# Write Twitter threads

Draft multi-post threads on X. This guide returns text. `post-tweets` publishes each confirmed reply against the previous post ID.

## Choose an endpoint

| Endpoint | Purpose | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| POST /compose with step=compose or refine | Get rules for the thread topic and tone | Compose tier |
| POST /drafts | Save a thread draft | Read tier |

The base URL is `https://xquik.com/api/v1`. Authenticate with the `x-api-key: xq_...` header.

## Example requests

```
POST /compose
{
  "step": "compose",
  "topic": "why static sites beat SPAs for blogs",
  "goal": "authority"
}
-> { contentRules, followUpQuestions, scorerWeights, topPenalties }
```

Use the returned rules to draft the thread in chat. Keep each post within 280 characters. Give each post 1 clear job.

## Publishing flow

1. `POST /compose` with `step: "compose"` for the topic.
2. Show the user every tweet in sequence. Wait for confirmation.
3. For each tweet in sequence, follow these steps.
   - Post the first via `post-tweets` guide.
   - Capture the returned `id`.
   - Post the next with `reply_to_tweet_id` = previous id.
4. Stop on any error and show it to the user.
