Get user mentions timeline

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.

1 credit per tweet returned · All plans from $0.00012/credit

Get user mentions timeline returns tweets that mention one X account. Use it for brand mentions, support inboxes, lead routing, and agent handoffs. The canonical route stays GET /api/v1/x/users/{id}/mentions.

# Username mentions timeline
curl "https://xquik.com/api/v1/x/users/xquikcom/mentions" \
  -H "x-api-key: xq_YOUR_KEY_HERE" | jq

# Numeric user ID mentions timeline
curl "https://xquik.com/api/v1/x/users/44196397/mentions" \
  -H "x-api-key: xq_YOUR_KEY_HERE" | jq

# Time-bounded mentions window
curl -G "https://xquik.com/api/v1/x/users/xquikcom/mentions" \
  --data-urlencode "sinceTime=1777392000" \
  --data-urlencode "untilTime=1777478400" \
  -H "x-api-key: xq_YOUR_KEY_HERE" | jq

The Node.js and Python snippets write one JSON Lines row per mentioned tweet. Persist each row with the latest next_cursor before requesting the next page.

Direct mention handoff

Use GET /x/users/{id}/mentions when a support, community, brand monitoring, lead routing, or agent workflow needs the newest tweets mentioning one account. This mentions timeline endpoint accepts either a username or numeric user ID and returns one JSON page at a time. Use mentions when you need a saved extraction, estimate, or CSV/JSON/XLSX file export. Store mentioned_user_id_or_username, tweet_id, text, tweet_url, author_id, author_username, author_name, author_followers, author_verified, author_profile_picture, created_at, conversation_id, reply context, engagement counts, media URLs, page_cursor, has_next_page, and next_cursor. Treat next_cursor as opaque and pass it back as cursor only when has_next_page is true. Use sinceTime and untilTime to bound a poller window. Zero affordable results return 402 insufficient_credits.

Build a mentions triage job

Use these checkpoints when a support inbox, lead queue, campaign report, or agent workflow needs bounded mention pages with resumable cursor state.

Resolve the target

Use a username when the handle is stable, or store a numeric user ID for repeat jobs and warehouse joins.

Bound the window

Pass sinceTime and untilTime when a poller, support queue, or campaign report needs a closed mention window.

Route the row

Store author fields, reply context, conversation_id, engagement counts, tweet_url, and media_urls for triage or scoring.

Cursor checkpoint

Store page_cursor, next_cursor, and has_next_page before requesting another mentions page.
