/install x-tweet-fetcher
Description
Fetch full tweets, long tweets, quoted tweets, and X Articles from X/Twitter without login or API keys, using no dependencies and zero configuration.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable with requested public tweet identifiers being sent to FxTwitter. Avoid using it for sensitive research workflows where even the fact that you queried a specific post should remain private.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: x-tweet-fetcher
Version: 0.1.0
The skill 'x-tweet-fetcher' is designed to fetch tweets from X/Twitter using the FxTwitter public API. The `fetch_tweet.py` script uses standard Python libraries (`urllib.request`, `json`, `re`) to make network requests exclusively to `https://api.fxtwitter.com`. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution (e.g., `eval`/`exec` of untrusted input), persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the agent in `SKILL.md`. The code's behavior is fully aligned with its stated purpose, and it does not introduce any high-risk capabilities beyond its declared function of querying a specific third-party API.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
The script requires Python and outbound HTTPS access to FxTwitter, which is proportionate to fetching public tweet content and does not read local files or environment secrets.
Install Mechanism
No installer, package dependency, post-install hook, or automatic execution path was found; the artifact is documentation plus one stdlib Python script.
Instruction Scope
Network use is disclosed in SKILL.md and README.md, including api.fxtwitter.com in SKILL.md, though the privacy implication that queried tweet identifiers are sent to a third party could be clearer.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence, privilege escalation, background service, memory writing, credential use, or tool modification behavior was found.
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is fetching tweet and article content without X authentication, and the script only parses a public tweet URL into username and tweet ID, calls FxTwitter, and formats the returned content.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install x-tweet-fetcher - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/x-tweet-fetcher - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
