What is X Search?
X Search is a specialized tool designed to bridge the gap between AI agents and real-time social media data. By utilizing the xAI API, this skill allows users to perform deep searches across X (Twitter), retrieving not just raw data but summarized insights powered by Grok. It is a vital addition to the library of Openclaw Skills for developers needing live public sentiment, news, or trend analysis.
This skill is engineered for precision, allowing for complex filtering by user handles, date ranges, and media types. It ensures that any data retrieved is actionable and verifiable by providing direct citations and links to the original posts on X.
X Search Use Cases
- Monitoring real-time trends and public sentiment regarding specific AI or technology launches.
- Tracking mentions and updates from specific industry leaders or competitors using handle-based filtering.
- Conducting historical research on social media discourse within specific date windows.
- Gathering visual content or product demos by specifically searching for posts containing images or video.
How X Search Works
- The user provides a search query and optional parameters such as date ranges or handle filters.
- The skill authenticates with the xAI console using the provided XAI_API_KEY.
- The Grok-powered search engine processes the query to identify relevant posts and visual content.
- Results are summarized and formatted into a readable structure including post text, author metadata, and source URLs.
- The final output is returned to the agent or user with full citations for verification.
X Search Setup
To integrate this tool with your Openclaw Skills environment, follow these steps:
- Obtain an API key from the xAI Console.
- Configure your environment using one of the following methods:
Option A: Environment Variable

}
- Ensure Python 3 is installed as it is the required runtime for the search scripts.
