Schedule Tweet Search, Timelines & X Data Workflows with Prefect

Run Xquik reads in Prefect 3 flows. Use reusable credentials, async tasks, and Prefect retries.

Choose this integration for scheduled ingestion and downstream Prefect tasks.

Available Tasks

This package exposes 6 read-only tasks. Use the REST API for follower exports or writes.

Install

pip install prefect-xquik

Register Blocks

prefect block register -m prefect_xquik

Create a block in the Prefect UI or with Python:

from prefect_xquik import XquikCredentials

credentials = XquikCredentials(api_key="your_xquik_api_key_here")
credentials.save("xquik", overwrite=True)

Store API keys in Prefect blocks, not in flow source files.

Create a Flow

from prefect import flow
from prefect_xquik import XquikCredentials, get_trends, search_tweets


@flow
async def social_signal_flow() -> dict:
    credentials = XquikCredentials.load("xquik")

    tweets = await search_tweets(
        credentials,
        query='"prefect" OR "workflow orchestration"',
        query_type="Latest",
        limit=25,
    )
    trends = await get_trends(credentials, woeid=1, count=10)

    return {"tweets": tweets, "trends": trends}

Import Tasks

from prefect_xquik import (
    get_trends,
    get_tweet,
    get_user,
    get_user_tweets,
    search_tweets,
    search_users,
)

Tasks return the raw Xquik JSON response as a Python dictionary. Configure Prefect runtime behavior with with_options:

from prefect_xquik import search_tweets

search_recent_tweets = search_tweets.with_options(
    name="Search Recent X Posts",
    retries=2,
    retry_delay_seconds=10,
)

API Contract

The credentials block sends x-api-key and xquik-api-contract: 2026-04-29.
