Use Xquik in Make when a scenario needs X (Twitter) search, account lookups, trends, publishing, extraction jobs, monitors, or webhook automation without an X Developer app.
Make discontinued its native X app in 2025. Start with a private Make custom app so your team can keep scenarios focused, test auth safely, and decide later whether to request public app review.
Prerequisites
- Xquik API key
- Make organization with Custom Apps access
- HTTPS Make webhook URL for instant monitor-event scenarios
- Optional Slack, Sheets, Airtable, or CRM module for downstream steps
App Shape
| Surface | Initial scope |
|---|
| Connection | API key parameter named apiKey, injected as x-api-key |
| Base URL | https://xquik.com/api/v1 |
| Modules | Search Tweets, Get Tweet, Get User, Get Trends, Create Tweet, Create Extraction, Create Monitor, Create Webhook, Make an API Call |
| Triggers | Monitor Event instant webhook, Extraction Completed polling |
| Error handling | Map 401, 402, 429, and 5xx to short scenario messages |
/account endpoint as the connection test because it validates the API key without mutating data.
Connection
Create a connection parameter that stores the API key as a password field:
[
{
"name": "apiKey",
"label": "Xquik API Key",
"type": "password",
"required": true,
"editable": true,
"help": "Create an API key in the Xquik dashboard."
}
]
GET /account to validate the connection:
{
"url": "https://xquik.com/api/v1/account",
"method": "GET",
"headers": {
"x-api-key": "{{parameters.apiKey}}"
},
"response": {
"metadata": {
"type": "email",
"value": "{{body.email}}"
},
"error": {
"message": "{{body.message || body.error || 'Xquik authentication failed.'}}"
}
},
"log": {
"sanitize": ["request.headers.x-api-key"]
}
}
Base Request Pattern
Use one base request pattern for JSON modules:
{
"baseUrl": "https://xquik.com/api/v1",
"headers": {
"x-api-key": "{{connection.apiKey}}",
"content-type": "application/json"
},
"response": {
"error": {
"message": "{{body.message || body.error || 'Xquik request failed.'}}"
}
},
"log": {
"sanitize": ["request.headers.x-api-key"]
}
}
| Status | Make scenario message |
|---|
401 | Authentication failed. Check the Xquik API key. |
402 | Subscription or credits required. Update billing in Xquik. |
429 | Rate limited. Respect the Retry-After header before retrying. |
5xx | Xquik service unavailable. Retry with exponential backoff. |
Starter Modules
| Module | Make type | Method and path | Notes |
|---|
| Search Tweets | Search | GET /x/tweets/search | Inputs: q, limit, optional cursor |
| Get Tweet | Action | GET /x/tweets/{id} | Input: tweet ID |
| Get User | Action | GET /x/users/{id} | Input: user ID or username |
| Get Trends | Search | GET /x/trends | Inputs: optional woeid and count |
| Create Tweet | Action | POST /x/tweets | Inputs: account, text, optional media URLs |
| Create Extraction | Action | POST /extractions | Inputs: toolType, query fields, result limit |
| Create Monitor | Action | POST /monitors | Inputs: username and event types |
| Create Webhook | Action | POST /webhooks | Inputs: callback URL and event types |
| Make an API Call | Universal | Any /api/v1 path | Escape hatch for endpoints not yet modeled |
{
"url": "/x/tweets/search",
"method": "GET",
"qs": {
"q": "{{parameters.q}}",
"limit": "{{parameters.limit || 25}}",
"cursor": "{{parameters.cursor}}"
},
"response": {
"iterate": "{{body.tweets}}",
"output": {
"id": "{{item.id}}",
"text": "{{item.text}}",
"authorUsername": "{{item.author.username}}",
"url": "{{item.url}}"
}
}
}
Instant Trigger: Monitor Events
Use a dedicated Make webhook for monitor events. Register that webhook URL in Xquik:
{
"url": "https://xquik.com/api/v1/webhooks",
"method": "POST",
"body": {
"url": "{{webhook.url}}",
"eventTypes": ["tweet.new", "tweet.reply", "tweet.quote", "tweet.retweet"]
}
}
{
"url": "https://xquik.com/api/v1/monitors",
"method": "POST",
"body": {
"username": "xquikcom",
"eventTypes": ["tweet.new", "tweet.reply", "tweet.quote", "tweet.retweet"]
}
}
| Make field | Xquik payload field |
|---|
| Event type | eventType |
| Occurred at | occurredAt |
| Username | username |
| Tweet ID | data.id |
| Text | data.text |
| Author username | data.author.userName |
x-xquik-signature with that secret before sending alerts.
Use a polling trigger when users want bulk results without webhook setup:
{
"url": "/extractions",
"method": "GET",
"qs": {
"status": "completed",
"limit": 25
},
"response": {
"iterate": "{{body.extractions}}",
"uid": "{{item.id}}",
"output": {
"id": "{{item.id}}",
"status": "{{item.status}}",
"toolType": "{{item.toolType}}",
"createdAt": "{{item.createdAt}}",
"completedAt": "{{item.completedAt}}"
}
}
}
GET /extractions/{id} and loop through nextCursor when hasMore is true.

Test Checklist
- Connection test rejects invalid API keys with a clear
401 message.
- Every module sanitizes
x-api-key in logs.
- Search modules return arrays and stable IDs for Make deduplication.
- Instant trigger maps
tweet.new, tweet.reply, tweet.quote, and tweet.retweet.
- Extraction polling stops when no new completed jobs are returned.
429 errors tell users to wait for Retry-After.- The Universal module accepts any
/api/v1 path but still injects the API key.
