What is FxTwitter Extract?
FxTwitter Extract is a specialized tool designed for the Openclaw Skills ecosystem to bypass the complexities of official Twitter API access. By leveraging the FxTwitter public API, it allows developers and AI agents to programmatically retrieve comprehensive data from X, including text, high-resolution images, video links, polls, and quoted tweets. It serves as a privacy-friendly and efficient alternative for data gathering and social media monitoring.
This skill is particularly valuable because it requires no authentication keys or complex setup. It provides clean, structured JSON data that is perfect for feeding into LLMs or data pipelines. Whether you need to archive a specific thread or analyze a user profile's statistics, this tool offers a reliable and fast interface for X content retrieval within the Openclaw Skills framework.
FxTwitter Extract Use Cases
- Extracting multi-part Twitter threads for AI-driven summarization and knowledge management.
- Monitoring user profiles to track follower counts, engagement metrics, and verified status.
- Scraping media URLs and poll results for social media research and sentiment analysis.
- Automating content curation by converting X URLs into structured JSON data for external databases.
How FxTwitter Extract Works
- The user provides a tweet ID, profile handle, or a direct X/Twitter URL to the extraction script.
- The skill constructs a request to the fxtwitter.com API endpoints, such as /2/status/ or /2/profile/.
- A mandatory User-Agent header is attached to the request to ensure compatibility and compliance with the service.
- The skill parses the returned JSON payload, which includes deep metadata about the content, media assets, and author details.
- The structured data is then outputted to the console or saved for further processing by other Openclaw Skills.
FxTwitter Extract Setup
To get started with this skill within the Openclaw Skills environment, ensure you have Python installed. No external API keys are required as it uses the public FxTwitter service. Use the following commands to execute the script:
# Extract a single tweet by ID
python ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/fxtwitter-extract/scripts/fxtwitter_extract.py status <TWEET_ID>
# Extract a full thread by ID
python ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/fxtwitter-extract/scripts/fxtwitter_extract.py status <TWEET_ID> --thread
# Extract a user profile by handle
python ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/fxtwitter-extract/scripts/fxtwitter_extract.py profile <USERNAME>
# Extract directly from a URL
python ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/fxtwitter-extract/scripts/fxtwitter_extract.py url <X_OR_TWITTER_URL>
FxTwitter Extract Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill returns a structured JSON object with two main sections: status and author. Below is the schema detail for common extractions:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| status.text | The full text content of the tweet including mentions and links. |
| status.media | Object containing arrays for photos and video URLs. |
| status.poll | Details of options and vote counts for active or closed polls. |
| author.name | The display name of the content creator. |
| author.screen_name | The unique X handle of the user. |
| user.followers | Follower count data specifically for profile extraction tasks. |
All data is organized to be compatible with other Openclaw Skills that require structured input.
