Xquik uses a simple subscription model with a generous monthly usage quota. One flat monthly fee, no surprises.

Additional monitors$10/month each

Subscribe from the dashboard. Your subscription activates immediately and renews monthly. An active subscription is required for all API access.

​
Monthly Quota

Every subscription includes a generous monthly usage quota that resets each billing period. The quota covers operations that query the X API (searches, lookups, fetches). Management operations (monitors, webhooks, account) are unlimited. When the quota is reached, metered API calls return 402 Payment Required. Non-metered calls (list monitors, get account, manage webhooks) continue to work.
The quota is a hard limit per billing period. There is no overage billing - metered calls are rejected once you hit the limit. Monitor your usage via the account endpoint to avoid interruptions.

​
Monthly Operation Limits

Each subscription includes the following approximate operation limits per billing period:
OperationMonthly Limit
Tweet searches~66,000
User lookups~55,000
Follower fetches~66,000
Verified follower fetches~33,000
Follow checks~66,000
These limits are approximate and represent the maximum for a single operation type used exclusively. In practice, mixed usage across operation types shares the same quota pool.

​
Usage Scenarios

Three realistic monthly estimates:
  • 1 monitor (included)
  • ~100 tweet searches/day
  • Well within the monthly quota
  • Total: $20/month
  • 2 monitors (20base+20 base + 10 for the extra monitor)
  • ~500 tweet searches/day + ~200 user lookups/day
  • Comfortably within the monthly quota
  • Total: $30/month
  • 5 monitors (20base+20 base + 40 for 4 extra monitors)
  • ~2,000 tweet searches/day
  • Approaches the monthly quota limit
  • Total: $60/month

​
Checking Usage

Call GET /api/v1/account to see your current period usage: 
curl -s https://xquik.com/api/v1/account \
 -H "x-api-key: xq_YOUR_KEY_HERE" | jq
Response: 
{
  "plan": "active",
  "monitorsAllowed": 1,
  "monitorsUsed": 1,
  "currentPeriod": {
    "start": "2026-02-01T00:00:00.000Z",
    "end": "2026-03-01T00:00:00.000Z",
    "usedMicrocents": "4500000",
    "capMicrocents": "10000000"
  }
}
Compare usedMicrocents against capMicrocents to calculate remaining capacity. Both values are internal unit strings — compare them numerically.
Poll the account endpoint periodically to track usage. Build alerts when usedMicrocents exceeds 80% of capMicrocents to avoid hitting the cap unexpectedly.
