Changed on Oct 20, 2026

get/api/v1/x/users/{id}/live

Request

Base URL: https://xquik.com
URL: https://xquik.com/api/v1/x/users/{id}/live
Auth: one of:
- API key in header x-api-key
- HTTP bearer
- none

Path parameters

idstring required

User ID, username with or without @, or URL-encoded profile URL, such as x.com/nasa or x.com/i/user/11348282. A number is a user ID. Writes look up a username's ID before sending. Anything else gets 400 invalid_user_id.

Query parameters

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

Live status

liveboolean required

True while the user's latest broadcast is running.

userIdstring required

ID of the user.

userNamestring required

Username of the user.
