# Update X profile

Change bio, display name, location, website, avatar, or banner on a connected X account.

## Choose an endpoint

| Endpoint | Purpose | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| PATCH /x/profile | Update bio, name, location, website | Write tier |
| PATCH /x/profile/avatar | Upload a new avatar | Write tier |
| PATCH /x/profile/banner | Upload a new banner | Write tier |

The base URL is `https://xquik.com/api/v1`. Authenticate with the `x-api-key: xq_...` header.
Every profile write requires a unique `Idempotency-Key` header.
Direct REST callers supply it. Hosted MCP injects it automatically.

## Example requests

```
PATCH /x/profile
{
  "account": "<connected_username>",
  "description": "building stuff",
  "name": "Jane Doe",
  "location": "SF",
  "url": "https://janedoe.com"
}
```

Every request needs `account`. Send only the fields the user wants to change.

## Update the profile

1. `GET /x/accounts` to pick the acting account.
2. Show the before and after value for every requested field.
3. Wait for confirmation of each field or the complete diff.
4. Send the selected write. Direct REST supplies the key. Hosted MCP injects it.
5. Poll `statusUrl` after a `202` response until `terminal` is true.

## Get confirmation

The audience sees profile changes immediately. Show exact new values before the call. Change only requested fields.

## Protect the account

Avatar and banner URLs must use HTTPS. Accept JPG or PNG files within the documented size limit.
