X/Twitter Data Access for Developers and AI Agents

X/Twitter API alternative for developers and agents

In plain English

Xquik is a cheaper and simpler way for small teams to read data from X, formerly Twitter. It also connects to AI assistants so they can search and watch accounts on their own. Customers prepay for what they use. It grew because the official option became too expensive for many teams.
