Xcatcher — Recent X Posts

Read Xcatcher's live capabilities, prices, limits, endpoints, and recommended agent workflow. Call this first when planning a crawl or when cached documentation may be stale. No points are consumed.

Normalize and deduplicate X handles, validate the mode, and preview the current modeled points/USDC cost. This free read-only check requires no account, creates no quote or task, and moves no funds. Use it before requesting a live x402 payment challenge.

Return a stable synthetic example of Xcatcher's paginated result and coverage metadata. No live X data is fetched, no account is needed, no task or quote is created, and no funds move.

Return the account attached to the current Bearer API key and its points balance. Use before creating a task to estimate whether an x402 top-up will be needed. Read-only.

List recent tasks owned by the current Bearer API key, newest first. Use next_before_id for cursor pagination. Read-only and does not consume points.

Create a short-lived USDC quote for a requested number of Xcatcher points. Returns the exact live amount and supported Base/Solana payment requirements; it does not move funds. Ask the user before signing or sending any payment.

Create a request-bound x402 v2 payment requirement for an accountless crawl. Use this only for the accountless x402 path after preflight_crawl; API-key accounts use create_crawl_task instead. Normal requests use progressive batch pricing, so quote the complete deduplicated handle list together. This does not move funds. Return payment_required_b64 unchanged to an x402-compatible wallet/client; the

Submit an x402 v2 PAYMENT-SIGNATURE for the exact users/mode used by get_direct_crawl_payment. This may settle USDC and create a crawl task. Call only after explicit spending approval. On success, securely save task_token: it grants task-scoped result access for seven days.

Read an accountless paid crawl using its task_id and task-scoped token. Use this instead of get_task_status for an accountless x402 task. Poll every 5-10 seconds until task.has_result is true or it reaches failed/cancelled.

Return structured JSON rows for a completed accountless paid crawl. Use this instead of get_result_preview for an accountless x402 task; API-key accounts use get_result_preview. Use offset for pagination; the task token is required and should be treated as a secret.

Create a crawl task for one or more X (Twitter) usernames. Side effects: creates a new task AND consumes points. If points are insufficient, upstream returns HTTP 402 with PAYMENT-REQUIRED (quote). This tool surfaces it as error.code=PAYMENT_REQUIRED with payment_required payload so agents can request spending approval, top up, then retry safely. Modes: - normal: Fast latest-post snapshot at sca

Top up points for the CURRENT Bearer key using x402 proof. Inputs: - quote_id: returned by PAYMENT-REQUIRED (or /api/v1/x402/quote) - payment_signature_b64: base64(JSON) that will be passed as HTTP header PAYMENT-SIGNATURE Side effects: credits points to the same Bearer key (no key rotation). On success returns credited_points and balance_after (shape depends on upstream).

Get API-key account task status by task_id (read-only); accountless x402 tasks use get_direct_task_status instead. Recommended polling interval: every 5–10 seconds until has_result=true. Returns safe structured state, result metadata, and authenticated result URLs; server filesystem paths are never exposed.

Poll a crawl task server-side until it has a result, reaches a terminal failure/cancelled state, or the bounded timeout expires. Read-only and cheaper for agent context than repeated manual polling.

Return up to 100 result rows from an API-key account task as native structured JSON for direct agent analysis; accountless x402 tasks use get_direct_result_preview instead. Use offset/next_offset for pagination; this does not download or parse XLSX. Use after has_result=true; use get_result_download_url when the complete XLSX is required. Read-only.

Get an absolute download URL for a task result (read-only). If the task is not finished, returns ok=false with code=RESULT_NOT_READY (HTTP 409). Downloading the URL requires the same Authorization: Bearer token.

Cancel a queued task by task_id. Side effects: changes task state. Xcatcher refunds cost_points when a queued task is successfully cancelled.
