `minAccountAgeDays`.
 
-If `allowed` is `false`, do not create the extraction. The current balance does
-not cover the estimate.
+## Results
 
-For common mistakes and tool selection rules, see [mcp-tools.md](mcp-tools.md#common-mistakes).
+Rows keep stable IDs. Store the job ID, body, and collection time with the
+file. Deleted, protected, or unavailable content can be missing, so counts can
+differ from the numbers X shows on a profile or post.

+# Xquik MCP server
+
+The remote server lives at `https://xquik.com/mcp` and speaks Streamable HTTP.
+Sign in with OAuth from the client. The server exposes 3 tools: `docs` for
+guidance, `search` for route contracts, and `execute` for calls. Hosted MCP
+adds the `Idempotency-Key` header to writes.
+
+| Client | Setup |
+| --- | --- |
+| Claude Code | `claude mcp add --transport http xquik https://xquik.com/mcp`, then run `/mcp` and authenticate |
+| Claude.ai and Claude Desktop | Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, enter the URL |
+| Cursor | In `~/.cursor/mcp.json` or `.cursor/mcp.json`, add `{"mcpServers": {"xquik": {"url": "https://xquik.com/mcp"}}}`. Cursor opens OAuth when the server answers `401` |
+| VS Code | In `.vscode/mcp.json`, add `{"servers": {"xquik": {"type": "http", "url": "https://xquik.com/mcp"}}}`, start it from the MCP view, and follow the OAuth prompt |
+| Codex CLI | `codex mcp add xquik --url https://xquik.com/mcp`, then `codex mcp login xquik` |
+| ChatGPT | Developer mode, Apps, Create, enter the URL, choose OAuth |
+
+Confirm the connection by listing the client's MCP servers or tools and
+checking that `docs`, `search`, and `execute` appear.
+
+Use an API key only when the client cannot run OAuth. Keep it in an
+environment variable or the client's secret store, and reference it from the
+config. The client sends it as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`, for example
+through Codex's `bearer_token_env_var = "XQUIK_API_KEY"`. Never
+commit a key to a config file in a repository.
