GET /api/v1/x/places/search

Tweets

Changed on Oct 20, 2026

Finds places on X by name. Pass a place's id as place to /x/tweets/search to read posts tagged there. X ranks the places, so their order can differ between requests. Each returned place costs 1 credit.

get/api/v1/x/places/search

Request

Base URL: https://xquik.com
URL: https://xquik.com/api/v1/x/places/search
Auth: one of:
- API key in header x-api-key
- HTTP bearer
- none

Query parameters

qstring required

Place name to search for, such as istanbul. Alias query. Xquik's cap is 4,096 characters.

limitinteger

Maximum places to return. Omit it for every place X finds. A low credit balance can return fewer. Aliases pageSize, count, max_results, maxItems, max_items & per_page.

fieldsstring

Example:id,text,author.username

Fields to keep in each row, comma-separated. Use dots for nested fields, such as author.username. A list keeps the field in each item. Case & underscores do not matter. A row that lacks a field leaves it out. Cursors, counts & diagnostics always stay. An unknown name answers 400 unknown_field with the valid names, before any read. The price stays the same. SDK row types then hold only the named fields. A longer URL fails at the edge before Xquik reads it.

omitstring

Example:entities,media

Fields to drop from each row, comma-separated. It takes the same names as fields. With fields, it drops from the kept fields. A longer URL fails at the edge before Xquik reads it.

Response

Places X found for the name

countinteger required

Places returned & charged.

totalinteger required

Places X found, before limit.

messagestring

What to send instead. Present only when X finds no place.
