X (Twitter) API Skill

CRITICAL: Read This First

You control the X (Twitter) account using the script at

/root/.openclaw/skills/x-api/x-api.js

There is NO

twitter

command, NO Python, NO pip in this container. Do NOT search for other tools. Do NOT try to use curl with OAuth headers. Do NOT try to install anything.

The ONLY way to post tweets is:

node /root/.openclaw/skills/x-api/x-api.js post "Your tweet text here"

This script handles ALL OAuth 1.0a signing automatically using your configured API keys. Just run it.

Commands

Post a tweet:

node /root/.openclaw/skills/x-api/x-api.js post "Hello world! This is my first tweet."

Post a thread (multiple connected tweets):

node /root/.openclaw/skills/x-api/x-api.js thread "First tweet of thread" "Second tweet continues..." "Third tweet wraps up"

Reply to a tweet:

node /root/.openclaw/skills/x-api/x-api.js reply 1234567890 "This is my reply"

Quote-tweet:

node /root/.openclaw/skills/x-api/x-api.js quote 1234567890 "Interesting take!"

Like a tweet:

node /root/.openclaw/skills/x-api/x-api.js like 1234567890

Delete a tweet:

node /root/.openclaw/skills/x-api/x-api.js delete 1234567890

Check your recent tweets:

node /root/.openclaw/skills/x-api/x-api.js timeline 10

Schedule a tweet for later (saved to queue, posted by cron):

node /root/.openclaw/skills/x-api/x-api.js schedule "Good morning!" "2026-02-22T09:00:00Z"

Schedule a thread for later:

node /root/.openclaw/skills/x-api/x-api.js schedule-thread "Tweet 1" "Tweet 2" "2026-02-22T09:00:00Z"

How It Works

The script uses Node.js built-in
```
crypto
```
module — zero dependencies
OAuth 1.0a HMAC-SHA1 signing is done automatically
API credentials are read from environment variables

Output is JSON with

{ success: true/false, data: {...}, summary: "..." }

Important Rules

Always use

node /root/.openclaw/skills/x-api/x-api.js

— this is your Twitter tool

Never try
```
pip install
```
,
```
python
```
,
```
curl
```
with OAuth, or any other method
Tweet text max 280 characters
Thread max 25 tweets
The script returns JSON — check the
```
success
```
field to confirm it worked
