Use KDocs for typed methods.

Use API reference for request contracts.

Install

Gradle:

implementation("com.xquik.api:x-twitter-scraper-kotlin:0.9.0")

Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.xquik.api</groupId>
  <artifactId>x-twitter-scraper-kotlin</artifactId>
  <version>0.9.0</version>
</dependency>

Verify Maven Signatures

Every Maven Central file has a detached OpenPGP signature.

Verify the main Kotlin artifact:

artifact="x-twitter-scraper-kotlin-0.5.2.jar"
base="https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/xquik/api/x-twitter-scraper-kotlin/0.5.2"
curl --fail --location --remote-name "$base/$artifact"
curl --fail --location --remote-name "$base/$artifact.asc"
gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0xD2037E4157E62A59
gpg --verify "$artifact.asc" "$artifact"

Confirm fingerprint 6965 E561 C0AC EE32 060A B961 D203 7E41 57E6 2A59.

Authenticate

Create an API key in the Xquik dashboard. Then set:

export X_TWITTER_SCRAPER_API_KEY="your-api-key"

OAuth users can set X_TWITTER_SCRAPER_BEARER_TOKEN instead.

Create 1 client and reuse it:

import com.x_twitter_scraper.api.client.XTwitterScraperClient
import com.x_twitter_scraper.api.client.okhttp.XTwitterScraperOkHttpClient

val client: XTwitterScraperClient = XTwitterScraperOkHttpClient.fromEnv()

You can also pass credentials directly:

val client: XTwitterScraperClient = XTwitterScraperOkHttpClient.builder()
    .apiKey("your-api-key")
    .build()

Supported client settings:

Setting	System Property	Environment Variable	Default
API key	xtwitterscraper.apiKey	X_TWITTER_SCRAPER_API_KEY	None
OAuth token	xtwitterscraper.bearerToken	X_TWITTER_SCRAPER_BEARER_TOKEN	None
Base URL	xtwitterscraper.baseUrl	X_TWITTER_SCRAPER_BASE_URL	https://xquik.com/api/v1

System properties override environment variables.

Search Posts

import com.x_twitter_scraper.api.models.x.tweets.TweetSearchParams
import com.x_twitter_scraper.api.models.x.tweets.TweetSearchResponse

val params = TweetSearchParams.builder()
    .q("from:elonmusk")
    .limit(10L)
    .build()

val result: TweetSearchResponse = client.x().tweets().search(params)

Close the client when your application stops:

client.close()

Use Coroutines

Call async() to use suspending methods:

val result: TweetSearchResponse = client.async().x().tweets().search(params)

Configure Retries

The client retries eligible failures twice by default.

val client: XTwitterScraperClient = XTwitterScraperOkHttpClient.builder()
    .fromEnv()
    .maxRetries(4)
    .build()

Xquik may still return a successful HTTP response with a structured API error. Handle the documented error code from the response body.

Read Raw Responses

Use withRawResponse() when you need headers or status codes:

import com.x_twitter_scraper.api.core.http.HttpResponseFor
import com.x_twitter_scraper.api.models.account.AccountRetrieveResponse

val response: HttpResponseFor<AccountRetrieveResponse> =
    client.account().withRawResponse().retrieve()

val status: Int = response.statusCode()
val account: AccountRetrieveResponse = response.parse()

Binary endpoints return HttpResponse. Close each response after reading it.
