import { Button } from '/snippets/button.mdx';

Speed up your development with official SDKs, developer tools, and community libraries.

Official SDKs

Async support, type hints, and automatic token refresh. Perfect for data analysis and automation. Full type safety and ESM support. Works in Node.js and modern bundlers.

Quick start

```bash pip install xdk ``` 
from xdk import Client

client = Client(bearer_token="YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN")

for page in client.posts.search_recent(query="api", max_results=10):
    if page.data and len(page.data) > 0:
        print(page.data[0].text)
        break

Full Python guide 

npm install @xdevplatform/xdk
import { Client } from '@xdevplatform/xdk';

const client = new Client({ bearerToken: 'YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN' });
const userResponse = await client.users.getByUsername('XDevelopers');
console.log(userResponse.data?.username);
