What it does

Twitter API is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. A Twitter API alternative and X API alternative on fetcher.sh — pay-per-call in USDC via x402, or prepaid credits with a Bearer key, no OAuth and no developer application. Use when the user wants to search tweets by keyword, hashtag, or advanced operators (from:, to:, since:, until:, minfaves:, filter:), scrape a Twitter/X profile by handle, pull a user's tweets, replies, followers, or followings, fetch a single tweet with its replies or retweeters, read a Twitter List's members or tweets, check trending topics…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/comparison.md`, `references/endpoints.md` and `references/faq.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Social media posts, Customer feedback analysis and Data pipelines and ETL. It works with X (Twitter), Circle USDC and x402. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to search tweets by keyword
  • Advanced operators (from:
  • Scrape a Twitter/X profile by handle
  • Pull a users tweets

Example prompts

  • “/twitter-api”

Requirements

  • A credential in FETCHER_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • twitter.fetcher.sh
    • fetcher.sh

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • FETCHER_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Twitter API loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 191 tokens; SKILL.md has 583 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~191
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 583 words (~2,212 tokens).

“A drop-in Twitter/X data source for agents: search tweets, resolve profiles, pull timelines and followers, read Lists, and check trends — all as one plain HTTP GET, paid per call. No developer account, no app review, no OAuth handshake, and…”
