/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 tweet lookups being sent to FxTwitter, which may observe the requested tweet IDs and request metadata. Avoid using it for sensitive or private URLs unless the publisher adds clearer privacy disclosures or a configurable provider.
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
Purpose & Capability
The network request to api.fxtwitter.com is directly aligned with the stated tweet-fetching purpose and uses only parsed tweet identifiers.
Instruction Scope
The third-party API dependency is part of the described workflow, but users would benefit from clearer privacy wording about sending requested tweet identifiers and request metadata to FxTwitter.
Install Mechanism
No evidence indicates unusual install behavior, package installation, startup hooks, or hidden activation.
Credentials
Outbound network access to one tweet-fetching API is proportionate for this skill; no broad filesystem, credential, or account access is indicated.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence, privilege escalation, background worker, credential use, or local profile/session access is evident.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
