x-api
X/Twitter API integration for posting tweets, threads, reading timelines, search, and analytics. Covers OAuth auth patterns, rate limits, and platform-native content posting. Use when the user wants to interact with X programmatically.
npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill x-api --agent codex
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# X API > **Drift-prone skill.** X API endpoints, access tiers, quotas, and write > permissions change frequently. Verify current developer docs and account > access before quoting rate limits or implementing a posting/search flow. Programmatic interaction with X (Twitter) for posting, reading, searching, and analytics. ## When to Activate - User wants to post tweets or threads programmatically - Reading timeline, mentions, or user data from X - Searching X for content, trends, or conversations - Building X integrations or bots - Analytics and engagement tracking - User says "post to X", "tweet", "X API", or "Twitter API" ## Authentication ### OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token (App-Only) Best for: read-heavy operations, search, public data. ```bash # Environment setup export X_BEARER_TOKEN="your-bearer-token" ``` ```python import os import requests bearer = os.environ["X_BEARER_TOKEN"] headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {bearer}"} # Search recent tweets resp = requests.get( "https://api.x.com/2/tweets/search/recent", headers=headers, params={"query": "openai codex", "max_results": 10} ) tweets = resp.json() ``` ### OAuth 1.0a (User Context) Required for: posting tweets, managing account, DM

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill x-api --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mturac/everything-openai-codex, a repository with 84 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
