Requested result counts are upper bounds for paid authenticated calls. When remaining credits cannot cover the full page or ID list, Xquik returns fewer results. If zero paid results are affordable, it returns 402 insufficient_credits.

IDs only, 5,000 a page

Use GET /x/users/{id}/following-ids for the user IDs of the accounts a user follows. IDs arrive newest first. The response holds no profiles, so a page holds up to 5,000 IDs. Use it for fast audience syncs and set comparisons. Pass up to 100 IDs to GET /x/users/batch when you need profiles. Stop paging when has_next_page is false. A protected account returns 403 x_account_protected. Xquik charges nothing.

IDs or profiles?

Use GET /api/v1/x/users/{id}/following-ids when IDs are enough.
Use GET /api/v1/x/users/{id}/following when each row needs a profile.

Need	Route	Rows returned
IDs only	`/x/users/{id}/following-ids`	Up to 5,000 user IDs a page.
Full profiles	`/x/users/{id}/following`	Profiles with filters.
