Get following returns the accounts one X profile follows by username or numeric user ID. It is also useful as a Following API, X following API, or Twitter following API. The canonical endpoint remains GET /api/v1/x/users/{id}/following.
curl "https://xquik.com/api/v1/x/users/xquikcom/following?pageSize=100" \
  -H "x-api-key: xq_YOUR_KEY_HERE" | jq
The Node.js and Python snippets shape durable audience rows instead of printing full following profiles. Persist the mapped rows and nextCursor in your sync job.

​
Direct following handoff

Use GET /x/users/{id}/following when a CRM, warehouse, audience, or agent workflow needs one paginated JSON page of accounts followed by a user now. The endpoint accepts either a username or numeric user ID and returns followed account profile rows with cursor fields. Use following_explorer when you need an estimated job, saved extraction, or CSV/JSON/XLSX file export.

Following rows

Store users[] as the followed account profile rows returned on this page.

Stable upserts

Store users[].id as x_user_id for CRM, warehouse, audience, and agent dedupe.

Readable labels

Store users[].username and users[].name for handles, labels, segments, and review queues.

Profile enrichment

Store users[].description, location, url, profilePicture, and coverPicture when returned.

Next page

Store has_next_page and next_cursor; pass next_cursor back as cursor only when has_next_page is true.

Page size

Set pageSize from 20 to 200. Use cursor; after is a legacy alias.
Direct following calls cost 1 credit per user returned. Low credit balances can return fewer users than a full page; zero affordable results return 402 insufficient_credits. For MPP callers, this endpoint is billed as a session at USD 0.00015 per user returned.
