BNBot - Control Twitter/X via AI

BNBot operates through a real browser session via Chrome Extension. 40+ CLI tools for posting, engagement, scraping, user profiles, content fetching, articles, and job searching.

• Chrome Extension: Install
• npm: bnbot-cli

First-time setup (run once after install)

After bnbot-cli is installed, start the WebSocket daemon:

nohup bnbot serve > /tmp/bnbot.log 2>&1 &
sleep 1
lsof -i :18900 -P 2>/dev/null | grep LISTEN

Confirm port 18900 is LISTEN before proceeding.

Before using any bnbot tool

Check if the daemon is still running:

lsof -i :18900 -P 2>/dev/null | grep LISTEN

If empty, restart it:

nohup bnbot serve > /tmp/bnbot.log 2>&1 &

How to use tools

All tools are executed via the bnbot CLI:

bnbot get-extension-status
bnbot post-tweet --text "Hello world!"
bnbot scrape-timeline --limit 10

Output is JSON.

Auto-thread for multiple images: When post-tweet receives more than 4 images (Twitter's limit), it automatically splits into a thread — first tweet gets the text + first 4 images, subsequent tweets get remaining images in batches of 4. You don't need to manually use post-thread for this.

Media support: Parameters like --media, --image, --headerImage, --bodyImages accept both local file paths (~/Downloads/image.png) and URLs (https://example.com/image.jpg). Files are auto-converted to base64 before sending.

If extension is not connected

If bnbot get-extension-status shows connected: false, tell the user:

Chrome Extension is not connected. Please:

1. Install extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bnbot-your-ai-growth-agen/haammgigdkckogcgnbkigfleejpaiiln
2. Open https://x.com in Chrome
3. Open BNBot sidebar → Settings → turn on OpenClaw
