twitterapi-io

Use the local skill script for read-only twitterapi.io access.

This skill exists to make common twitterapi.io reads simple and low-noise instead of rebuilding custom API calls each time.

Quick rules

  • Use this skill only for reads.
  • Do not improvise posting/like/reply/delete flows.
  • Prefer compact JSON output by default.
  • Use --raw only when you actually need full API objects.
  • Prefer the official docs links in references/links.md when validating endpoint behavior.

Local setup

Prefer the skill-local script over any global CLI install. Prefer a saved config file over shell-exported environment variables.

No package install is required for the local script. Use:

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io

Primary config path:

~/.config/twitterapi-io/config.json

Recommended one-time setup:

<skill-path>/scripts/setup-api-key.sh

That writes the API key to the config file so later reads work without needing to source .env.

Commands

Show built-in help

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io help

Authenticate once

<skill-path>/scripts/setup-api-key.sh

You can also use env as an override or fallback, or use auth --api-key only when command-history exposure is acceptable:

export TWITTERAPI_IO_KEY='YOUR_KEY'
<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io auth --api-key YOUR_KEY

Fetch one tweet

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io tweet --url 'https://x.com/jack/status/20'

or:

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io tweet --id 20

Fetch one user

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io user --username OpenAI

Fetch recent tweets for a user

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io user-tweets --username OpenAI --limit 10

Include replies:

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io user-tweets --username OpenAI --limit 10 --include-replies

Fetch replies to a tweet

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io replies --url 'https://x.com/jack/status/20' --limit 20

Optional unix-time filters:

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io replies --id 20 --since-time 1741219200 --until-time 1741305600 --limit 20

Fetch quote tweets

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io quotes --id 20 --limit 20

Fetch thread context

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io thread-context --id 20 --limit 40

Fetch mentions for a user

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io mentions --username OpenAI --limit 20

Advanced search

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io search --query 'AI agents -filter:replies' --from-user OpenAI --within-time 24h --max-tweets 50

Use Top results when needed:

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io search --query 'AI agents' --queryType Top --max-pages 2

Use explicit unix-time operators when needed:

<skill-path>/scripts/twitterapi-io search --query '$BTC' --since-time 1741219200 --until-time 1741305600 --max-tweets 50

Workflow

1. Read references/links.md if you need the underlying official twitterapi.io docs links. 2. Use the local skill script. 3. Ensure the API key exists in ~/.config/twitterapi-io/config.json or via env. 4. Use tweet, user, user-tweets, replies, quotes, thread-context, mentions, or search as needed. 5. Keep reads narrow and intentional.

Expected outputs

The CLI returns JSON. Parse it instead of scraping human text.

Default output is compact and low-noise. Use --raw when full endpoint payloads are actually needed.

Files

  • Package repo: https://github.com/robin-liquidium/twitterapi-io-cli
  • Launcher: scripts/twitterapi-io
  • Python implementation: scripts/twitterapi_io.py
  • Credential setup helper: scripts/setup-api-key.sh
  • Official docs links: references/links.md
  • Config storage: ~/.config/twitterapi-io/config.json
  • .env is optional fallback only; it is not the preferred long-term setup.

When to stop and ask

Stop and ask before:

  • adding write/posting capabilities
  • adding login-cookie flows
  • adding broad/high-cost scraping defaults
  • changing how API key storage works
