GET
Twitter Giveaway History API & Past Draw Results
List every Twitter giveaway draw owned by the authenticated Xquik account. Review source tweets, draw statuses, entry counts, and completion times. Continue through older results with an opaque cursor. This endpoint returns draw summaries. It does not return winner objects or eligibility rules. Retrieve one draw when winner verification needs those details.
Free - does not consume credits

List Past Twitter Giveaway Draws

Use GET /draws for a Twitter giveaway history page or audit queue. Results are ordered by createdAt and draw ID, newest first. Each row identifies its source tweet and inspected candidate counts.

List draw history

Call GET /draws for draw IDs, tweet URLs, statuses, entry counts, and timestamps. Follow nextCursor when hasMore is true.

Review past winners

Call GET /draws/{id} for source tweet metrics and ordered winner rows. Keep primary and backup winners separate.

Export audit records

Call GET /draws/{id}/export for winners or entries. Choose CSV, JSON, Markdown, PDF, text, or XLSX.

Run another draw

Call POST /draws with the source tweet and eligibility rules. Do not reuse an old draw ID for a new selection.
Use list results for discovery. Use detail results for winner verification. Use exports for review, customer support, or campaign archives.

Choose the Correct Giveaway Result

The list route answers which draws exist. It also shows when each draw ran. It cannot answer who won or which reply qualified. Use this handoff for each returned row:

Find Past Draws

Call GET /draws. Preserve id, tweetUrl, status, and createdAt.

Compare Entry Counts

Read totalEntries and validEntries from each list summary.

Verify Winners

Call GET /draws/{id}. Preserve position, username, tweet ID, and backup state.

Review the Source Tweet

Read the tweet ID, text, author, and engagement counts from draw detail.

Download Results

Call GET /draws/{id}/export. Select winners or entries and one format.
Do not label validEntries as a winner count. It counts inspected entries that passed the configured filters. Winner rows exist only in the detail response.

Build a Twitter Giveaway Audit Handoff

Store one summary row per draw. Keep the public draw ID as the join key. Preserve the source tweet URL instead of extracting a mutable username.
Fetch detail rows before publishing past giveaway winners. Preserve winner position and isBackup. This prevents backup winners from appearing as primary winners in dashboards or announcements.

401 Unauthenticated

Missing or invalid API key / session cookie.

429 Rate Limited

Too many requests. Wait for the Retry-After header before retrying.

Paginate Twitter Giveaway History

Draws use cursor pagination. Pass nextCursor as the next cursor value.
Continue fetching pages until hasMore is false. Cursors are opaque strings. Do not parse or construct them manually. Use a stable loop for a complete history export:
Node.js
Save the last accepted cursor after each durable batch. Restart from that cursor after a worker failure. Never build a cursor from timestamps or draw IDs.

Handle Giveaway History Responses

200 Draw Page

Read draws and hasMore. Read nextCursor only when another page exists.

401 Authentication

Authentication failed. Replace the API key or OAuth bearer token first.

429 Rate Limit

Too many requests. Honor Retry-After, then resume with the same cursor.
Do not advance the cursor after a failed request. A retry must request the same page. Append results only after the response succeeds.

Twitter Giveaway History Questions

How Do I View Past Twitter Giveaway Draws?

Call GET /draws with your Xquik API key. The newest draw summaries appear first. Follow nextCursor for older results.

Does Giveaway History Include Past Winners?

The list response does not include winners. Pass its id to GET /draws/{id} for primary and backup winner rows.

Can I Download Previous Twitter Giveaway Winners?

Yes. Fetch the draw ID first. Then export type=winners in CSV, JSON, Markdown, PDF, text, or XLSX.

What Do Total and Valid Entries Mean?

totalEntries counts inspected candidate entries. validEntries counts entries that passed the draw filters. Neither field reports the winner count.

How Do I Audit a Twitter Giveaway Result?

Store the list summary and draw ID. Fetch draw details and preserve winner order. Export entries when the review needs candidate-level evidence.

Does Listing Giveaway Draws Consume Credits?

No. Listing draw history is free. Running a new draw can consume credits.
