x-fetch

Fetch tweet, thread, or X Article content from x.com or twitter.com URLs — no API key required.

What it does

• Converts any x.com or twitter.com URL into readable content via the fxtwitter API
• Returns full tweet text, author info, engagement stats, media URLs, and thread context
• Handles X Articles (long-form posts) — extracts full content blocks
• Works in Claude Code, Cowork, and OpenClaw

Install

Claude Code / Cowork:

git clone https://github.com/jeremyknows/x-fetch.git ~/.claude/skills/x-fetch

OpenClaw:

git clone https://github.com/jeremyknows/x-fetch.git ~/.openclaw/skills/x-fetch

Setup

No setup required. The fxtwitter API is public — no tokens, no keys.

Requires curl or any HTTP tool (web_fetch works too).

Usage

Just share an X URL and ask about it:

• "What does this tweet say? https://x.com/..."
• "Summarize this X post: https://twitter.com/..."
• "Who wrote this and how many likes? [url]"
• "Get the full article from this X link: [url]"

How it works

The skill rewrites x.com → api.fxtwitter.com and fetches structured JSON:

curl -s "https://api.fxtwitter.com/username/status/1234567890"

Returns: text, author, engagement stats, media URLs, article content (if X Article), and reply_to for thread traversal.

Limitations

• Private/protected tweets: not accessible
• Deleted tweets: not accessible
• Rate limits: fxtwitter may throttle heavy usage
• Full threads: fetches one tweet at a time; traverse reply_to manually
